Shockingly, as I look into the ruling I am actually finding myself agreeing with the court — this is a STATE issue not a Federal one.
The Fed Gov should not be involved one way or the other, it should be for each state to decide - and this and the Prop 8 punt both send that message. States can decide whether they are for or against gay marraige and whether to give benefits.

Im just glad it wasnt legalized nationwide, THAT wouldve been messy. It effective was. And it's going to REALLY get messy.
Now, these fake "Marriages" are going to be exportable, as a couple "marries" in Iowa and then moves to Texas. They will be recognized as "married" for federal purposes, and as many conditions as the federal government has in funding for state programs, this status will be capitalized upon to the max.

This is one time it might have been nice if Kennedy relied on international law to interpret the US Constiturion
Like maybe homosexual relationship law in Iran or Zimbabwe

Was the 5th vote Kennedy or Roberts?
Seems like you are saying it was definitely Kennedy?

"Personally I would ditch the federal definition of marriage (leave it up to the church) and cut the marriage related federal benefits down to a handful from some 1500." IF they had cut the monetary goodies for being married from the Federal Government BEFORE this decision the issue would have dried up and been moot.
Instead the Right served up a nice slow hanging curve ball Named DOMA and the Gayberts crushed it and sent it out of the stadium.
Bottom Line, GAY Marriage is now enshrined into the DNA of the Fed Gov forever.
Marriage is now regulated by the Federal Government.
Well done Conservatives you just made Government EVEN BIGGER!

So, when it comes time for a same sex couple to file for social security benefits, will only one will get full amount while “spouse” will receive half? If not married, both would get full benefit. Just ask’in...

He was only Reagan’s THIRD choice!
Teddy Kennedy kept his first choice off the court!

Good. The messier the better. Means more people get POs instead of just going along.
To: Norm Lenhart
I appreciate the offer Norm, but I was being (figuratively) tongue-in-cheek. I prefer to take my chances with the God of the Bible and not risk eternal damnation with sodomy.

Yes but why would Scalia be against the STATE deciding? And the state DID decide in prop 8 and it sounds like they’re saying the ruling made to over turn prop 8 stands?
To: The Sons of Liberty
The local radio outlet for one of the conservative talkies I monitor uses ABC Radio news. They have a Yale Prof, a remote in San Fransisco, all gushing over first reports the only thing missing is camp follower Anne Compton with a dramatic reading.

How Satanic of a decision can you get ?
This is what we get when we FAIL to OBEY God.
For
it is written:
For whosoever shall commit ANY of these abominations,even the SOULS that commit themSHALL BE CUT OFF from among their people.
Those who support homosexuals are
against our Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ.
These anti Christ people only bring destruction on us ALL.
I have
NO sympathy for homosexuals!
Homosexuality is a
"Mark" of disobedience.
Someone once asked"Why are they [homosexuals] all so angry?"
The answer is in the definition of "
REPROBATE".
rep·ro·bate \ˈre-prə-ˌbāt\ a. [L. reprobatus, reprobo, to disallow; re and probo, to prove.]
- 1. Not enduring proof or trial; not of standard purity or fineness; disallowed; rejected.
-
Reprobate silver shall men call them, because the Lord hath rejected them. Jer. 6.
- 2. Abandoned in sin; lost to virtue or grace.
-
They profess that they know God, but in works deny him, being abominable and disobedient, and to every good work reprobate. Titus 1.
- 3. Abandoned to error, or in apostasy. 2Tim. 3.
And the reason
"why" is
given in the Bible.
God has
a cure for homosexuals.
But will we OBEY our Heavenly Father?

His dissent is withering, and is excellent reading—worth seeking the pdf of the decision.
But the libs won again.

Exactly. This ruling sets up a supporting ruling on Prop 8.
Either sates have rights or they don’t. Conservative can’t argue states rights on Obamacare and then argue for Federal Control on marriage because it suits their cause.
To: Mr Rogers
Thank you. I forgot Breyer. Shame on us. Shame.
