ZOT!! Overturned Same-Sex Marriage Ban is a Win for Freedom
The Woodward Report ^ | August 4, 2010

Posted on 08/04/2010 3:44:08 PM PDT by thisisthetime

When a San Francisco Federal Judge ruled the ban on same –sex marriage (enumerated by Proposition 8) unconstitutional today it was a big win for freedom in the United States. No longer will the issue be one that it is determined on a state by state basis, but the issue will eventually be enshrined in federal law pending the eventual Supreme Court decision.

The current ruling will be appealed in the 9th Circuit, but regardless of the outcome you can be assured this case will be heard by the highest court in the land. The question is – What will be their verdict? Proposition 8, which accumulated 52.3% of the vote, was deemed unconstitutional because of its infringement on the due process and equal protection clauses of the 14th amendment.

Another interesting twist to the story is the man who made the decision, Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker, is himself gay. Regardless of his orientation, which the San Francisco Gate claims had no affect on the outcome, I believe this is the correct decision and hope that the United States Supreme Court concurs when given the chance.

As editor-in-chief of The Woodward Report I identify myself heavily with conservative politics. I am certain that by agreeing with the verdict rendered I am in the minority among conservatives. However, the reality is that there is no legitimate argument that outlines why same-sex marriage should be banned. No one can argue with a straight face that it will diminish the sanctity of marriage. The divorce rate among Americans is estimated to be between 40% - 50%. It is clear that a lot of people do not take marriage very seriously...

To be fair we don't and NEVER had "majority rule" in this country, and the founders did not want a mobocracy, where our constitutional rights are subject to the will of the sheeple. Should we turn in our guns if the asses, er, masses voted in favor of firearm confiscation because guns were "scary."

If anything, we need to limit the franchise, not expand it.

Nations are prosperous not because they pay attention to deficits, etc., although that is part of the picture, but because they raise children who have sufficient moral fiber that they eschew irresponsibility.

Those moral issues you would have us ignore are the foundation upon which other (fiscally) responsible behaviours are built, and any nation ignores them at its peril.

Then this means I can now legally use the men's room instead of standing in the mile long line for the ladies?

Ping to Post #79. It’s my opinion that if you allow homosexual “marriage”, you must allow other “non-traditional” marriages, including polygamy, polyandry, etc.

Polyandry?

WOO HOO!

Now if I could just clone Mr. Mew :)

people also approved of segregating schools

Considering that my public high school years were not "American Grafitti" but race riots, I have long questioned the benefit of imposing that decision on the unwilling--of both races.

The net effect was the loss of control over a generation, black and white, and we are reaping the benefits of that in rampant illiteracy, innumeracy, scientific ignorance, and raw inability to think critically.

Has America really benefitted? Have the people this was supposed to "help"?

you supply no argument here — worthless post by you.

Well @**hole, I know you have been banned, but will likely return under another screen name. How about this? Queers and lesbians will be allowed to marry, when they can reproduce naturally without help from a test tube and keep the human race alive.

Ain't going to happen in the future, so go climb a tree and swing with your tail wrapped around a branch.

As an add on reply to you...


You are a worthless pile of steaming donkey excrement. You lay around in the basement of your parent’s (probably don’t know your daddy) home, posting on sites like DU, KOS and HUFFPO. You brag about all the “buddies” you have on the Internet, but don’t realize that no one knows you are a just a lazy bum. You couldn’t pour liquid human excrement out of a boot with instructions written on the top, bottom and both sides. People like you should be in a straight jacket on the way to a prison.

There are other people with your IQ currently serving in the US Congress. Just look at the (d) side of the isle, and you are probably at the top of the IQ list. The swimmer teddy was probably your true political hero, since he was drunk most of the day. Either he or Robert KKK Byrd was your real hero. Or are you more on the SAN FRAN NAN side? Maybe B Hussein O is your leftwing hero.

Did you have a few too many snorts of cocaine with your Tequila this morning? Why don’t you go to the local office and collect your stinking food stamps and go buy your liquor and cigarettes for the week? Druggies like you should not be allowed anywhere near a computer. That can be dangerous, since you may accidentally access a porn site and that could affect your IQ even worse at your age.

Just leave us alone to our intelligent political discussion. Well, you don’t know what intelligence is, by your totally ignorant initial post. What is with liberals like you? You have to mess up the Internet with your whiny, juvenile ideas. I know first graders who have much more intellect than you exhibited with your little rant. There is nothing that indicates any amount of intelligence.

Does your mommy know you are alone with her computer? You should be banned from ever being allowed anywhere near any electronics again, since you may occidental shock yourself. Well, that could do some good and ensure you never reproduce any offspring. Go back to doing what you Dummies do best – trash anyone you disagree with and praise the idiot democrats who hate America.

Whatever the case, you should never be allowed to vote in any election. It takes some understanding of politics to understand that every candidate and his or her supporters agree with and have the courage to ensure that agenda is good for America.

Besides that, you are a hypocritical, greedy, violent, malevolent, vengeful, cowardly, deadly, mendacious, meretricious, loathsome piece of crap. You and all the dims are despicable, belligerent, opportunistic, contemptible, and a criminal enterprise. You have been so bigoted, racist, and sexist; you have made yourself look like an idiotic, brain-damaged imbecile. Your insane, arrogant, deceitful, demented, lame, self-righteous, and almost, satanic beliefs have destroyed this country. The entire dumboCRAP party is a bunch of fraudulent, ignorant, clueless, mostly illegitimate individuals who have been harmful and destructive to this nation.

You are dumb, evasive, double-talking, devious, and so revisionist, you cannot see a tenth of an inch past the tip of your nose. You are narrow-minded, manipulative, dogmatic, idolatrous, unethical, and diseased with symptoms that resemble that of a lifelong alcoholic like the swimmer. You try to be suppressive, controlling, restrictive, malignant, deceptive, dim, crazy, weird, stifling, uncaring, secretive, aggressive, mind-numbing, and abrasive, you seem like a bad dream that never ends. Your poisonous, flagrant, self-destructive, abusive, socially-retarded, puerile, and clueless behavior is something that defies explanation. The best thing you can do for the country is to take a leap off a very tall cliff, without a parachute.

I almost wish KOmmiefornia would have 10.5 earthquake and let San Fran Way the HE!! out yonder, LA, and all the other queer loving cities slide into and under the water with no survivors. Holly weird has too many liberals and the crap they produce is at odds with most peoples’ view.

If we do not have majority voting/rule in this country, then why have voting at all.....just get rid of ‘majority-based’ voting for the POTUS, Congress, varied other political offices, Federal laws, etc.

{usin a liberal theme against you.]
How is overturning the express stated will of the people a win for freedom?
The gays put it to vote, the people said NO, and the gays want to whine because they’re all butt hurt by it.
It was out to a vote, and you LOST.
Get over it Francois.

No one can argue with a straight face that it will diminish the sanctity of marriage.

I'll type it with a straight face: Gay marriage will diminish the sanctity of marriage.
