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.

What stuns me is how liberals keep claiming victory on this issue even though they actually lost it. A majority of states actually addressed the issue and passed amendments and/or laws against it. But the libs kept up the lawsuits while stacking the courts with liberals. Now they and their judicial pals usually announce victory with the claim that public opinion is on their side.
How cool is that? Lose an issue and then claim victory anyway. Conduct a poll (loaded in your favor of course) if you need data. But no matter how spectacularly you lose, CLAIM VICTORY.
Oh, and they also benefit from their shifting principles. They tout states rights when they need to start the avalanche with one state (and put an end to federal amendment talk). Then they get their liberal federal judges to override the other states.
Wow! I think this is why SCOTUS didn’t rule on those SSM bans, because if they did, they’d have to rule them legal. This way, it’ll be legal in 50 states before they rule state SSM bans are legal. They assume states won’t return to the ban of immoral mating pairing.

You said you were willing to move to the middle on the two social issues, I said there was no middle. Babies are alive until they are killed in an abortion, there is no middle for them. Dead is dead.
When Bonnie and Clyde, the Faye Dunaway version came out some 40 years ago, I went to see it, coming out of the movie I overheard a young guy say, "Makes me want to go out and kill a cop." Any doubt I had of the power of propaganda was quashed after that experience. I think that was in Joplin Missouri or Pittsburgh Kansas hard to remember now.
