Sponsors of California’s same-sex marriage ban say a federal appeals court decision that clears the way for gay weddings to resume is “disgraceful.”

Anthony Pugno, general counsel for a coalition of religious conservative groups, called Friday’s order from the 9^th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals an “outrageous act” by judges and politicians determined to overturn voter-approved Proposition 8. …

A free vote of the people was overturned by a court because the losers didn’t like the result.

So basically nothing can be prohibited by law.

We all know the truth and what needs to be done. We just can’t talk about in online anymore.

Our republican revolution was fought in large part over the concept that the people, not kings, were sovereign and from whom ALL authority is derived.

The people of CA twice, once via reps, and once via constitutional amendment, merely defined marriage for what all civilizations have recognized.

For all practical purposes Scotus and the Ninth Circus repealed the tenets of the American Revolution. As Mark Levin recently said, “this cannot go on.”

>>We all know the truth and what needs to be done.

Agree, repeal the 17th Amendment.

From the Be Careful What You Ask For department, all the gays and lesbians who presently are dancing in the streets will soon get to experience the dreaded D word along with the dreaded A word. That’s right dancers, once you can legally be married, you can then get to experience the joys of a legal divorce and having to make legal property settlements and alimony payments. You will get to enjoy the “benefits” of a legal marriage “enjoyed” by us straight folks for all of these years. I suspect the level of divorce among gays and lesbians will be a good bit higher than among strait folks.

As with abortion, opponents of same-sex relationships must use plain, direct language to educate people about the disgusting and damaging effects of homosexuality and lesbianism on individuals, families, and civil society. There is nothing “gay” about a lifestyle choice that is abnormal, perverted, immoral, unhealthy, and dangerous. Don't be limited by the PC speech police when going after and describing this animalistic faggotry.

The only way they can challenge it now is to elect a Republican governor willing to appeal.
