"Oh, no, it's here to stay," said the president. "Understand that the Supreme Court has ruled that under the Constitution everybody in all 50 states has the right to marry the person they love. That's now the law of the land. The fact that an Alabama judge is resisting is just a temporary gesture by this judge that will be rapidly overturned. It violates what's called the supremacy clause - when the Constitution speaks, everybody has to abide by it, and state laws, and state judges, can't overturn it. So you shouldn't be worried about that."

This is the same thing that totalitarians used to say about slavery and segregation.

‘President Obama says that marriage’s redefinition “is here to stay”’.

At least he admits it IS a redefinition.......what word will be next? Murder? Pedophile? The slippery slope is here. Now.

Thank you for referencing that article wagglebee. Please bear in mind that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

Noting that the state have never amended the Constitution to expressly protect LGBT issues like gay ”marriage,” please consider the following.

Given that Congress has always had constitutional authority to stop lawless Obama dead in his tracks but has stubbornly refused to do so, Congresss silence concerning Obamas gay ”marriage” statement means that corrupt Congress condones the idea that gay ”marriage” is here to stay imo.

And the reason that Congress is letting Obama call the shots concerning gay ”marriange” is that corrupt lawmakers want to keep their voting records clean in order to fool low-information voters into reelecting them. Congress probably does not want such voters to understand that Congress has no constitutional authority to legislatively address LGBT issues.

In other words, corrupt Congress is letting Obama do its unconstitutional legislative work for it.

Remember in November !

So if patriots elect Trump, or whatever conservative they elect, they will also need to elect a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will work within its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers to support the president while protecting 10th Amendment-protected state sovereignty.

In fact, note that such a Congress will also probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.

When 5 out of 9 Supreme Court Justices can rewrite the Constitution to say whatever the hell that they want it to say then a different 5 out of 9 Supreme Court Justices can always rewrite it to say the exact opposite.

Four of the current Supreme Court Justices will be over 80 years old next year. Whoever replaces them will determine what the Constitution says for the next 30 years.

I suspect that in the mind of Obama, he is the wonderful
Abraham Lincoln of this era; just the guy to put those
pesky Jews in their place, to give EVERYONE their “rights”,
to squelch us “Christians” and remove our “rights”, to
elevate Muslims, reform those “unfair” prisons that have
“persecuted” his black brethren and deprived them of their
“right” to stampede, kill, steal and destroy. Delusions on
a grand scale.

They also said, at one time, slavery was here to stay. And, prohibition. And, only male voters.

Nothing is permanent in a "living Constitution", eh Barry Soetero?
