Off to SCOTUS.
Time to round ‘em up and ship ‘em out GO WEST GAY MAN GO WEST!@
Not surprised here. They will be overturned on appeal, as usual.
No surprise at all coming from the 9th Circus.
It is what I expected out of the California Appeals Court. Not a shock.
The decline continues.
what a shock, NOT
Now would they also say 4 wives for muslims or 9 wives for mormons on religious grounds be unconstitutional too?
Nah did not think so.
Just because they go to their elitist parties and meet their cross dressing and homo friends does not mean what they do and how they act and what they ask for is normal or constitutional
Anyone on our side saying no big deal tot he queer agenda needs to get their head out of where the sun does not shine, this is not about just marriage
Why do we even vote anymore? What’s the point if some court is going to over rule?
The question remains. Prop 22 was overturned noting that citizens must change Constitution so Prop 8 was voted on to change the Constitution and yet it is now deemed UN-Constitutional.
The questions remains - how do the American people change their Constitution for a say in how government operates?
Our Senate Legislature in Washington State just approved QUEER marriage. Now it goes to the House and the governor said she would sign it. They said we have until June to get 130,000 signatures for an initiative to get in on the ballot for the people to vote on, but now with the 9th saying it is unconstitutional to not permit QUE ER marriage, what good would voting on it do us?
I am sick in my heart what is happening to our country.
It was a known, foregone conclusion that 9th Circus was going to decide this way.
To the SCOTUS with it.
I’m looking forward to the “Yes on 8” legal team’s email detailing the decision and their plan going forward. I’d encourage everyone reading this to donate profusely to this excellent legal team. The are up against an army of Goliaths with deep pockets.
How can a constitution amendment be unconstitutional?
Thank God. And thank you for relaying that information. I'm not about to open a link to that SanFransicko rag.
Well that does it. My wife has family in CA. She has been wanting to move back to Thousand Oaks, CA for 5 years now....but is smart enough to realize that it would be insane. I’d rather move to Yuma, AZ and commute to San Diego than become a citizen of CA, where it seems (according to his ruling) that there is no more reason to even have vote if you are conservative.
President Newt will ask Congress to disembowel the Ninth Circus. Good. Perhaps the other social justice tyrants will take heed.
No surprise here, everybody knew the fix was any way back when they named a bunch of lib judges to hear the case. As others have stated, this was just a necessary detour on the road to the Supreme Court anyway.
Here is a link to the opinion:

Amazingly, the Ninth Circuit DID NOT hold that there was a fundamental right for sodomites to “marry”. In fact, the entire panel rejected the sodomites’ argument on that point. The decision is very, very narrow. It applies ONLY to California, not the rest of the States in the Ninth Circuit.
The decision was 2-1, with Reinhardt and his sock puppet voting to invalidate Prop 8 on different grounds that the pervert Homosexual Judge Walker decided.
This was probably designed to shield the case from Supreme Court review.
