“I hope not, Your Honor, because what we’re really talking about here is a class of people who are, by State laws, excluded from being able to participate in this institution, Bonauto said.
The constitution protects the rights of the individual. Every individual can marry as long as they are of age, are not already married (nor is the other person), are marrying a member of the opposite sex and are not closely related to the other person. And any of the above disqualifies them from marrying the other person.
This law applies equally to everyone.
It’s not about rights. It’s about tearing down the principles of right and wrong that we learned from our parents and religious institution.
To turn this country into a communist country, they have to make the State the only source of right and wrong.
Marriage is defined in the Bible, if the so-called Justices think they can redefine the term they are sadly mistaken. They can call a cow a horse, but it sure doesn’t make it so.
Lousy report! Was Breyer’s question indicative of skepticism, or a set-up? We can’t possibly know without knowing how it was answered!

I remember when Roe V. Wade was being decided. They told us that to have legal abortion - it would get rid of child abuse, crime, you name it. But all the problems they said would be eliminated actually increased.
Whacking the protection of marriage laws between a man and a woman will open more cans of snakes than we can possibly imagine right now.
One thing - what keeps gays from doing more kissing and hugging and holding hands right now is that it is not socially acceptable. Guess what we and our children will be witness to if the laws are lifted?
You will be eating at a restaurant with your family and you will be forced to watch the two guys in the next booth going at it. And there will be no law protecting public decency because they will have privileged law on their side.
I was at private lake and there was a woman walking around with nearly all of her buttocks showing. A small group of us parents went to the owner and asked if the offending woman could be asked to cover up her greatly exposed @$$. He agreed since his lake was a family-friendly place. So, he went up to her and asked her to either put something on to cover up or leave the lake. She left after wiggling her @$$ at us.
This marriage law will allow these people to push for more “rights” and I gotta tell you a couple of guys or a couple of gals marrying each other will be the least of our concerns.
After the Obamacare ruling, I have no confidence in the Roberts’ court.
Roberts has proven himself to be incompetent.
If they get this one right, it will be a miracle.
I predict they get it wrong. Thousands of years of civilization’s definition of marriage, struck down on a whim.
This is one I’d like to see proven wrong on. Lets hope I am.
Until gay couples are able to produce new tax payers without assistance, then their contribution to society can ONLY be measured in terms of DE-population through disease and natural attrition via national fertility rates.
Governments naturally favor those behaviors which grow the economy through perpetuation of the species...
Even with religion and morality set aside (NOT that it should be), this issue is NOT about discrimination but rather about promotion of the general welfare.
If gay marriage is a good thing, then would happen if heterosexuality were non-existent???
God has a purpose for everything... and gay marriage is not only in direct opposition to that purpose, it mocks the very God under Whom this nation was founded. The gays know this. I hope SCOTUS understands what they will be saying to God if they let this abomination to continue.
Scotus is not the arbiter of the dictionary. Never has been.
And the Lord said, because of the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is great; and because their sin is very grievous I will go down now and see whether they have done altogether according to the outcry against it, that has come to me; if not I will know it.

"Justices Question Redefining Millennia-Old Institution of Marriage"
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
First, note that the Supreme Court’s unconstitutional approach to deciding the constitutionality of gay marriage is a 17th Amendment-related problem. In other words, if the 17th Amendment had not been ratified then there would probably be all different faces on the Supreme Court at this time. And if such was the case then the Supreme Court would likely consist of God-fearing justices who would probably share the family values of the senators who confirmed them, senators likewise sharing the family values of the state lawmakers who elected them. And patriots wouldn’t be concerned about pro-gay activist justices looking for an excuse to legislate the so-called “right” to gay marriage from the bench.
Regarding redefining marriage, since when did the Constitution give the Supreme Court the power to define marriage? In fact, the Founding States had made made the 10th Amendment to clarify that the Constitution’s silence about things like marriage means that marriage is uniquely a state power issue. And since the states have never amended the Constitution to expressly protect gay marriage, the states are free to make marriage laws which discriminate on the basis of sex, prohibiting gay marriage an example of this.
Getting back to the 17th Amendment, that amendment needs to disappear.
Secession belongs to a different class of remedies. It is to be justified upon the basis that the States are Sovereign. There was a time when none denied it. I hope the time may come again, when a better comprehension of the theory of our Government, and the inalienable rights of the people of the States, will prevent any one from denying that each State is a Sovereign, and thus may reclaim the grants which it has made to any agent whomsoever.
