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.

Get ready to have sodomy shoved down your throat, too, churches and businesses....you will take it. And like it, thus sayeth the Almighty Government.
"Now its time for all same sex partners to sit on the front pews of the temple. Enjoy the publicly supported churches while hold hands with those you love, worship, and marry under the God who gave you life. Tax exemption is a privilege reserved only for institutions who obey the laws of equality."
Well the only good in this is that the racist liberal judge likening this to interracial marriage will get the dander up from some black pastors...not enough to cost 0bama and his commie buddies votes, but it will cause some bad press.
Comparing this to interracial marriage really pisses me off!! Racist liberals...
And it’s sure that the commenter laying claim to “equality” to do wickedness denies equal protection to the unborn for their God-given right to live.
Might be time to rethink Marbury vs. Madison.
I’m thoroughly convinced that voting doesn’t mean jack sh!t any more.
These so called “judges” need to be hanged for tyranny.
A George W Bush appointment
Can the judge not read the First Amendment?
The rule of law is dead, the Constitution is dead, and the basis for voting is dead. We don’t even have an “opposition party” out there rallying against all this. Downbeat? Yes, I am. But that’s what this whole situation is proving, right before our very eyes.
Not sure what choice the judge had in this after SCOTUS didn’t hear the appeal of the Ninth Circus.
The only place left for the battle and a chance of a SCOTUS hearing are the 11th and 5th Circuits. Otherwise, it’s not looking good.
For whatever reason, it has now become a mainstream opinion among judges, even those appointed by Republican presidents, that it is discriminatory not to allow homosexual marriage.
This is in spite of the fact that this whole area of “sexual identity” and “sexual orientation” is NOT a protected class under federal civil rights laws.
The judges have decided that homosexuality SHOULD BE a protected class, and issue ruling such as this based on the idea that homosexuality is a protected class.
Since homosexuality is not a protected class, civil rights laws and the 14th amendment should not apply. But according to judges, they have decided that they will rule for homosexual marriage in spite of what the laws and constitution actually say.
Ya mean like "union of a man and a woman" as defined from time immemorial ?
¿Que?
Article 3, section 2
In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction.
Tell the “Inferior” Court to GO POUND SAND. If the Inferior Judge squawks, ARREST HIM for Usurping the Authority of the State.
FORCE THE ISSUE
The Supreme Court decision where the court decided that Judges could invalidate laws.
Ah. Ok. Danke.
Wish that were so, but the truth is that only a tiny handful of black pastors are not worshippers of Obama.
Inherent, indeed! This is a joke the liberal elites are playing on us. If we will buy this, we will buy absolutely anything. Maybe concentration camps will be their next gift.
It is an error to hope any mortal party can beat this sweep of wickedness. It is the vote in the individual heart for the Lord that is what invites a return to holiness, and it will happen independent of what a government may try to do. BTW, canvassing for such votes has a name: evangelism.
typical lefty judge- must refer to race when the issue has nothing to do with race. And to add to that idiot comparison, interracial marriage had to deal with heterosexual couples. Heterosexual couples of different races have been marrying for ages while homosexual marriage is a totally new phenomenon.
