“ok so now husbands will want an ADDITIONAL wife for Christmas?

That alone should be enough to make them vote no LOL
Aww the possibles are endless as to what this will open up... Brother might be able to marry sisters and onward we go...........

I would rather have DOMA fail than Prop 8.

I think that's what's going to happen.

Unless the spineless SCOTUS decrees that citizens don't have standing to defend ballot measures, which would be disastrous. State governments would be given a default veto over all public referenda.

Didn’t we always know they would strike it down?

It is impossible to discern from the oral arguments which way the court will go. It is foolish to even speculate before the opinions come out.

Think so? :-)

You’re right of course. But more generally they want us to accept deviate behavior and it will extend way beyond homosexuality. It is conditioning. If they condition the masses to “anything goes” then there is less rebellion when they really take over. The leftists / commies must break us down first. We are the remnants and will serve as the counter resistance.

“It’s about many things. It’s also about forcing the citizens to support and service homosexual behavior.”

That is the worst part of it, that and teaching the young that wrong is right. I wouldn’t want to be in their shoes at the Pearly Gate.

then counterfeit marriage will be exportable into every state

Only potentially exportable.

There are 40 states holding the line on traditional marriage. I don't think that will change a whole lot.

I have TWO MOTHER IN LAWS and it is not fun. One is a hippie and the other is an obsessive Martha Stewart type.

-My wife is a product of a divorce.

True, but as far as federal law would be concerned, these couples will be able to file joint federal tax returns, receive survivor social security benefits, and other federally overseen programs administered by states, such as Medicare, wherever they choose to live. Federal governments operations is so inextricably woven into so many state programs (unfortunately) that it will be nearly impossible for marriage-honoring states to avoid conflicts with these concocted relationships. And with a federal government hostile to natural marriage as the real thing, you know they will extort compliance with their perverted wished from these states.

“so then ANYTHING legal in one state is legal in all states?”

Exactly. Wisconsin recognizes the badger as its state animal; therefore, all states must designate the badger as their state animal.

Not sure which medicare provision you are referring to as being advantageous for married but anyway...if a state doesn’T recognize gay marriage how would the feds be able to interfere in any meaningful way if the federal gov’t isn’t allowed to define marriage?

Did her dad divorce Martha for the hippie, or the other way around?

Knocked up the hippie and lost a scholarship to Notre Dame.

Several years later hooked up with Martha.
