Whatever.
It will be like in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah.
Appeal it.
Hurrah! More judge-made law!
Who’s the first state to get out of the marriage business. No more marriage licenses. Problem solved.
It’s way past time for an uprising.
FYI, this decision will also almost certainly legalize gay marriage in Alaska, Arizona, Montana, Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands because they are within the 9th circuit’s jurisdiction.
Genesis 19 applies.
And, after yesterday’s decision, I’d guess this ruling (unlike previous Circuit court rulings) won’t be stayed pending further appeals....
The legal basis of denial is too thin.
But, I am convinced it IS possible to propose and ratify a Constitutional Amendment via Article V and bypass even the cowardly Congress.
Just as African citizens are unthinkingly helping to spread ebola as a consequence of widespread ignorance of the contageous aspect of the disease on their continent, USA citizens are likewise unable to stop the spreading of lies about the constitutionality of state bans on same-sex marriage as a consequence of widespread ignorance of 10th Amendment-protected state powers versus constitutionally enumerated rights.
As mentioned in related threads, here is why activist judges and justices are wrongly arguing that state bans prohibiting gay marriage are unconstitutional. The states have never amended the Constitution to specifically protect so-called gay “rights,” such as gay marriage. This means two things under the Constitution.
The Founding States had made the 10th Amendment to clarify that the Constitution’s silence about things like marriage means that such issues are uniquely state power issues.
Since the states have never amended the Constitution to expressly protect gay marriage, gay marriage is not a constitutionally protected right.
Also, regardless what the corrupt media wants everybody to think about the Supreme Court's decision concerning DOMA, Section 2 of DOMA is still in effect. Section 2 is reasonably based on Congress's Article IV, Section 1 power, the Full Faith and Credit clause, to regulate the effect of one state's records in the other states, and gives the states the power to ignore gay marriages recognized in other states. But Section 2 is wrongly being ignored by both judges and justices imo.
DOMA Section 2. Powers reserved to the statesNo State, territory, or possession of the United States, or Indian tribe, shall be required to give effect to any public act, record, or judicial proceeding of any other State, territory, possession, or tribe respecting a relationship between persons of the same sex that is treated as a marriage under the laws of such other State, territory, possession, or tribe, or a right or claim arising from such relationship.
So the states are free to make 10th Amendment-protected laws which discriminate against constitutionally unprotected gay “rights,” such as gay marriage imo, as long as such laws don’t unreasonably abridge constitutionally enumerated rights.
Again, God-fearing USA citizens are unable to stop the corrupt courts from destroying the institution of one man, one woman marriage because they don't know how to argue that state bans on gay marriage are based on 10th Amendment-protected state powers versus constitutionally unprotected gay "rights."
We will, I fear, inevitably and in fairly short order wind up with same-sex “marriage” being imposed on a reluctant citizenry from sea to shining sea by our robed tyrants in the judiciary. The only way of blocking this, in my estimation, is through jurisdiction stripping: the Constitution confers on Congress the power to remove federal court jurisdiction from areas not specifically conferred on the federal courts in the founding document. This would effectively relocate jurisdiction over the matter to state courts.
This would, of course, require that conservatives control both houses of Congress, probably by a substantial margin.
It would also require that the occupant of the White House be willing to sign the legislation, unless the Congress could overcome the presidential veto which would certainly be forthcoming from the current TOTUS. (I don’t think Congress enjoys plenary power to determine federal court jurisdiction.)
The People be damned.
Bow down to your robed masters!
Yep the Supreme Court is just a bastion of liberty. >:(
BTW all those were Democrat Pack Courts too!
Looks like they all got the memo. The only way to stop this madness is a full blown revolution or the states seceding. I go with the second but we know neither is going to happen.
We the people’s desires overturned by 3 f’n judges.
When will Karma ever bite these radical judges in the ass (pun intended)?
What if a state simply stopped collecting marriage records, leaving it entirely up to private religious institutions?
government of the judges, by the judges for the judges.
Satan is executing his game plan with clockwork precision.
I used to pray for America. But it’s becoming such a depraved cesspool of evil, I figure I’m getting within whispering distance of now praying for its demise.
If America is bound and determined to embrace such evil, I’m ready to opt for secession. The republic can just die.
