The judge's opinion that matters is that of Anthony Kennedy, the one-man Constitutional Convention.

Then the People and the States can give their opinion AGAIN.

This issue requires a “sober” and “sane” response. I think some of our fellows who are worked up about this issue are neither.

I missed your valuable input on the political fight against gay marriage, what is your sane and sober input?

So far, you only mock those who are against it.

Read what I said....Gay marriage is about the government taking over religion by backdoor means....changing the definition of marriage to give it the ultimate ability to control churches and religious belief some point down the road.

It starts with the legalization of gay marriage and continues with the silencing of speech by those who oppose it and or homosexuality.

When Kennedy gave the country legal sodomy, the next logical step was for the sodomites to demand “marriage”. When it finally gets to the Supreme Court Anthony Kennedy will give them their wish. Another absolutely terrible republican appointee.

The argument against gay marriage is an argument against an incremental destruction of the First Amendment’s protections of free speech and freedom of religion.

I don’t argue the merits of it because this isn’t ultimately about gay marriage or gay sexuality, its a new fascistic movement to suppress our freedoms.

As much as that doesn’t make sense, what does it have to do with conservative political efforts to oppose the legalization of gay marriage?

So you stay out of conservative politics and just visit the threads to mock conservative politics and posters efforts to preserve marriage?

I wonder if this boy in the black burqa can provide any proof that it’s “unconstitutional”. There is nothing in the U.S. Constitution that says it is. After all, the Constitution belongs to the American People, not some freeloading retarded “judge” who is afraid to get a REAL job. OTOH, maybe he’s talking about his daily constitutional.

When faggot Federal Judge Tyrants subvert the fairly resolved elections and will of the citizens of the respective states, they only ensure the abolishment of the Federal Judiciary in its current form.

So in effect , this faggot scumbag has actually sealed the Federal Judiciary’s fate, and is instrumental in the demise of its ability to destroy the USA

Thanks a lot Faggot!

Only until some dictator in a black robe decides the referendum is invalid. Isn't that exactly what happened in California?

Federal judges answer to congress, not the state legislature.

As for this being a coordinated action, of course it is. ‘Gay rights’ activists filed these cases in virtually every state once they won Massachusetts. Thank you, Governor Romney, for not having the balls to tell the state supreme court that they don’t make law, and dropped it back in their lap to declare every marriage in Massachusetts to be unconstitutional.

It all comes back to Romney. Gosh, I’m horrified that he’s not in the White House instead of Obama.

**The U.S. Supreme Court last year struck down the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act, which barred the federal government from recognizing same-sex marriage. It determined the law improperly deprived gay couples of due process.**

Prayer ping for these judges.

The law school I can understand, but on a Catholic School’s board?

The FACT is that anywhere that it is voted on, the voters vote for One man ONE woman marriage as the only form. It is only through the judiciary and I believe in one state the legislature, through judicial pushing, that homosexual marriage was voted for.

Who is going to appeal it? The ass hat judge wouldn't allow an interested party to defend the will of the people. The fascist Democrat Attorney General wouldn’t do her SWORN DUTY and fight for the will of the people. She should be arrested by a local county sheriff and refused council in her trial for treason as she SWORE to uphold the constitution of her state when she was elected. Last time I checked Constitutional amendments are part of the constitution and are as valid as any other part.
