Let’s see how Roberts twists “same sex marriage” into a fundamental right guaranteed by the Constitution.

I have no doubt that we’re going to see a 5-4 or 6-3 decision. The main question in my mind at this point is this: how are the GOP candidates going to respond?

There aren’t many candidates I like on this issue. Many of them are far too weak on it, either not challenging it, disingenously shrugging it off, or claiming it’s a states’ rights issue.

But this is going to be plopped in their laps. They’ll be required to go on the record about precisely where they stand. And it’ll determine whether I even consider voting for them.

Well . . .Let’s see. Our Right to Life was not found to be inherent in our Constitution, but the Right to Sodomite-Marriage most definitely WILL be found by our Supreme Court.

Now the Supreme Court is like the police. They make everything thing they are involved in worse.

I see the SCOTUS determining that marriage is entirely a States issue with no Federal involvement on both items. There is no basis for Federal involvement in marriage. 5/4 on both.

This would reverse all decisions made by Federal courts.

Romans 1:..
22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools.. 25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.

26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy.

Note also that Romans 1:32 points out that those who approve of such conduct are just as guilty as those who engage in it.

They might even try it before they decide.

There is a basic underlying decision that the court must make to decide this issue.

Is sexual preference a choice or is it innate?

There is no way that the court can avoid that question in it's ruling.

There are also a great many other issues, besides marriage, that will be effected by the courts determination of the above question. Such as medical coverage - the left believes that transsexuals are born that way, and sex change procedures should be covered, if it's ruled a choice then it's elective, and should not be covered. If the court rules that sexuality is a choice, then it's not discriminatory for the military to exclude gays, and transgenders.

This is a very important case, and gay marriage is only a small part. The larger issue is whether or not "sexual preference" is actually preference, or an uncontrollable effect of genetics.

When they pass this, watch for God to really unload on the U.S. In His judgment.

I think we’re all reading this wrong, folks; the Supreme Court is going to rule on whether or not Supreme Court justices of the same sex can marry each other.
