I keep thinking the reason SCOTUS didn’t hear any of those SSM hearings is some of them are hoping it’ll be legalized before they have to admit state SSM bans are constitutional. If it wasn’t, wouldn’t they have mentioned it when they overturned DOMA? So, why are they biding their time? Blackmail. I said “some”.
You would think we could, wouldn’t you.
Anyway, it is nice to hear about Judges with principles.
I wish somebody would compile a chart of the 50 states, showing exactly how many people forced homosexual marriage on each of them.
In some New England states it was a part of their legislature and governor. But in many states it was either just one federal judge, or a panel of three federal judges.
The purpose of the exercise is to show how anti-democratic the whole thing has been.
The final part of the chart should be to show how many people in those states were *opposed* to gay marriage, *if* they had the opportunity to say so on the ballot.
For example, in California, 7,000,000 voters said “no” to homosexual marriage (prop 8), and only 1 federal judge said “yes”, and overruled them as his opinion meant more than did theirs, because they were “the people”, who matter less than 1 judge.
He should have stayed on the bench and refused to perform as "directed."
““I was Christian when I started,” said Breedlove. “Then, the law didn’t require me to perform something that was against my religious belief. Now that law has changed its requirements.””
If Federal couts are ‘not empowered to rewrite law’ then the law did not change it simply was given an entirely new and unprecedented meaning never even imagined by its authors or anyone who then spoke or read English, nor anyone but a corrupt loonitic today.
I agree with this judge in stepping down rather than violating religious concus nothing is more important in life than fidelity to God. I just would have made the Federal injustice system remove me for refusing to obey their lawless edicts. Let the blood of their violations be on their hands.
