THIS is why Indiana is trying to put in in our State Constitution.

The law is already there, just needing affirmation of the voters.

From the comment sections of the news media websites in the state, you’d think that Hoosiers are 90% gay. They are scared sh!tless about this one getting to the voters.

It is part of California's constitution, but the court ruled our constitution to be unconstitutional.

Go Indiana! This is the only time I will root for your state since it got rid of Bobby Knight, your ambassador of good will.

Putting it in the Constitution of the state won’t mean a thing....that is what happened in California.....And it was ripped out by federal judges AND state officials who refused to enforce the law. The people were LITERALLY ignored.

They dropped it. It is not happening. Just happened yesterday.

It won’t matter. They will find the amendment to your state constitution federally unconstitutional. They have already done it elsewhere.

There is no way out. This is leftist tyranny. We let them stack the judgeships for years, and now they are overwhelming the people.

Notice that they do this soon after they win the Governorship and AG. They govern against the will of the people, because they know that they can get away with it. Just like Obama.

Elections have consequences. But more fundamentally, rampant, unrepentant, rebellion against God has consequences.

The court didn’t strike down a law in VA. They struck down an amendment to our state Constitution that was passed with a very large margin.
