Indeed. An important take-away from today’s decision on Prop 8 - Elections Have Consequences!
Seems to me that if the people of a state vote for an issue, the state has an obligation to defend that decision,, and it ought to be added to each states laws
Alright, let me ask you this: is there any area of life that the government should not control?
“That’s exactly right. God created the first man and woman for each other and united them as one flesh. Man....and woman. “
That was before some guy built a huge wooden boat with two of every insect, microbe, bird, lizard and mammal on it right?
LOL, I have to say, it is fun watching people who sit here and scream about how government is too much in their lives with things like Obamacare and taxes scream about how that very same government should be involved in something so personal as relationships.
Talk about hypocrisy. This is why the party is losing and will continue to lose. No consistent message.
I see now what I must do in the next election. After I fill out my ballot instead of returning it to the polling place I must send it to the 9th Circuit federal court so they can correct any of my votes they deem are "wrong" before my votes are counted.
“I see nothing in the Constitution that defines marriage.”
IX: The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
X: 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.
Apparently so.
Convenient? No. Hassle? Yes. Better than getting the Lunk Headed Federal Government involved? ABSOLUTELY.
“I dont often post here so I had no idea you were the new troll.”
I guess some of us have been here just a tad longer than 2009..
Amazing stuff, how in the world did you end up at freerepublic with such leftist views?
Yeah, I see where you're coming from. It's the root of your problem.
Yep. Apparently, we, the voters, did not have standing?
Is that right?
Oh, that is rich. Keep your deities to yourself please.
No. I have a God-given, unalienable right to invoke Almighty God whenever I please, thanks.
You are trying to EXERCISE your religion on everyone else, which is explicitly forbidden in the Constitution.
Legislating according to the laws of nature is not forcing religion on anyone. It's simply acting according to reality.
If anyone is a "sky pixie" it's you. You're living in an imaginary world.
Well worth a re-post....our country has lost all it’s sense of goodness, justice and morality...it’s not America any longer...it’s “something else”...and more than fallen.
“Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect
that God is just,......that his justice cannot sleep forever.”
I have news for you, there are many people on the right who do not believe in your God.
That hurts so much. How can you be so mean?
“Legislating according to the laws of nature is not forcing religion on anyone. It’s simply acting according to reality. “
Where are these laws, I would like to read them so I understand. Oh, that’s right, you make them up as you go along.
The State of California refused to defend it, therefore the plaintiffs had no standing.
Satan, is that you?
