“the U. S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments”
Nope. Not going there.
Oral arguments. There is a really bad pun in there....
Oh, darn. I went there anyway.
Prayers up for traditional Marriage.
We knew it would come to this, you can’t have 50 states with 50 different sets of marriage laws.
With the legal system you can draw up power of attorney’s, do trust funds, set up wills that protect your partner’s rights, just as Heterosexuals do.
Don’t shove it down my throat like you did 0’care. It’s against my faith.
Imagine the poor person having to give the 69th oral argument.
To be on the carpet in front of the SCOTUS.
I better go
the jokes write themselves! lol
“Supreme Court to Hear Oral Arguments on Same-Sex Marriage”
Good thing justice is blind so they don’t have to watch.
A decadent culture equates tolerance as the refusal to make rational judgments and the acquiescence to harmful aberrancies.
“Striking down state laws which define traditional marriage will be the worst example of judicial activism since Roe v. Wade. Abraham Lincoln said, ‘that if the policy of the government upon vital questions affecting the whole people is to be irrevocably fixed by the decisions of the Supreme Court . . . the people will have ceased to be their own rulers.’”
States better be prepared to exercise their God given authority over the Government they loaned a little bit of power, or the ultimate bad decision by the Supreme’s will further reduce what little sovereignty remains. Meanwhile pray diligently for sanity to prevail in the Court’s decision. Another NKP Vet ‘68 ‘69.
Dear Heavenly Father and our Lord Jesus Christ, may the Holy Spirit do a mighty work today in the lawyers and servants arguing to uphold Your will and may You be glorified by working in the hearts and minds of all the supreme court justices especially Kennedy and Roberts too maintain the sanctity of marriage in the United States of America between one man and one woman. Amen
If it turns out that states have to recognize marriages in other states, there should be an immediate push to force states to recognize another state’s concealed carry permit.
The fix has been in since day 1. When this whole issue hit the scene a decade ago I knew the SCOTUS would get around to mandating it nation wide.
Kabuki Theater.
For this topic, I prefer the term “verbal”.
The Liberal line is that Roberts swings on this. Not sure I’d be too surprised if he did.
I was thinking the same
“Hear Oral Arguments on Same-Sex Marriage”
Oral Arguments? That’s a mouth full.
producing of children;
providing for children;
and protection of children.
This is why the institution of marriage has been respected through out history by almost every form of government. Thus by its purpose marriage, in principle, must be between a man and a woman. Sense homosexual couples can not have offspring, there is no reason for them to be married. If gay couples want the benefits of marriage, they may form a legal partnership. There is no need for gay marriage.
Marriage is for:
producing of children;
providing for children;
and protection of children.
Counter argument: lots of married people don’t have, or want, children. I don’t think this will be a convincing argument.
No, I did not imply that a married couple had to have children. I was explaining society’s reason for marriage. For a society to survive there must be children. Marriage between a man and a women has been shown to be the optimal way to insure our survival. In principle, a nonreprodutive couple does not change the main purpose of marriage, that is our survival as a species. Gays do not need to be married. They only want to be married, too make their lifestyle seem more ‘normal’.
