Begone, shouts of "too late." We can do anything if enough support is demonstrated, and quickly.
The defeatist attitude I see from conservatives on this issue is truly disheartening. I don’t think we can truly make America great again without the solid foundation of marriage. The damage this decision caused can be felt everywhere.
In 2022, Congress passed the Respect for Marriage Act, which legalized same sex marriage in federal law.
If the Supreme Court overturned its decision on same sex marriage, it would mean that there’s no constitutional right for same sex marriage. But that federal law would still be there. Same sex marriage would still be legal in this country because of that federal law.
Let me say 1) it’s a sin and 2) it’s a religious matter and I firmly disagree with same sex marriage.
However....the 10th amendment has been abused beyond believe in my mind on a lot of things and I think it applies here as well.
“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”
Everyone assumes that means that it should automatically resolve to the States and I disagree I think it should resolve to the people and then they can decide for themselves if they will be sinners.
That doesn’t mean, of course, that the States have to recognize it.
I’m not happy with the States stepping in and assuming they get to decide they have the power vs the people all the time.
I do not care what a government of human beings define as marriage. I do know what my God has ordained. That is all that matters to me.
Government needs revenue. Hence, the marriage penalty and before long, marriage with a beast will be promoted. After all, government needs revenue and will destroy society, if needed, for revenue.
100% with you. This insane ruling has opened the floodgates to all the current abuses esp is women and children as per usual.
Like the 19th amendment the decision was catastrophic but inevitable We are stuck with both.
SCOTUS has got to go. It won’t work with four females on the bench. That’s way too much idiocy. Look at the mess all the skanks are making in the “district” courts. Geez. The RATs want to expand the Supremacist Court bozos. We need to cull the herd if you ask me.
What is interesting is that the Supreme Court ruled that marriage is a federal issue but yet I’ll bet if the Supreme Court later bans all same-sex marriages-the same liberals would reverse course and say that marriage is a state issue
even if Obergefell v. Hodges gets overturned, would SCOTUS also have to re-look at DOMA?
- Defense of Marriage Act - which denied federal recognition to same-sex marriages and allowed states to refuse to recognize such marriages performed in other states. It was ruled unconstitutional
The problem is what does the “to promote the general welfare” clause mean? Promoting good heterosexual marriage certainly falls under this. Much of current legislation does NOT help. From SS marriage to pro-homosexual education to tax laws to no-fault divorce, marriage has been under assault for over a hundred years. Now, Elon pointed out the other day, that we have unsustainable birth rates. Can Christianity rise to the challenge?
Obergefell should be overturned and the decisions left to the states, the same as for Roe v Wade - because there’s nothing in the Constitution about either one of them.
And why is there nothing in the Constitution about either one of them you ask. Because in those days it was pretty much unthinkable for a woman to want to kill her baby and unthinkable for a man to want to marry another man.
ginsburg said roe v wade was weak sauce
Thomas has pointed out that obergefell is made from same weak sauce
i would welcome a reversal obergefell
if only to distract the gay lobby from the trans movement
the trans movement took off
once gay marriage is settled
Overturning Obergefell v. Hodge would put same-sex marriage in the same legal situation as abortion. Some states forbid it and some allow it. The difference is that states are constitutionally required to recognize the ‘official acts’ of other states. Gays in MO could simply go to IL, get married and their marriage would have to be recognized by MO.
That was the problem in the years leading up to Obergefell v. Hodge. It only would take one state to legalize it (Hawaii?) before it would be imposed on all states. Congress did pass a law saying that marriage was restricted to only one man and one woman, but there is no way it would have survived court challenge.
Sorry, but the ship has sailed. There are lots of other ships that need to be stopped.
Marriage is not found in the Constitution, therefore it is a state by state issue. The Supreme Court had zero authority to rule one way or another on it. The federal government has zero authority to legislate one way or another on it. Only by passing an amendment to the Constitution can the issue of what constitutes “marriage” be taken from the states. We have a Constitution that protects us all. FORCE them to obey it.
The error of the court in those decisions is that it did not “find”, in the Constitution, that a requirment that same-sex exists, it invented one; it wrote an amendment to the Constitution via judicial fiat.
I definitely fully support the overturning of Obergefelll.
How the hell did government ever get involved in the tenet of “marriage” at all?
Who do they think they are...God?
America cannot be great as long as evil is legalized here.
