I fail to see how the court can rule on a case while not allowing one side to be defended. This would be like a criminal trial where the defendant was not allowed a lawyer and not allowed to speak.

To what end? the Supreme Court has essentially stated that “We the people” have no standing in cases where the “elected” refuse to defend the legislation passed with a majority vote, if it does not meet their liking.

California has been lawless for may years. The Democrats are total communists orientated and will never give up the power. California has become the communists breeding ground of America.

It's exactly what the Nazis did leading up to WWII.

As I read the SCOTUS decision the pro Prop 8 people had no standing so they wouldn’t have had standing to bring the case to court. There shouldn’t be any Federal Decision. If no decision no stay to allow for appeal. The last decision standing is California’s Supreme Court.

The decision pretty much guts the initiative process if the Governor and Attorney General are supporters of the other side. Refuse to defend the law passedby iniative and side supporting it wins by default.

exactly!

the TRUE outrage here is that the PEOPLE are never given standing to challenge any of these things, whether it’s Obama’s birth certificate or gay marriage in California, this issue of “standing” is the real problem.

We the PEOPLE, should ALWAYS be assumed to have standing!

Actually, and procedurally, there was no ruling here. The 9th Circuit just lifted it’s injunction which it has the authority to do at any time. It could have done it while the case was pending before SCOTUS. So it’s not a hearing or anything of that nature. It’s mere “house keeping” as it were.

Merely an FYI. Not taking a pro-position on the merits of the SCOTUS decision by any means.

Agreed. The GOP is forever dead in CA. The demographic shift is it’s own type of coup.

Doesn't the Constitution guarantee the states a republican form of government? Article IV, Section 4: "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government". How is it a republican form of government where the governor can thwart a constitutional amendment legally passed by the voters of the state simply by not defending something he doesn't agree with?

I doubt that the Supreme Court would grant emergency ruling.
Let’s face facts: there is 5-4 split in favor of gay anything at the Supreme Court. I am surprised that other sex deviate cases aren’t being filed at the altar of “equality” for every conceivable sexual combination presently outlawed by state statues.

“The decision pretty much guts the initiative process ...”

I thought the same thing, but upon reflection it may not be quite that bad. Say for instance old Uncle Jerry decided to ignore Prop 13. Even a single homeowner would be injured in that case, so they would have standing in court.

I think.

Generally, republican government is where the people's authority is exercised through their representatives, not directly by ballot initiatives.

I would think that any county clerk who has just been ordered to start issuing same sex marriage licences would have standing to file a new lawsuit. They were not parties in the last suit and there now is no appellate decision affirming what the district court decided in the last suit.

Let America's sodomites revel in their celebrations ...

and let their "christian" and "liberal" and "libertarian" enablers revel with the sodomites as well.


America's judgement is coming ... imagine a "nation-wide-katrina" catastrophe, and you get the idea.

I lived in New Oleans for twenty years, leaving fifteen years before katrina desvastated the city.

New Orleans (circa 1970-1990) was EXACTLY what America is today ... the most wicked obscenities "smiled and winked-at" by a large percentage of citizens ...

and the few voices who declare that "this abhorrent evil must end" are pilloried and crucified in the public forums ...

and even in the so-called "christian" churches there are limp-wristed calls for "accomodation" and "compromise" with the sodomites.



Even in St. Petersburg Florida, whose mayor is a declared pro-life christian ... he SHAMEFULLY issues a "letter of invitation" to the vile sodomites that will parade today down the city's streets, flaunting their evil and depavity ...

and their bloody hatred against all things "Christian".



Meanwhile, I calmly look at my wristwatch to check the time, knowing that at some future moment, the vile and putrid "Gay-Sodomite Pride" and "Pro-Choice Child Murderer Rights" celebrations ...

broadcast on every American television screen by the "Sodomite-Gestapo News and Propaganda Ministry" ...

and celebrated by the evil Executive Management of American corporations like Home Depot and J.C. Penny ...

will someday be sharply contrasted with the sudden and violent and deadly destruction of these same "American Sodomites" and their foolish and vile supporters in America's so-called "christian churches".



And just to prove the point ... just as EVERYONE instinctively KNOWS that katrina was the "Righteous Judgement of The Almighty" against the Mississippi River's version of Sodom and Gomorrah ...

and that NO MAN's fingerprints were on the divine judgement against the putrid and vile "Crescent City" ...

only the divine fingerprints of The LORD whose mercy and patience had been exhausted over decades and decades by the New Orleans sodomites ...



Someday ... the horror of horrors ...to be repeated against the United States of America ?

the "once and lost" God-Honoring Land of the Free, Home of the Brave ...

to be transformed into a morally and financially corrupt cesspool, it's once free and proud citizens SUBJUGATED under the bloody hands of FOREIGN INVADERS (illegal immigrants) ...

a once mighty and proud and God-Honoring military sadly defeated in battle ...

and the Four-Daily calls to honor the "Child-Rapist Mohammed" be issued from their once proud and majestic church steeples ?



Who will rise to be the American "Charles Martel the Hammer" against the godless sodomites, illegal invaders, and islamic terrorists being brought by the Federal Government every year to live on America's shores ?
