Two at once? They're on a roll. Seems Louisiana was just a temporary speed bump.

THIS NOT A CONSTITUIONAL RESPONSE

The frrickin' JUDGE should be impeached for violating The Constitution !!!

"The discrimination against same-sex couples is irrational, and therefore unconstitutional even if the discrimination is not subjected to heightened scrutiny, which is why we can largely elide the more complex analysis found in more closely balanced equal-protection cases," Judge Richard Posner wrote for a unanimous three-judge panel.

Irrational??? What kind of legal judgment is that?? It's very rational and was considered rational for oh...I don't know...THOUSANDS OF YEARS!

. . . same-sex couples and their children . . .

Sorry, judge, but same-sex couples do not have children, at least not children of their own. What they do have at times are other people's children, kids who have been deprived of either a mother or a father so a couple guys/gals can pretend God made a mistake. For that very reason, what they are doing to those children is pure evil, and our elites have decided to throw rice at it. Next they will demand that all the rest of us do the same or face jail time.

Here is one of the "brilliant insights" of this so-called "conservative":

"Will there be a notion of privacy in the future?"

Posner: "No. I value my privacy as much as anyone. But I think as a social good, a social aspect, I think privacy is greatly overrated because privacy basically means concealment. [...] Privacy is not one of those things that’s deeply ingrained in human nature."

I hope the Occupy movement decides to Occupy Richard Posner's House. Maybe that will get him to change his mind.

Homosexuals should be proud: they have officially destroyed the institution of marriage, long understood to be the union of one man and one woman.

hang on, so the judge stated that they are discriminated against.
Ok so where is his proof?

See they can marry the opposite sex just as we can, therefore we can’t marry the opposite sex like they can’t.

Where the hell is the discrimination, and where is it in the constitution?

Does our side ever argue this point or do they just stand there like dummies because they want to overturn the marriage laws? Will these judges also use the same arguments now for any kind of marriage?

That is another question which needs to be asked to them.

Yet 20 years ago they would have ruled the exact opposite. And it would have a ruling based on hundreds or years of American law. Which means that the these rulings are now political and have nothing to do with law. The courts have become corrupted by design. The courts are the final destroyers of America.

“Irrationality” has no part in this. It is just as easy to use that word to defend against a pro-homosexual marriage law. If a power is left to the states, it’s up to the state’s citizens to determine what is irrational.

Cr@& judges ruling with personal feelings instead of legal reasoning.
