The Supreme Court of the United States
The Virginia State Supreme Court has no power to issue a stay on any decision of the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals or even any federal district court for that matter.

RE: The Supreme Court of the United States
Is this a decision made by one justice or the 9 justices?
If all 9, who voted what?
“I worry that we can’t trust five justices at the SCOTUS to rule on the traditional side in this matter.”

Well, at least I hope we can trust them to correctly say that each state has a right to define marriage as its citizens see fit.
They’ve put a hold on other states’ “gay marriage” bans being overturned. Still not deciding one way or the other. Gonna be bigger than the O’Care decision.
maybe they will rule that 2 grown man should not rub their junk together or hump each other because it`s immoral and the Bible refers to it as an abomination
No they wont say that, but they should!
God can as easily point to a standard by allowing controlled chaos (the old adage that one never misses the water till the well runs dry).
Living biblically is ultimately going to depend on people believing, really BELIEVING, on the Lord. And this is nothing that courts or legislatures can effect on earth.
It’s about time they ruled that states have decided and have constitutional amendments too.
One thing is for sure, and that is the drama queens will get their panties in a twist over this.
They move to states like here in the south. They then go judge shopping throwing out millions of votes and constitutional amendments.
Has out side ever said that though?
I’ve been saying for years that they have the same rights as us, and we cannot marry the same sex either.
Now if they go on equality then it should be any kind of marriage which opens a whole load of crap. The homosexuals don’t want polygamy etc, but they want their kind of marriage.
No ones rights have been stripped away over marriage as we all have the same rights.
I worry that we can’t trust five justices at the SCOTUS to rule on the traditional side in this matter.
Anthony Kennedy has been salivating to do this for decades. And, of course, the four supremes appointed by RATS will rule that way. Kennedy wanted to do this with the California Prop 8 case but Roberts and Scalia were afraid of the bad PR for the court so they got the RATS to go along with the bogus sidestep of claiming that the defendants, who had been ratified by the CA supremes, actually did not have standing.
The faggots have been celebrating prematurely, because this WILL get straightened out.
Maybe the Florida idiot hack Judge from Broward County didn't read this opinion by the DC SCOTUS idiot Kennedy.
"DOMA's unusual deviation from the usual tradition of recognizing and accepting state definitions of marriage here operates to deprive same-sex couples of the benefits and responsibilities that come with the federal recognition of their marriages.
This is strong evidence of a law having the purpose and effect of disapproval of that class.
The avowed purpose and practical effect of the law here in question are to impose a disadvantage, a separate status and so a stigma upon all who enter into same-sex marriages made lawful by the unquestioned authority of the States."
In other words, SCOTUS has ALREADY ruled that the States have the UNQUESTIONED right to define marriage, it is not a Federal issue.
Is there supposed to be an article at the link, or has it been pulled?
No article. It was simply a banner headline.
Thanks.
“....SCOTUS has ALREADY ruled that the States have the UNQUESTIONED right to define marriage, it is not a Federal issue. “
Yeah, it’s not. Until it is!
Another answer to prayer.
I have been praying about this issue; I think it is of utmost importance our civilization gets back to respecting God’s law.
God’s law doesn’t SAVE us, but it does give us a standard...and our nation’s creation of a permanent underclass via dependence on government via the destruction/confiscation of private property since the 1930s, our endorsement of infanticide since 1973, and the attempt to force a celebration of perversion in this decade are terrible sins.
We must pray these notions are reversed if we are going to live or strive to live in a biblical manner.
Psalm 2
1 Why do the nations conspire[a]
and the peoples plot in vain?
2 The kings of the earth rise up
and the rulers band together
against the Lord and against his anointed, saying,
3 “Let us break their chains
and throw off their shackles.”
4 The One enthroned in heaven laughs;
the Lord scoffs at them.
5 He rebukes them in his anger
and terrifies them in his wrath, saying,
6 “I have installed my king
on Zion, my holy mountain.”
for later
