Justice Anthony Kennedy Shuts Down Prop 8 Supporters' Request to Stop Gay Weddings
New York Magazine ^ | 6/30/2014 | Caroline Bankoff

Well, that was quick. The U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday evening ordered that same-sex marriages begin again in California, and after less than a day of weddings, Prop 8 advocates filed an emergency motion to halt the unions, claiming that they still had time to ask the Supreme Court to reconsider its decision to dismiss their challenge to a 2010 ruling that Prop 8 is unconstitutional. Kennedy, who is responsible for motions dealing with the Ninth Circuit, was swift in his response. The Associated Press reports that he "turned away the request on Sunday with no additional comment." Keep getting married, everyone!

DC is the modern day Soddom & Gomorrah. SCOTUS will be ground zero when God lets loose.

Notice how the 4 reliable, leftist mutants gay parading on the SCOTUS never veer off course and lurch rightward. Its always one of our ‘conservatives’ taking the opposite left hand turns with that dubious honor.
So maddening-—put your treasure in heaven folks because this world is gonna blow-—no pun intended.

The SCOTUS and the IRS should be disbanded. Both are corrupt usurpers of American freedom.

“Can we impeach Supreme Court Justices?”

No but the states can start ignoring Supreme Court declarations. If Obama and Holder can decide which laws they will enforce, why can’t the States determine which Supreme Court rulings they will obey?

Amendment 10 to the US. Constitution: “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”

The only way the abuse of federal power will stop is when the states and the people stand up to it. Not unlike 1776.

Arkansas tried that in 1957, but it ended badly when President Eisenhower sent the 101st Airborne into Little Rock with bayonets fixed and orders to use those bayonets on white Southerners who dared to raise their hands in defiance to the Supreme Court and the authority of the federal government.

Most definitely. I fully expect that will be the next perversion to be legalized. Age of consent laws will be abolished even before polygamy is legalized.

Supreme Court Justices can indeed be impeached but in the current Senate, you would need 22 Democrats to vote guilty and Barry Soetoro would get to nominate the replacement; I don’t think we want that.
Justice Samuel Chase was impeached but found not guilty in 1805.

I’d just as soon see the court of supreme activists done away with.

In fact I’m not sure that anyone in this country is capable of judging anything anymore, and should not be given the power to do so.

I’m beginning to think the gays are a lot more than only 3%. After a rare trip to the mall yesterday, I swear every guy there looked gay and seemed to be shopping with their boyfriend. It’s hard to tell anymore.

Uh, yes Supreme Court Justices most certainly CAN be impeached. But it's never been done and not likely to happen.

The only way the abuse of federal power will stop is when the states and the people stand up to it. Not unlike 1776.

In this particular instance, the state government of KKKalifornia has been almost completely homosexualized, and they are not going to stand up to the court.

A few years ago several different polls were taken, even the Allen Gutmacher institute which is a leftist organization connected with PP put the number around 2%, which is pretty consistent.

Of course, with recruitment going on in schools and the media, more may try perversion. Then the lie that “if you have had one “gay” thought, desire or experience, you ARE “gay” and can never ever change! You’re one of us, now!” kicks in. Teenagers are encouraged to “experiment” and then they are locked in via lies. Of course some still manage to leave the homo life, but if more knew the truth, more would make the attempt to leave it.

And the most popular recruitment method is adult homosexuals molesting young children and adolescents, that’s how most become homosexual. And now that they can foster and adopt children, or in the cse of females, have sperm donors, more children will “become” homosexual - either via being molested, or totally screwed up being around perverts during their formative years.

Let Obama send in the military to protect pedophiles.

Let him.

We’ll see how long it stays the “united” states after that.

As of last Thursday, there can no longer be any question that we live in Sodom...

May God preserve us as He preserved Lot.

I thought that the US Supreme count only passed the buck to the states. If that is true, then Prop 8 is still in effect until overturned by the state legislature. Yes?

Correct...and nobody is going to do a damn thing about it or you will be Paul Deen’d off into irrelevance.

This is real disenfranchisement.

On a positive note, I know black Obama voters who are disgusted by Obama’s support of gay “marriage”. I tell them vote Democrat and you get sodom & gomorrah. Huge impact. Democrats may lose Christian blacks over this.

Also goes to show you what horseshit the confirmation hearings were for Kagan and Sotomayor who we both knew going in were going to be 100% pro-gay and pro-anything Obama wanted.

Guess what? He still has a very good chance at getting one more justice and then after him? Hillary for 8 years and she would have a chance at getting 2 herself. Which would hands down change the country forever with zero hope of it ever being what it once was.

Roberts is a total disgrace and fraud and let me just call him it right now and here...A BASTARD.
