Presley’s mind has left the building...
The Supreme Court decided to review marriage equality cases this spring. This concerns me because the Fifth Circuit Court, which presides over my home state of Texas, also took up a marriage equality case. However, the Fifth Circuit may refrain from making a decision until the Supreme Court decides......Naturally, you are at liberty to marry any consenting adult your heart desires based on equal protection and due process. There are literally thousands of benefits handed out to married couples that are not available to homosexuals, a blatant violation of equal protection. I would argue giving special treatment to married couples is a violation of equal protection, but I’m just a crazy libertarian that’s all about equality and stuff.
That brain full of mush should do more research. At least one of the couples that is pushing this matter is seeking a DIVORCE, they want the state to recognize their (out of state marriage) for the purpose of separation and dissolution, not love.
Selling the argument based on emotion is a LIE.
Let’s see.....Ted Cruz has argued 9 cases before the Supreme Court, and was called by Alan Dershowitz, famed liberal Harvard lawyer, the smartest student he ever taught.
How do we balance these 2 opinions, hmmmmmm.......?
It is impacting private businesses that are contracted to photograph events (which requires attending the 'offensive' ceremony).
Lawyers are not required to take cases or defend positions they oppose.
It is also impacting the public schools (which have taken up the mantle to indoctrinate children in the "normalcy" of same sex sodomy ("your parents are WRONG that this is a sin, it is not, and it should be celebrated!").
It is also impacting the lives of children who are adopted into same sex households.
So much for the repeated lie that this is just the actions of consenting ADULTS in private. Kids are affected at the school level (where they are even sheltered and applauded for engaging in homosexual activity) as well as at the household level (two parents of the same sex when they may want a NORMAL household arrangement).

I think we’re finally seeing that which was always there.
Sounds like he has spent his life so far navel gazing in isolation from the real world.
I love my mother; she loves me.
Given that situation, young Presley would of course have no objections to our marriage.
States didn’t start issuing licenses (permission from the gov’t) to get married until later in the 1800s. It was a religious institution until then. After people married they registered it or made it public to protect children and property in case of divorce or death.
Ted is talking about this being a “states rights” issue .. and should not be a FEDERAL issue at all.
I agree with him.
I want a harem of at least four wives of different types, so I take it that this Whiz Kid has no objection? Right?
“Wrong” begs the question of a Standard.
By what standard is he wrong and why is that standard “better” than another standard that says he’s right?
Leftist response to this: “kerblbufb blubf blllrbf.... HOMOPHOBE!”

“You are guaranteed you will not be deprived of liberty and the State will treat you equally.”
The queers are treated equally! A queer can marry any woman that will have them, exactly the same as everyone else.
A carpet muncher can marry any man that will have them, just like any other woman can.
Absolutely.
Glenn Beck would probably be okay with you having 4 wives...
I’ve provided sufficient example to counter the “consenting adults in private” and “two people in love” memes he uses. He has not discovered any “truths” himself, he echoes the convenient (but false) talking points of Big Lib.
Actually, no.
It has to be a woman who is not closely related to him, who doesn't have a "loathsome social disease" and who is not already married.
There are already lots of restrictions on marriage; one of them just happens to be that there be exactly one male among the participants.
You think you are going to get us to turn on Cruz with a pro-LGBTQHBFJHT hit piece?
