JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — A federal judge Thursday overturned Mississippi's ban on allowing same-sex couples to adopt children.

U.S. District Judge Daniel Jordan, in a preliminary injunction issued Thursday, ruled for the couples who had sued, saying the ban is unconstitutional after recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions legalizing gay marriage and benefits for gay couples. He ordered John Davis, executive director of the Department of Human Services to stop enforcing it.

There goes the Republic - and legislating from the bench.

More rule by judicial fiat. Just the way the left likes it.

Why the Hell do we even have states then?

[Billyv]

Perhaps they will follow the lead of the Alabama State Supreme Court, not holding my breath.

[rdl6989]

Good question, I’ve been asking myself the same thing for a long time.

[Lurker]

Ignore his ruling.

Force this idiot judge to send Marshalls.

On April 24, 2006, Jordan was nominated by President George W. Bush to a seat on the United States District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi vacated by Tom S. Lee. Jordan was confirmed by the United States Senate on July 20, 2006, and received his commission on August 7, 2006.

Right federal judges shouldn’t have jurisdiction over state decisions...

Yet another black robed tyrant speaks! All bow! Keep your heads down! You're not worthy enough to lay your eyes on him.

Here come da judge. Here come da judge.

The black robes are smarter than everyone else combined.

Will the judicial tyranny ever end?

[Secret Agent Man]

Only when its in their favor.

How about to adopt couples must have been married 15 years? Since most Homo couple are married less than 5 years before they divorce or murder one another this would stop them without “Stopping Them” if you know what I mean

[twister881]

Of course, the children “adopted” by these narcissistic sex perverts don’t matter. They just get warped & crushed by the whole immoral, sordid, sickening mess.
