It's impossible to overestimate the damage that will be done to our constitutional republic if Justice Anthony Kennedy imposes homosexual marriage on the entire nation in blatant defiance of the express will of the people.
The Supreme Court agreed on Friday to decide the issue of whether states can be compelled, against the will of the people and their elected representatives, to accept sodomy-based marriage.
Voters in 31 states went to the polls to enshrine natural marriage in their state constitutions. The legislatures in another 13 states passed laws expressly forbidding recognition of homosexual marriages.
While legislatures in a small number of states have legalized same-sex marriage in their jurisdictions, only 4.5 percent of the American people live in states where the people themselves, at the ballot box, have endorsed marriages based on the infamous crime against nature.
The rest of the 36 states where homosexuals can now get married have had same-sex marriage imposed on them by activist judges who have callously disenfranchised the 48 million people who voted for natural marriage at the ballot box.
Given the 4-4 ideological divide on the nine-member Supreme Court, the issue now will be decided by one black-robed activist, Anthony Kennedy, who has written the most rabidly pro-homosexual opinions in the Court's history.
What is particularly terrible about all this is that Kennedy doesn't have to answer to anybody for his decision. This is absolutely and tragically un-American.
This is a constitutional and democratic travesty. This is not how the republic created by the Founders was designed to settle important matters of public policy. The first words in the Constitution, after all, are not "We the Unelected, Unaccountable, Tyrannical Judges."
The Constitution is utterly silent on the subject of marriage. This means, according to the Constitution the Founders crafted, the issue is reserved by the 9th and 10th Amendments exclusively and entirely to the States.
There's no use appealing to the 14th Amendment, because it doesn't say anything about marriage either. The 14th Amendment cannot possibly be used to justify homosexual marriages since homosexual conduct was a crime in every state in the Union at the time it was passed.
It is impossible to overestimate the damage that will be done to our constitutional republic if Justice Kennedy imposes homosexual marriage on the entire nation in blatant defiance of the express will of the people.
If all important decisions are to be made by what amounts to a supreme council of judicial mullahs, and ordinary citizens and their elected representatives have no say in such matters, then, as Abraham Lincoln put it, "the people will have ceased to be their own rulers."
What is left of the Founders' Constitution will have been ripped to shreds and left lying in tattered pieces on the floor of the Supreme Court, destroyed by those who are supposed to be its guardians.
Or to alter the metaphor, Justice Kennedy will have wielded his gavel like a sledgehammer, pulverizing into little tiny shards the little bit that is left of our constitutional foundation. And regardless of the decision Kennedy makes, the mere fact that one man is even in a position to do this is a tragedy all of its own.
May God have mercy on the United States.
Just look at the picture of Ginsburg, asleep on her feet! The majority of this court is so damned corrupted that nothing would surprise any of us that gets regurgitated out of this non-deliberative body. It simply doesn't apply the logical Constitution to repulsive illogic of perverts getting married. The next thing we know the government will spend billions to see how male bodies could be re-plumbed in order that they could bear children.
If the Supreme Court is so sure that previous laws and traditions are of no value, then perhaps they could be replaced and our entire corrupted courts system could be revamped.
This has played out exactly like abortion, contraception and many other social issues.
States and voters have not moved - yet the left, using the courts, slowly and steadily grind away at established practice.
I guess we will learn the lessons of State’s Rights all over again.
I doubt we go to war, but certainly the necessity for States at all will be usurped.
I live in Massachusetts, what is this thing you call “vote”?
Considering that, statistically speaking, no one wants homo marriage in the U.S., maybe the constitutional republic will be done a favor if Kennedy does as expected. Maybe in a core of states, the legislature and governor will pass a resolution citing the exclusive authority of the States over marriage, and instructing the state attorney general to ignore the USSC's ruling on this matter.
The following morning, the sun will rise on schedule.
This is a collision that needs to occur, since USSC over-reach began in earnest in the mid-20th century with the fanciful "incorporation doctrine"—a doctrine specifically outlawed in advance by Article 10. Perhaps the "streamlining" of USSC fiats should begin here, now.
Sorry! I meant to say, "by the 10th Amendment."
1) Enact an amendment to the Constitution to define marriage as between one man and one (non-blood-related) woman;
2) Engage in active civil disobedience on a mass scale. Refuse to recognize the right of a secular court to override the laws of God;
3) Engage in violent suppression of a government that has broken the social contract and negated the will of the people who empower it.
I can see where 2 might lead to 3. But the choice the Court must make is between religious rights as enshrined in the First Amendment, and the fabricated rights of citizens to demand endorsement of deviant acts repugnant to the vast majority of society.
Voters CAN appeal to the 14th amendment; their rights as voters have been nullified....so their equal protection rights have been violated.
In Florida, 71% of black voters said YES to the Constitutional amendment defining marriage in the natural way. Do you know what? The media NEVER TALKS about the will of the black voters being disenfranchised.
“the mere fact that one man is even in a position to do this is a tragedy all of its own.”
Damage already done: Roberts’ logic twisting Obamacare ruling.
But the most telling fact is that states can or will no longer successfully challenge the Federal government. The 9th and 10th amendments were critical to just about every man who voted to ratify the Constitution in the 13 states. Read “Original Intentions” by Bradford. Rule by Federal oligarchy is almost entirely established now.
Maybe Texas? Would Abbott tell the Court that the Constitution does not give them the authority to impose deviant marriage on Texas?
Protestants make up just over 50% of America nowadays, but there is not a single non-Catholic Christian on the Court.
Jews are 1.7% of the American populace. Yet, they are 33.3% of the Court.
Does anyone think that Pope Frank will ex-communicate the idiot Anthony Kennedy when he votes for deviant marriage? Well, who is he to judge?
