A federal judge in Ohio ordered state officials Monday to recognize the marriage of two men that was performed in Maryland on the death certificate of an Ohio resident in hospice care who the judge says

SCOTUS doesn’t have the last word on this.
Total set up. They likely judge shopped in OH as well. Thanks Kennedy. Who appointed this mighty Constitutionalist as a SCJ?
Correct. When the person dies, his siblings/blood relatives could pursue having the “married” on death certificate overturned, if Ohio does not recognize same-sex marriages. Then the siblings could inherit by Ohio’s default rules for intestate decedents.
Tax would only come into play if we are talking about millions in the estate.
Read the comments at the link. But take your BP meds first!
...and in some states -like Massachusetts- you don't even get a chance to HAVE a vote to be ignored....
If, as was supposedly ruled recently by SCOTUS, it is a state issue, then the proper federal order would have been that the death certificate be issued in Maryland, and especially if the couple with intention went to Maryland for the marriage license.
Personally, I’d tell the fed judge to go pound sand if I were Governor Kasich, and I’d promptly pardon anyone at any time who is charged by that same federal judge, including myself.
I would FORCE them to send in the military to override my authority.
This is my state. We voted down gay marriage. Let them castrate themselves. Maranatha, Lord Jesus!
Ohio needs to say, “You have no Constitutional authority to make that demand, so we refuse to accept and honor it.”
Haven’t the libs clearly established that we can ignore ‘unlawful orders’
I love my gun. Therefore California should be forced to recognize my Utah CCW permit. My gun and I are attached at the hip. How dare California refuse to recognize my firearm marriage that was consummated in Utah.
It's unfair. It's all about love.
Guns are like good dogs. Just a little loving care, and they’ll stand between you and the wolf.
Screw em! There’s no Full Faith and Credit for gun laws—to hell with the homo laws.
A will would do the same, so I don’t see that as an issue. Nobody is entitled to the money of another at death.
It would allow a gay spouse to get the benefit of any marriage adjustments in the estate taxes — spouses can inherit with no tax in most cases. But I can’t say I’m all that upset about that, because all of us should be able to inherit without tax (and most of us will, at least federally, with the 5 million deduction).
That is why they chose this case — it is the one most likely to invoke some level of sympathy even among opponents of SSM. Once this case grants the right, then they get it all, like forcing christian business to provide spouse benefits for same sex couples.
Ohio should ignore the order. Make the Feds deploy troops. Enough deployments at so many dollars a day would eventually break the Federal government and its communist courts.
the slippery slope begins. The next thing that we will have to accept is a man with multiple wives moves this country. Where does it end?
Tell the federal judge no.
Yeah, they’d better watch what they’re doing or they’ll open Pandora’s box.
The death certificate would have to be issued in the state where he died. Since Ohio doesn’t recognize gay marriage, I have no clue why this judge ruled the way he did, except he had an agenda. It was likely judge shopped to get the result they wanted.
The ruling should be challenged.
