DC is not a state.

[RexBeach]

What a surprise!

And the Nation’s Capital steps down to a lower ring of Hell.

Well done, DC. Well done.

[bill1952]

So when do they recognize my Florida State concealed weapons permit?

[Kansas58]

This is ripe for a vote in Congress.

This will force Congress and Obama to make a stand they do not want to make.

[MAD-AS-HELL]

While DC believes in the right to choose in the cases of abortion and gay marriage, they still don’t like having people the right to own guns and let their kids get vouchers to send them to better performing private schools.

[Constitution Day]

Abomination.

I know that I am in the minority here and will likely get slammed for what I am about to say, but I'll say it anyway. It is not for government to decide what is or isn't "a marriage". All that government should be involved in is recognizing a legal partnership. Defining "marriage" should be left to priests, rabbis, clergy and even the individuals themselves. Giving the concept of "marriage" over to a secular government to define is like asking whores to define the concept of "purity".

There is really no way to win this "marriage" issue with politicians in this day and age -- except to take the issue out of their hands-- but people just keep trying.

[gidget7]

Way to further alienate the people and divide the country DC.

[rabscuttle385]

Well, I guess that’s good news for Barney Frank and Lindsay Graham.

[anniegetyourgun]

no longer slouching.....sprinting.....

[444Flyer]

Marion Barry says its morally acceptable...and that settles it.

[dinoparty]

Doesn’t Congress have final jurisdiction over DC? Congress should be asked to rule one way or the other on this.

[b4its2late]

Of course.

[2harddrive]

The District of Criminals is cutting itself off from the Constitution!

[Le Chien Rouge]

“the D.C. Council has voted 13-0, without debate, to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states.”

Imagine a 13-0 vote,WITHOUT DEBATE, recognizing the same gun rights allowed in states like Texas.

Now imagine the MSM screaming how UNFAIR the vote was.

It’s easy if you try...

[prismsinc]

Marriage is an institution of the Church, NOT of the State. I’m wondering when a clever conservative legal establishment will begin to call “Same-Sex Marriage” hate speech, as the use of the word “Marriage” is an oxy-moron and is offensive with the concept of “Same-Sex”.

[BlueStateBlues]

Wait a second here. If this “law” is allowed to stand it opens the door for a federal judicial case, something the gays don’t want because they’d lose in the Supreme Court. Such a case would also put the issue rights on the front-burner of politics again. A blessing in dis(qusting)quise.
Is there a plantiff and a lawyer is D.C. willing to fight this in Federal?

[Lilpug15]

Marion Barry asks for his vote back

[Texas4ever]

Repeating myself....please excuse...

You cannot change the wording of contracts people are already signed into...Marriage contract is between a Man and a Woman....we signed it. I will not enter into the same contract as Men and Men, Woman and Woman....there is precedence> not a lawyer, but dont you have to consider what has already been signed into and called within the confines of the law? If they change it to Same-Sex Marriage...we will then have to change, because I will not sit in the same contract, union as homosexuals....We will have convenant ceremonies those before God. Covenant, committment before God, who does not recognize homosexual partnerships....but only to say they are an abomination.

[manc]

no surprise but I wonder how the black community will like this.

why not just cut the country and anything north of the potomac go their own way .
