It’s just a matter of time now, before the SUPREME Court takes up the issue of same sex marriage again.

Since last year’s rulings on the subject, numerous states have been sued in..federal court over their marriage laws. I think every single decision has been that states must allow homosexual marriage. THE lower federal courts are deciding that there is a constitutional right to same sex marriage, even though the Supreme Court last year side stepped that precise legal issue.

It is just outrageous that a federal judge can usurp what has been a state-by-state battle for gay marriage. Does this mean that the feds can take over any law making and writing when they disagree with state’s rights?

This ruling is a direct challenge to the part of the Defense of Marriage Act which says that states don’t have to recognize each others’ same sex marriages.

“It’s just a matter of time now, before the SUPREME Court takes up the issue of same sex marriage again.”

Yep. And that will be the final blow.

Jut remember that Roberts used to do pro bono work in favor of gay rights.

The warning signs were all there for everyone to see...

Yes, it means that only federal judges are allowed to define marriage, in this politically correct world we live in. Yes, federal judges can overturn any laws which violate political correctness.

As we see, it doesn’t matter what state laws say about marriage, or even what federal laws say about marriage. Liberal judges have decided that we should have nationwide homosexual marriage. Unless overturned by the Supreme Court, we will soon have 50 state homosexual marriage, and states will not be allowed to set their own laws regarding marriage and family law. That’s where we are headed..

"...list both spouses in each relationship as parents on their children's birth certificates"

Are men now able to have babies from their rear ends or something?

RE: This ruling is a direct challenge to the part of the Defense of Marriage Act

The Obama administration has all but scuttled this law.

Just look at what happened after Obummer became President...

* The Obama administration announced in 2011 that it had concluded Section 3 was unconstitutional and that although the administration would continue to enforce the law while it existed, it would no longer defend the law in court.

* In United States v. Windsor (2013), the U.S. Supreme Court declared Section 3 of DOMA unconstitutional under the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment.

DOMA has in effect — NO TEETH.

Just in case anybody is wondering.

15 days after the Ypsilanti Michigan “hate crime” attack on the lesbian woman there is still nothing in the news about arrests or suspects. I check daily.

"...final blow..." Should that word be used in discussing this?

What’s worse, an activist judge who wrongly legislates constitutionally unprotected gay “rights” from the bench, or Constitution-ignorant elected state “leaders” and the citizens who elected them who have evidently never been taught that the states have never amended the Constitution to expressly protect so-called gay rights?

I just assumed that the alleged attack on the “lesbian” was a hoax. There have been so many hoaxes of alleged attacks against politically correct grievance groups, that I just assume they are hoaxes.

What does it say about these groups such as homosexuals or blacks, who perpetrate hoaxes, to try to show hatred which doesn’t exist?

What does it say about allegedly hateful conservatives, who are not actually perpetrating these hate crimes?

Ironic when "State's rights" was the argument AGAINST a constitutional marriage amendment ten years ago!

The liberals will change the criteria to whatever best helps their position at the time.

Years ago, they were in favor of states rights for marriage, because they didn’t want a constitutional aamendment imposing only opposite sex marriage on the country.

But today, they are against states rights because they want federal judges to impose same sex marriage on the whole country.

Liberals have no consistent positions or values, as far as procedures, processes.

I call those the only true hate crimes. A false crime is created with the express intent of blaming another group for no other reason than for political leverage. It should be a serious felony.

Somebody is definitely pulling something from that orifice.

That is the fact, and it is why we need conservatives at every level of government, from city government, to county, state, and federal, in party leadership, and conservative positions in the party platform.
