What’s your plan for spousal visas?

“Not shocking. Kennedy is a libertarian, and DOMA infringes on states’ rights in his view. I’m just glad it wasn’t legalized nationwide, THAT would’ve been messy.”

And Roberts is gay and pwned by the left.

“No Roberts was on the right side, it was Anthony “foreign law” Kennedy...”

Ah, Roberts wasn’t “needed” for this decision.

Of course it’s not a state’s right decision. Some here are just trying to make something good come from this horrible decision.

This is a social engineering decision and not a states rights decision.

It is a demonic decision. The Supreme Court has declared that what God calls "good" is evil and what God calls "evil" is good.

Prepare for some Woes.

This Country is clearly headed towards judgment.

Talk of group marriage was much more chic in the 1970s than it is today. Group marriage isn’t simply polygamy (one man with several wives).

Can’t let the secret out the bag too soon. The sex positive proponents want to get their ducks in a row first.

The goal ultimately is to smash monogamy and smash the patriarchy. Feminists and The Weather Underground were quite open about that in the 1970s. Those same libs are still out there pushing the same anti-West agenda items.

Reflect on that when they ask “but how does this hurt YOUR marriage?”

You say, “the state should not get involved in marriage”.

Does this mean you are opposed to the federal government issuing spousal visas to the spouses of American citizens?

The problem the supporters of prop 8 had was that their own elected government officials ( governor, sec of state etc.) refused to defend the law that it’s citizens voted for...and the SCOTUS decided that the individual citizens did not have standing in federal court to argue for a bill that their own state government did not support

in other words the law they voted for was doomed by the people they voted into office

whether the supreme court would overturn a prop 8 like law that WAS supported by the state it was passed in and that government argued the case before the court is a different question... that I’m sure will now arrive at the SCOTUS sooner rather than later

Roberts is completely compromised, IMHO. He leads another shameful and sick decision.

The people’s representatives create a law with a large majority. A federal judge rules against it. The people themselves voted for a constitutional amendment punctuating the original law, again by a large majority. Now more federal judges are turning that over.

We are witnessing two things.

1) The tyranny of specific judiciary members..co-opting the will of the people which is lawfully taken according to the laws of their soveriegn state.
2) The compromising of those same judiciary by a criminal, thugish enterprise in this current administration which is, IMHO, either bribing or coersing them to vote as they direct.

This will end badly for those law breakers and oath breakers. It may take a while yet...but if this continues, we will see a remedy similar to what our founders imposed on the King of england.

I am making a list of states that recognize “gay marriage” and crossing them off my list of places to visit. To hell with ‘em.

Not surprising. It would be illogical to deny benefits when gays are legally married. The fault lies with the original legalization.

I don’t think they’d even need to go that far.

There are already churches out there which are happy to celebrate homosexuality. What you’re going to see is those churches being pushed more and more as the “mainstream” face of Christianity, with churches which object to this or refuse to allow same sex marriages to be conducted on their property being seen increasingly as dinosaurs incapable of “moving on” with a “progressive” society.

Sooner or later you will see Hollywood and television and the rest of the media presenting an America where the mainstream Christian churches are the likes of the Metropolitan Church and other gay-friendly groups, and those who attend older, more traditional churches will be seen as either oldsters who can’t keep up with the rest of us or kooks.

What’s your brilliant plan with spousal visas?

Undoubtedly, this opens up a can of worms for the legislature to deal with. I guess they'll have to deal with it on a state-by-state basis.

Get rid of SS, Medicare, federal pension survivor benefits, etc.? How feasible is that?

This court has delivered in two years some of the most society destroying decisions. First Obamacare being upheld, which imo is ten times worse than what they did today, and of course the Arizona decision on illegals and now this.

And to think we Bush replace a liberal jurist with a so-called conservative and this is what we get.
BTW, this should tell everyone who only care about ABORTION ABORTION ABORTION with SCOTUS nominees to go take a leap.
Roberts was so pro life according to some here back during his confirmation...pffff.
