Judge orders Ohio to recognize out-of-state gay ‘marriage’ despite state’s marriage amendment
Life Site News ^ | 7/23/13 | Ben Johnson

A U.S. district judge has ordered a clerk in the state of Ohio to recognize a same-sex “marriage” conducted in another state, because the state's constitutional amendment defining marriages does “likely violate the U.S. Constitution.”

U.S. District Magistrate Timothy Black declared in his opinion on Monday that the “purpose served by” the amendment in “treating same-sex married couples differently than opposite-sex married couples is the same improper purpose that failed in Windsor and in Romer: ‘to impose inequality’ and to make gay citizens unequal under the law.”

The tenth amendment? Toilet paper to this judge.

We need a spiritual awakening.

What a dork.

The people of Ohio have decided what is in their best interest, and NOWHERE in the U.S. Constitution is the "Rights of the States" pre-empted on this issue, whether the USSC agrees, or not.

Powers not Granted to the Federal Government are Retained by the States, jerkwad.

So at what point do states tell the feds to “eff off” and dare them to send in federal troops if they feel so strongly about it?

Who didn't see this coming... This is a VERY important development, and one the left has been planning for some time now.

It will be interesting to see if they try to keep it out of the news.

I am so sick of this crap imposed on us by illogical godless fools who do not have a lick of sense.

Homosexuals and heterosexuals are NOT equal and will NEVER BE equal.

Since two men or two women can NEVER conceive a child by their actions, can never propagate the species, whose physical actions are NOT love but lust, they are not and never will be equal.

This equality baloney being spewed by the senseless and illogical is just that, senseless and illogical.

God have mercy.

The proper response here would be for the state officials, led by the governor, to to tell this judge to take a hike. Idiot federal judges like this only have power because we all accept that they have power. As soon as we decide that they don’t, then they don’t. What are the feds going to do, send troops into Ohio? If I were the governor, I’d send a letter to the judge stating “Dear Sir, go f*** yourself.”

No one seems to be citing the Full Faith and Credit clause. Is it a weaker case than the Equal Protection approach that seems common in these recent decisions? Or is there something there that will put a stop to these end-arounds?

Time for states to start walking away from this now-failed experiment called the “united states.”

The gays are indignant in Hoosierland too, because Pence wants to put it to a vote of the people.

How dare he trust this to “We The People”

No, we need Chilean style death squads. We're way past the ballot box.

We are so screwed. We conservatives were not paying attention. I believe that the federal government will begin withholding federal funds from states that do not accept gay marriage. It has been done many times in the past with DUI and seat belts and even the confederate flag. We are so done unless like one our of FRiends said earlier...a revival. I sorta wished that we would have just made the tax code one percentage across the board so that the gays would not have needed gay marriage to lesson the taxes. The ONLY reason gay marriage is an epidemic is because of that one lesbian couple.....the woman died after they were together 40 years and she ended up having to pay 300 million in taxes where is she was married she didn’t pay a dime in taxes. Taxes are the root of all evil!!!!!!! lol.

Mark Levin outlined this. The SCOTUS knew EXACTLY what state activist judges would do when they made this decision.

inJustice Kennedy, you filthy God-hating scumbag. You have delivered our nation into the arms of the devil.

Some laws - and judges - are to be ignored. Might as well start here.

this order should be ignored, Ohio should simply announce it won’t comply
