Wisconsin gay marriage ban ruled unconstitutional
WISN ^ | 6/6/14

A United States District Court judge has ruled that Wisconsin's gay marriage ban is unconstitutional.

Judge Barbara Crabb issued a motion of summary judgment for the paintiffs, stating that Article XIII of the Wisconsin Constitution "violates planitiffs' fundamental right to marry and their right to equal protection of laws under the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution."

I don't recognize it; never will.

And I'm not afraid to say so.

I wonder how long before the backlash begins with others as well.

Another one bites the dust.

Looks like Gavin Newsom was right when he said we’d be getting fag marriage “whether we like it or not”.

So, if we were to vote in a conservative president, can a liberal judge now declare the election void based on her own desires?

Right now they are doing something very similar by overturning the will of the majority on moral issues.

See? Summary judgment...the will of the people thwarted.

Pray for America. We are in danger.

Do the lovers of truth have any legal right of appeal?

So, all marriage laws of each state are now invalid? What about states that differ on requirements regarding degrees of consanguinity, age, and competency levels? All out the window?

I could see that IF the 14th Amendment were actually relevant here, that states would have to recognize marriages from other states, but to just tell a state that THEY MUST PERFORM THESE "MARRIAGES" is beyond the pail of despotism.

Good point about the ages require for marriage.

Suppose a 15 year old girl gets married in State A where it is legal but then moves to State B where it is not legal?

Is she still married and is her 25 year old husband breaking laws?

Overturning a “ban” does not mean the state has to recognize gay “marriage”

WRONG.

The day after a fed ruled KY's ban on homo marriage unconstitutional, another fed judge ruled that KY MUST recognize same sex marriages.

Another state bites the dust. The GOP might as well just throw whatever principals it stands for out the door and embrace this head on.

What would the judge do if Scott Walker refused to order the cities to issue marriage licenses?

Liberals would argue that the 14th Amendment applies to force the states to issue and recognize homosexual marriage but somehow it doesn’t apply to the 2nd Amendment.

Another bull dyke judge overrules the will of the people. And as usual a republican governor cowers down to her like a dog in heat.

Obastard has gave marching orders to any democrat federal judge to rule state same sex marriage ban as unconstitutional. It makes no diffference to this lawless POS that the people voted for these bans and the us constitution does not mention marriage. The goal is to have the majority of the states have it already “legal” when the supreme court finally hears the case. Then presto the supreme court will no reason to rule against it because activist judges have already done their work for them.To hell with the people and welcome to the Socialist States of America.

The American population has been set up. The liberals have been putting their crony judges in place for just a time as this, and now we see the real reason folks like Dirty Harry wanted the nuclear option to ensure he can keep putting his fellow dirt bags in judgeships across the nation.

The right of marriage lies with the states EXCLUSIVELY as guaranteed by the 10th Amendment. There is no such thing as a federal marriage license.
