Could you please not lump the left coast with the rest of the state? The “weirdos” only occupy 13 coastal counties. The interior, while not as densely populated, is much more conservative and libertarian.

How about a closet homosexual President and a male dog or hamster or rabbit or horse or all of the above?

How will you equate the democrat Party with this decision?

Are you kidding me, that will be super easy. Just show the video of obambi speaking to the National Gay Associations...clear as black and white. Pictures are worth, specially video, about a trillion words.

guarantee you that some NAMBLA freak is seeking out a psycho lawyer to propose that man boy love should be legal.

More great GOP Campaign add material.

Where in The Constitution is marriage mentioned?

It doesn't matter what the Constitution actually says. This judge is a known homosexual and probably had his mind made up before he even heard the case. A gay judge deciding an issue in his own favor...*gee* no conflict of interest there.

A homo leftist Dem judge ruled that homo marriage is a right.
Wow! What a surprise!
Shazam! Sure must of caught everyone by surprise!

Next, poligamy and marrying my pet duck has to be a right.

It’d be bigotry otherwise.

And men with young boys too.

And womeen and big dogs, etc.

Only fair.

Can’t discriminate.

And necrofilia has to be a Constitutional mandate as well.

Big tent, you know.

The U.S. Constitution doesn’t mention marriage at all. That was left up to the states. A majority of Californians want to keep marriage defined traditionally, and so it should be, as per their referendum.

"Where in the Constitution does it mention anything about giving perks to promote, intelligence, education, hard work, physical fitness, or leadership etcetera? The Constitution limits government -it does not define society -DUH..."

Yes but you are treating Society and Government as one in the same. You are guilty of the same sin as the leftist you wish to Social Engineer via government goodies. Both you and the leftists are wrong to do so.

It’s time for the states to follow Missouri’s lead and start taking on this rogue federal government directly. The federal government’s ONLY legitimate power has been conditionally delegated by the states ONLY under the limitations of the U.S. Constitution.

Harness your anger into effective action by launching a ballot initiative immediately for this November's election for the State of CA to NULLIFY this utterly unconstitutional and invalid decision by this run-away rogue federal government which has abandoned its only delegated authority - the U.S. Constitution.

Well, I don't think marrying minors, dogs or ducks is on the horizon.

But polygamy is a slam-dunk, based on a simple reading of precedents from the Rehnquist court.

Planned Parenthood v. Casey says: "At the heart of liberty is the right to define one's own concept of existence, of meaning, of the universe, and of the mystery of human life."

Romer v. Colorado says: "the amendment seems inexplicable by anything but animus toward the class that it affects; it lacks a rational relationship to legitimate state interests."

Lawrence v. Texas says: "They seek to control a personal relationship that, whether or not entitled to formal recognition in the law, is within the liberty of persons to choose without being punished as criminals."

It's very clear that the USSC has ALREADY DECIDED the issues of homosexual "marriage" and polygamy, and it's just waiting on the appropriate cases to issue the rulings.

I was told by a nurse relative who worked in LA, that it really does boil down to AIDS and insurance. The gay men don’t care who they are marrying, they will continue to have several partners at a time, they are not looking for a monogamous relationship, what they are looking for is a sugar-daddy with insurance that they can use to pay for the very expensive treatments.

She said gay women are different, they are pretty monogamous, and AIDS and insurance is not really their motivation.

I have no substantiated research to back up either of these claims, just passing on one woman’s commentary from her own experience.

It was a rhetorical question actually. And, I agree totally with what you said. At the very least, Gay Judge should have recused himself.

Yep. I think SCOTUS is going to kill the ban.

Marriage is a legal institution, not a religious one. It’s a legal one because we have to go down to the courthouse to get a marriage license. The courthouse is a government building of the judicial branch of government. It is not a house of god. Ever wonder how athiests get married? They don’t go to church. They dont ask a priest. They go to the courthouse and get married by a judge or a Justice of the Peace. The courts dont give a damn about religious traditions or what religious texts say.

The only thing that is going to stop this is a constitutional amendment. And considering all the other problems facing the country, gay marriage is not going to be a very high priority on the minds of voters.

Yes, he should have. My question is, why didn’t the defense attorneys demand it??

I don't know about that. Judge Napolitano, who is usually pretty accurate, thinks Kennedy would vote with the liberals on this one. Kennedy previously voted with them to invalidate a Colorado law that interfered with gay rights.

True, but in CA's case, Prop 8 was a constitutional change, not simply a passed law.
