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.

It still won’t come to pass.
It could. It should. It might.
To just say it won’t is t surrender, or to not want it to.
You could always impeach them....or something.
the supreme court has NO RIGHT to tell states what they can do !!!!
GOOD FREAKING GRIEF!!!!
someone impeach these SOB’s!
It “might” come to pass, in the same sense that I might win Powerball.
There is no requirement for a sexual component to marriage. Once plural marriage is affirmed, the next step will be for wealthy parents to collectively marry their children and grandchildren to end run inheritance issues. This “marriage” meddling will be the end of the death tax.
Are you personally for it or against it? You seem to be against it. Is that why you favor inaction?
In other news today Kansas had an earthquake..
Before all this is over, it looks like America itself will be an enemy of God.
And that’s an America I’ll gladly see dead and buried.
The amendment concept would be futile because too many Republicans would not support it and some who will support it know it has no chance but it makes them look good to be in support.
The Supreme Court will formally legalize gay marriage everywhere within a few years at most.
The battle over gay marriage is lost.
What concerns me more is what’s going on around this debate such as Brendan Eich in the hi-tech industry being forced to sell out of a business because he contributed to the campaign for Proposition 8 in CA.
Heck, a fellow in Sacramento who directed a performing arts center had to leave his job several years ago because he contributed money to support Prop 8.
The various legal cases against businesses that won’t provide services to gay marriage ceremonies speak to themselves as well.
We need to protect the First Amendment rights of those opposed to gay marriage but political leaders don’t want to do it.
Case in point.
Earlier this year when Arizona legislators passed a law to protect businesses owned by religious people from prosecution and persecution Republican leaders like Senator John McCain and others came out against it. Mitt Romney tweeted against it..
Republican Governor Jan Brewer vetoed the legislation.
We’re getting past gay marriage fast and we are getting into the “Jewifcation” (1933 Germany style) of individuals and institutions opposed to gay marriage-homosexuality.
Republican leadership (Bill 1062 in AZ) appears to be joining in the “urinating” on the First Amendment rights of religious people-businesses-institutions in this country.
Woo hoo — sodomy!!!
Put it this way: I will not vote for any candidate who does not support a Federal Marriage Amendment. It is not lost except in the eyes of those who do not favor it.
You can vote for all those candidates you want to, their support for an amendment is meaningless and symbolic. Gay marriage will be in force.
The real answer is to defend First Amendment freedom for those who oppose gay marriage, which GOPe leaders like McCain and Romney have openly opposed.
Its like David Cameron and his “Conservative” Party over in the UK telling the voters they intend to cut a better deal with the EU to stay in when the real answer is for the UK to get out.
Christians in the UK, where Cameron’s government brought gay marriage into full force, had first formed their own third party, now most of them vote for UKIP to send the phony posturing politicians a message.
Only two justices even bothered to dissent. I think this should be a very sobering reminder that the election results are going to make ZERO difference in how America is ruled. What the elites want, the elites get. End of story.
Yeah....have to wait for the ‘new confederacy’ to do that. Split from the coasts and the other lib states or it won't ever be ratified.
Your next-to-last statement is also telling:
we are getting into the “Jewifcation” (1933 Germany style) of individuals and institutions opposed to gay marriage-homosexuality.
Will that be the only litmus test for "enemies of the state"? Or simply the first?
What would happen if the Governor of Kansas said that the Supreme Court decision is interference with his State, and he won’t abide by it.
Is Obola going to send troops to Topeka?
Just as pro homo marriage supporters called for “states’ rights” when it was convenient, now they will say, “the battle is lost and a federal marriage amendment is impossible.” But it is not impossible. Enough states had their own amendments in place to represent the 2/3 vote we would need. We are looking a a large number of republican governments and state legislatures in republican hands. Add to that the federal courts legislating and overturning the already passed amendments and states will want this federal amendment now.
Only people who favor gay marriage could be against it at this point.
To the Christian, your idea is not acceptable. Some of us prefer to fear and obey God.
