ASHEVILLE, N.C. — Federal U.S. District Court Judge Max O. Cogburn Jr. has overturned North Carolina’s ban on same-sex marriage.
The case was filed by members of the clergy seeking to marry gay couples.
...
Senate leader Phil Berger and House Speaker Thom Tillis issued the following statement following the ban being overturned:
While we recognize the tremendous passion on all sides of this issue, we promised to defend the will of North Carolina voters because they – not judges and not politicians – define marriage as between one man and one woman and placed that in our state constitution. It is disappointing this decision was made without North Carolina’s law receiving its day in court, and we will continue to work to ensure the voice of the voters is heard.

In the defense of the NC GOP, unlike Wisconsin, the Republicans have stood strong in the face of judicial tyranny. However, with the national GOP largely silent, social conservatives are once again deprived of a voice in our government. When do we say ENOUGH?!
Has anyone started second or third spouse shopping yet?
Welcome to Assville.
There aren’t enough of us. The libs have first and goal from the one... The Cloward/Priven strategy is now a conservative’s best hope.
Fabulous!
It’s not marriage. It’s state sanctioned sodomy!
Some, from reports, have been children shopping. Image goat shopping is about to begin, in the South, also.
Wrong. God defined marriage.
Yeah, “historic”. I used to love history. Especially AMERICAN history. Ever since the Kenyan rose to power, “history” in America has really sucked. “Historic” homosexual “marriage”. The “historic” Ebola “patient 0”.
Let it be set in stone. The states are no longer entities with ANY sovereignty. They have become mere peasant provinces of the federal leviathan. The states are not going to save this nation. The nation is dead
Senator Jesse Helms, a true Patriot (RIP), would have never allowed this abomination!
In an odd way Obama is finishing what Lincoln began... Sad.
We’ll just purge those fraudulent marriage certificates someday.
It’s actually not “legal” in NC.
What has happened is that the State has been enjoined from enforcing its law.
NOW! And that’s why I’m proud to be a member of the NC GOP, and my state. On the other hand Federal Judges that do not believe in the rule of law, nor God’s word will ultimately be judged by God, and it won’t be a pretty day (for them)!
Another day, another state forced to accommodate homosexual marriage by federal court order...,..........
Everywhere there are lesbians
The Tattoed Lesbians of Asheville!
Seriously, Asheville is a hoot. Everywhere are women that hulk around , look exactly like younger versions of Janet Reno. Tatts all over necks and arms, hideous jewelry, unbathed …
I guess Asheville is happy today. There'll be a party at Malaprop's.
I would like a list of the judicial tyrants in all of the states that have forced this upon us against our will.
Someday, I’d like to think there will be an accounting. Name by name, judge by judge.
I put out an ad:
Seeking wealthy, fun loving, good looking, hard body woman that can mow my yards, care for my animals, paint my house and work on my tractor.
I got one call....it was my wife.
