U.S. District Court Judge Tim Burgess issued a summary judgment in favor of plaintiffs arguing that Alaska's same-sex marriage ban is unconstitutional, days after their case began to be heard in court.
In his decision for Matthew Hamby and Christopher Shelden, Burgess found that previous Supreme Court decisions have shown that “rights not explicitly mentioned in the Bill of Rights can be protected by substantive due process.” He likened his decision to a ruling by the high court allowing interracial marriage, in which justices relied on inherent characteristics of marriage to allow interracial unions instead of decreeing them to be the law of the land.

Part of the problem is that once-holy matrimony had become a mockery well before anyone entertained the idea of what today is called “gay marriage.”
Those arguing for equality were able to point out that their shell is as good as a heterosexual shell for all intents and purposes.
This is what happens when you try to give high minded principles to savages.
Not a very savory set of circumstances for this, unfortunately (it was the Cherokee Trail of Tears). So that meme never did get much traction.
He can. But what amoral idiot cares what God, the Founders, or the People say? Especially when money is on the line? Certainly not that one.

Indeed. The gays who now claim to want to marry convinced heterosexuals that marriage is nothing but a piece of paper and shacking up is no different than marriage then they encouraged easy heterosexual divorce.
The Sixth Circuit is expected to rule on its case shortly. Oral arguments have yet to occur in the Fifth and Eleventh Circuits. The Eighth Circuit doesn’t even have a District Court decision to rule on. The question is whether any two conservative judges on those panels want to be the ones to force the Supreme Court to nationalize gay marriage. Even a strong social conservative might hesitate — in part because the Circuit decisions are so disparate in their reasoning that there really is no clear rule of law that can be extracted from them to compel even more departure from traditional social mores, but a Supreme Court decision coraling them will produce such a rule.
FIGHT!
The Torah commands “Honor your Mother and Father.” This does not mean our direct parents only, but the very form of male/female bonding that brings forth life. It is the G-d given relationship of husband and wife that is to be honored. This is righteous sexuality. Deviant sexuality is not to be honored. It is an abomination and it will bring death and destruction on its practitioners and any society that coddles it. Legitimizing it is de facto rejection of Torah and by extension G-d himself. Judgement, like some huge dark beast is coming as sure as night follows day. None will escape. Repent.
If one of these circuits does not rule contra, gay marriage will become the law of the land anyway. The gay-rights mafia is bringing cases in all 50 states at this point.
It’s sickening to me how it is becoming law not by legislative action on part of the states, but by judicial fiat instead. Striking down state Constitutional amendments duly enacted by the people of these states is maddening.
I keep thinking part of SCOTUS is hoping that the bans will all be overturned & homosexuals will all get married before SCOTUS ever rules that state bans on homosexual ‘marriages’ are constitutional. By then, they figure, it’ll be too late to turn the clock back.
What I don’t understand is why homosexuals didn’t accept civil unions instead of demanding marriage. They’d have gotten all the rights they aspire for. I think they’re just trying to destroy religion, since, right now, it’s the only thing saying homosexuality is wrong.
interracial marriage was an issue about producing children.
Homosexual behavior contributes NOTHING to society. No children, no future, nothing.
The fix is with the federal judges who have colluded as to a group think for this outcome.
The uneducated of law school end up as judges. (education not to be confused with grades)
In order to prevent fraud, ensure paternity, and inheritance rights we have public recording of marriages.
In all states the officiant (whatever religion or official capacity) is a notary public. It is the notarial capacity the state has always recognized NOT the particular religion.
Striking down homosexual sex based marriage (which contributes NOTHING to society) would only put them in the same position as when common law marriages became outlawed in 43 states. I expect more states will out law common law marriage now.
Any person can perform an unofficial “marriage.” Until and unless it is actually signed and sealed by the notarial requirements it is meaningless no matter how “religious.”
Please encourage your fellow devout Jews to vote (for conservatives that will take the Senate away from Harry Reid and Obama-since they’ve appointed most of these clowns), and any Christians you know as well!
