They passed over the cases that overturned the state bans but they are taking the case that affirmed the state bans. Seems very clear how they plan to rule. We need a federal marriage amendment.
All it would take is for ONE State to just Abolish Marriage altogether. Just Refuse to acknowledge any marriage at the State Level. No Benefits for ANYONE but the Individual. And NO MARRIAGE at all Statewide.
CALL their Bluff.
Justice Kennedy who replaced Judge Bork will vote to uphold gay marriage in a 5/4 vote. Anyone willing to bet?
If those bastards force fag-marriage onto my state, I’m ready for the whole damned, depraved country to burn to the ground.
yep. there are no provisions in the constitution for preventing queer “marriage”
it will get decided on an equal protection basis. foregone conclusion.
when the left does not get what they want at the ballot box, they go to the courts. roe v wade, et al
John Adams once said that our Constitution was written for a moral people, and will not work otherwise.
looks like he is about to be proven right, once again.
I hope that this Supreme Court case is not a staged Alinsky-type setup where so-called pro-traditional marriage attorneys argue friviolous points in favor of state bans on same-sex marriage.
Politically correct interpretations of the 14th Amendment’s Equal Protections Clause aside, interpretations which activist judges have been using to argue that state bans on gay marriage are unconstitutional, please consider the following. The states have never amended the Constitution to expressly protect gay agenda “rights” like gay marriage. So the states are free to make 10th Amendment-protected state laws which discriminate against constitutionally unprotected gay marriage, imo, as long as such laws don’t unreasonably abridge constitutionally enumerated rights.
If they try to force mandatory participation that’s where I draw the line!/S
No there are more benefits than liabilities. I filed joint taxes until my husband died. Now I pay quite a bit more as a single filer. They get the better tax rates because of their perversity. They get to share SS benefits. Lots of things. My mom could draw on my dad's SS when she retired even though they were divorced longer than they were married and he had a new wife -- she had had several husbands since.
We are paying them for their perversity while widows still pay higher rates.
Don’t forget, making it a “hate crime” to preach the Biblical truth about homosexuality. That will be coming too.
Their choice. The need to choose wisely.
Judge Anthony Kennedy getting ready to deliver the coup de grace. When this whole gay marriage debate really took off I felt the Supreme Court was eventually going to force it upon the nation.
This thread really turning Gay right now YIKES
Every black robe tyrant wants to make sure that their name is listed in all of the future LGBT history books as having “evolved” on sexual deviancy.
Sounds drastic, but it might be all that is left. Legal scorched earth.
Every plebiscite has rejected this perversion, but the liberal courts have forced this abomination upon us. God is not mocked. He is storing up His day of wrath for all disobedient nations!
and just one federal court to tell them to start recognizing them again
I bet it will be at least 6/3 because someone will want to “get on the right side of history” once they see which way the vote is going. My guess is Roberts.
Just some rugged young men posing with their food. What’s the problem?
The Court, in granting cert., actually said that it will decide two questions: (1) does the 14th Amendment require all states to permit same-sex marriages, and (2) does the Full Faith and Credit Clause require all states to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states. Question 2 is irrelevant if the Court answers question 1 "yes." So, my own bet is that: the Court will answer question 1 "no" but will answer question 2 "yes"; and that both rulings will be 5-4, with Kennedy in the majority in both.
In effect, this will legalize same-sex marriage in all 50 states, but it will require gays in states like Oklahoma to travel out-of-state to have the ceremony performed; Oklahoma will then have to recognize their marriage when they return. This will permit Kennedy to both legalize same-sex marriage everywhere while still saying that he hasn't abandoned states' rights.
