Governor Greg Abbott today released the following statement regarding the Supreme Court’s same-sex marriage ruling:
“The Supreme Court has abandoned its role as an impartial judicial arbiter and has become an unelected nine-member legislature. Five Justices on the Supreme Court have imposed on the entire country their personal views on an issue that the Constitution and the Court’s previous decisions reserve to the people of the States.
“Despite the Supreme Court’s rulings, Texans’ fundamental right to religious liberty remains protected. No Texan is required by the Supreme Court’s decision to act contrary to his or her religious beliefs regarding marriage.
“The Texas Constitution guarantees that ‘[n]o human authority ought, in any case whatsoever, to control or interfere with the rights of conscience in matters of religion.’ The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution guarantees the free exercise of religion; and the Texas Religious Freedom Restoration Act, combined with the newly enacted Pastor Protection Act, provide robust legal protections to Texans whose faith commands them to adhere to the traditional understanding of marriage.
“As I have done in the past, I will continue to defend the religious liberties of all Texans—including those whose conscience dictates that marriage is only the union of one man and one woman. Later today, I will be issuing a directive to state agencies instructing them to prioritize the protection of Texans’ religious liberties.”
God bless Texas! We WILL NOT OBEY!!!
I just heard Ted Cruz speak on Sean Hannity’s radio show.
This ain’t over!
YES!
To Ted!
Essentially: county clerks can say no. It’s a good start. Now, how about secession.
No liberals allowed past this point. Trespassers will be shot by Texans not the Staged Shootings Squad based out of Washington, D.C.
JADE HELM
Any county clerks in Texas issuing liscenses to these homo perverts SHOULD be shot.
Yep. The voters rejected it by a large margin if i remember. Then the court overruled the will of the people.
As the brave garrison at the Alamo didn’t back down. Never surrender or retreat.
He better be willing to order armed officials of the state to defend the churches in defiance of the feds.
F*** Y*** closet fags, lesbians, and closet lesbians of the Supreme Court. You just made yourself irrelevant. STAND BY YOUR DECISION, SCOTUS.. FORCE MOSQUES TO PERFORM SAME-SEX MARRIAGE.. CRICKETS? THAT’S WHAT I THOUGHT, YOU BASTARDS AND B*TCHES.
It was Prop 8 on the 2008 ballot. The wiki article has a good county by county map.
The whole point is to “flower shop” the churches.
Look for, within just a few weeks, some homos seeking out an evangelical church and demanding to be married in their church,
then having the AG or some judge come down on them and padlock their doors and jail their pastor.
The left/homos will quietly leave Muslims alone on this issue,
and refuse to cover anyone that attempts to “expose” an imam’s refusal to “marry” a pretend-gay couple.
> I pray for Governor Abbott’s safety. I hope he is surrounded by able, trained, and rough men who will not hesitate to protect him from any danger.
More than you know. He’s aware of how the goon squads out of D.C. operate. There’s pobably more assasins hired by the current administration than all the other ones combined. They make assassins out to be these mysterious, trechcoat and sunlass wearing, slinky beautiful rich people in the movies that use all these elaborate devices and poisons to off people when they’re really just normal looking people who aren’t that noticeable that know your schedule and find out when you’re alone then then take a 22 or 25 and walk up behind you, stick the muzzle to your ear, then blow your brains out. And of course dispose of your body.
Pretty sure they’ve had a much larger staff during this administration.
We are soooo going to retire in Texas (and hopefully our entire family will join us once we get set up ), and bring our pensions and savings with us.
God bless and protect this state. Amen.
You answered your own question right there!
