JACKSON, Miss. — A federal judge has overturned Mississippi's ban on same-sex marriage, but he is putting his order on hold for two weeks so the state can appeal.
U.S. District Judge Carlton Reeves issued a preliminary injunction Tuesday.
State attorneys have already said they will ask the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to block Reeves' order....

The sickness continues or else someone’s stuffng envelopes and putting them in judges’ mailboxes.
Well, Terrence Bean should be happy
Whim of a judge usurping Will of the People again.
Black judge appointed by barack Hussein Obama.
It will take decades to clean up the mess Obama left.
Of course, the only way to impose gay marriage on us is through judicial rule as they are doing.
Dems are such lying ass-wipes when they preach the power and legitimacy of Democracy only when they think it will serve them and destroy it when it doesnt.
Rave on fagots, enjoy your day in the sun. When you stand before G_d you will learn the error of your ways.
Lawlessness.
Slightly off topic comment:
On other sites, there are comments that say something like, “Mississippi? I thought they’d be the last to ever legalize SSM.” “WTG, Mississippi!” or “Shocking!”. Similar comments have been made about other states, too.
This misunderstanding of basic civics disturbs me.
With a few exceptions, these bans are getting overtuned by federal judges, not the states themselves, so obviously the political temperament of a certain state is pretty much irrelevant to the issue of timing or how surprising such an outcome is. All that matters is when the suit was filed and the speed and ideology of the judge.
Yet another federal “judge” earns his teabags.
This fact seems to be lost on many on our side. They think since the RATS preachy "democracy" constantly, they want to take this country in the direction of a pure, direct democracy of "mob rule" where 51% of the electorate gets whatever they want.
In reality, the RATS don't give a flying %$#@ about doing what "the majority" wants, and only use that rhetoric to get in power. Once in power, they do the opposite and take AWAY people's ability to hold government accountable. Obama had no qualms about whining about the executive branch acting unilaterally when Bush was in power, then had no qualms about taking even MORE power into the executive branch when HE was in office. The RATS might claim to be vehemently against state legislatures appointing Senators, but IF they actually got to do so, the RATS would love it and waste no time appointing the worst tyrants to those seats for life.
Earth to the Levinites: We need MORE democracy in America right now, not less. We'd be a lot better off if the majority of a state's citizens were deciding policy instead of a handful of unelected federal judges.
Another judge who has never heard of the 10th amendment.
A federal judge has overturned Mississippi’s ban on same-sex marriage
Based on what?
How does a Federal Judge overturn a State Law? No reasoning given just he overturned it. Nothing, nowhere, not in an manner does the US Constituion give perverts the right to marry. The people that wrote that Constitution would call this judge insane and demand his removal. Its about time the people stand up and say no more. You can not change our Constitution by Court order.
And why doesn’t Congress start impeaching these judges?
Obama isn’t the problem. A populace that could vote Obama in (or within the range of fraud) is the problem.
How do we clean THAT up?

Anther Obama appointiee which is what most of theses lawless ‘judges’ are.
If they cant impeach Obama they cant impeach lawless Federal injustices. That said I agree they should and at a minimum drasticly reduce the size of the Federal bench. The fewer Federal injustices the loner it will take them to enforce their lawless edicts. Thus we shall have more freedom in the mean time.
States need to ignore these “legislating from the bench” rulings.
If the president can ignore the law, then the states can, too.
It’s not only Mississippi. Yesterday a federal judge in Arkansas struck down its ban on same sex marriages too.
