That train pulled out of the station a while back. Most in the United States have silently indicated that they prefer living as slaves than dying free. Take my freedom! Just do not let my EBT Card expire.
The people can overrule the U.S. Supreme Court by way of a Constitutional Amendment!
Elimination of state recognition of marriage is a fall back position. It may be necessary to protect churches that will not perform homosexual “marriage”. I am not ready to go there yet, but the SCOTUS decision might change that.
One of the messy areas to deal with is adoption.
Simply put, what activist justices don’t want citizens to know about 14A is following. Regardless that activist justices are now using 14A to create politically correct rights, 14A’s Equal Protections Clause (EPC) in the example of gay marriage, the Supreme Court had historically clarified that the 14th Amendment didn’t add any new rights to the Constitution. It only strengthens rights which have been expressly amended to the Constitution by the states.
“3. The right of suffrage was not necessarily one of the privileges or immunities of citizenship before the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment, and that amendment does not add to these privileges and immunities. It simply furnishes additional guaranty for the protection of such as the citizen already had [emphasis added].” —Minor v. Happersett, 1874.
In fact, the Court’s clarification of 14A reflects the official clarification of 14A by John Bingham, Bingham the main author of Section 1 of 14A where the EPC is found.
“Mr. Speaker, this House may safely follow the example of the makers of the Constitution and the builders of the Republic, by passing laws for enforcing all the privileges and immunities of the United States as guaranteed by the amended Constitution and expressly enumerated in the Constitution [emphasis added].” — Congressional Globe, House of Representatives, 42nd Congress, 1st Session. (See lower half of third column.)
So since the states have never amended the Constitution to expressly protect either abortion or gay marriage, activist justices and judges actually have no constitutionally enumerated gay marriage or abortion rights to apply to the states via 14A.
Therefore, the states are actually free to make laws which discriminate against constitutionally unprotected abortion and gay marriage imo, as long as such laws don’t also unreasonably abridge constitutionally enumerated rights.
Sadly, it is only because we haven’t been teaching our children the Constitution, particularly 10th Amendment-protected state powers versus constitutionally express personal rights, the absence of such rights in the case of abortion and gay marriage, that our corrupt judicial system has been able to get away with amending new rights to the Constitution from the bench.
well, you know what I’m talking about. Redstates have morality . . IN blue states you could always marry your farm animals!
No, there are some really big indicators this time. Oil crash being the key one. Economies do not expand forever.
I see the SCOTUS determining that marriage is entirely a States issue with no Federal involvement on both items. There is no basis for Federal involvement in marriage. 5/4 on both.
This would reverse all decisions made by Federal courts.
Romans 1:..
22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools.. 25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy.
Note also that Romans 1:32 points out that those who approve of such conduct are just as guilty as those who engage in it.
Which sex???
They might even try it before they decide.
Yes, states should cease to recognize or register marriages (period).
If you sit and think about it,
why is government (at any level) involved with marriage, anyway?
I need to go to the range...
I am 100% with you and like I have been saying the sooner the better.
Which sex???
++++
Undetermined.
This is just the beginning. Gay marriage is gone — done deal. It’s what’s next that frightens me. NAMBLA? The liberals will seize upon the victory of gay marriage to plot and scheme other crap they can condition to public to accept.
When they pass this, watch for God to really unload on the U.S. In His judgment.
