WASHINGTON (AP) -
The U.S. Supreme Court said Wednesday that same-sex marriages can go ahead in Kansas.
The nation's highest court denied the state's request to prevent gay and lesbian couples from marrying while Kansas fights the issue in court. The state constitution includes a provision banning gay marriage, approved overwhelmingly by voters in 2005.

Good to see our Masters our reshaping our society to fit their ideals.
Too bad we don’t live in a Free Society where the citizenry has the right to make laws that define the world they want.
Oh Wait....
SCROTUS got a long distance call from China?
Predictable but wrong.
Articles 5 and 25 folks. That way lies America.
Once again the Bush bunch - Roberts and A littoral demonstrate what their spines are made of - vanilla pudding.
Thanks again Jorge.
Next up, polyandry and polygamy as valid “marriages.”
There is no argument that can be made for gay “marriage” that cannot also be made for multi-spouse.
“[A]ll men are equally bound by the laws of nature, or to speak more properly, the laws of the Creator.”
— Samuel Adams
And “all men” includes members of the “Supreme” Court.
What was the point of the stay? Just to toy with Kansas?
That’s what’s troubling me about this: why didn’t Roberts and Alito sign-on with the dissent?
I kinda suspected that there was a good chance of Kennedy going totally weak on marriage, but Alito especially surprises me, and Roberts seemed like more of a wimpy toss-up.
It makes me wonder if this “right side of history” b*llsh*t rhetoric is going to pull more than just Kennedy over with the four liberals whenever the court takes-up an appeals case. Not a pleasant prospect.
Time for a Federal Marriage Amendment.
“Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas would have sided with the state and dissented.”
On other words, two of the nine Justices stand for States’ Rights and the American Family.
If it didn’t get done 10 years ago with Bush in office, it’s pretty unlikely now.
Uh....the VOTERS of the STATE approved this for their Constitution, right?
So I guess SCOTUS is out of its league....this is not their jurisdiction.
We have a tenth amendment, guys. Ever heard of it?
States have the right; not the SC.
We can't! Some judge, any judge, any where (district, state or federal) will simply declare it to be unconstitutional and voila! A single lone judge or 2-3 at most, now has the power to decide how to define marriage for 300 million people, irregardless of any state constitutional amendments or even a federal amendment.
We are ruled by a totalitarian dictatorship led by black robed evil tyrants along with 0dumb0sh_t! The Supreme Court refuses to allow any lawsuits to be heard at the USSC, and instead dodge the issue by allowing sodomy marriage to be declared legal in state after state. We desperately need a new CWII or Am Rev II, now more than ever!
These courts need to be burned. Enemies of God and America
No. Back then the left cried “states rights” and said we did not need it because of the federal DOMA, the state DOMAs and state legislation. Now they have been exposed as the liars and trickster they are. We will have a majority in Congress and majorities in state legislatures. Actually this is a PERFECT time.
What’s enraging is that this ass is gone in two years, and we’ll be stuck with his judges - now about 1/3rd of all federal judges. They’ll linger around for decades, like the smell of a deuce hanging around long after the turd has been flushed away. It’ll take years to undo the damage he’s done to our courts.
A Federal Marriage Amendment trumps them all. Do we have the guts to do it? We will get no better opportunity. The left has proven they lied about “states’ rights” on the issue. Judges have proven they will legislate. But an amendment to the U.S. Constitution trumps them all. It is what we should have done to begin with, but the liars could hide, saying we did not need it because of the federal and state DOMA’s and state amendments.
