AP: Narrow ruling rejects Ohio gay marriage ban
AP Houston Chronicle ^ | 12/23/13

CINCINNATI (AP) — A federal judge has declared in a ruling that applies only to death certificates that Ohio's ban on gay marriage is unconstitutional.

In his decision Monday, Judge Timothy Black orders state officials to recognize such unions on death certificates. Although his ruling applies narrowly, his statements about Ohio's gay-marriage ban are sweeping and expected to incite further litigation challenging the law.

Very narrow ruling, but it is an other example of the federal courts imposing unconstitutional laws on a state.

You can thank justice Kennedy for this. He gave the OK for Obama judicial appointees to force all 50 states to marry same sex

The new term for traditional biblical marriage is ‘gay marriage ban’

Federal Courts which issue idiotic decisions should be ignored. Call it Judicial Nullification.

This will thrill the liberal majority in OH; “conservatives” there actually think Boehner is their man.

It is a toss up between Boehner and Portman

RE :”Justice Kennedy = Ronald Reagan not doing his homework”

Recall how much trouble Dems gave Reagan getting judicial appointments through.

And it took 60 Senators in those days.

Obama and Reid didn't like that rule for themselves, its only for Republicans not themselves, typical liberals.

Across red states, Obama appointees have to be removed from office by hook or by crook. Charge them with fraud or whatever is necessary. They cannot be allowed to use their judicial tyranny to bludgeon the people of a state.

I think they’re deliberately laying “precedent” to force all 57? states to approve sodomite unions as “marriage”.

Nonsense. The conservative part of Ohio, including where I live, elected some of the best conservative congressmen like Jim Jordan to office.

this is how they back door these things in

For example- to REPEAL something usually means to go back to how it used to be. You go from original position A, to B, then ‘repeal’ it and go back to A.

But “dont ask dont tell” was implemented and when they ‘repealed’ it they went to a whole new position, “gays in the military are OK”

That is moving the ball from A to B to C (your real goal all along)

When they repeal B they should go back to A, but instead they claim that repealing don’t ask don’t tell meant go ahead and ask and tell (position C)

The same is happening with these court cases. They propose a ban on gay marriage, then ‘repeal’ it, and claim it means no more ban.

They could never propose gay marriage and have it pass, but they know they can get a BAN passed, then repeal it to their new position.

Harry Reid just did the same thing with the filibuster nuclear option.

They proposed a vote that required 60 votes, then got it overturned on a ‘technicality’ which required only 50 votes, which they claimed meant the original thing passes.

If it was procedurally errored, (they said it out of regular order) then it should have gone back for another vote in the correct manner, not promoted to passed.

Federal judges have NO jurisdiction. Kasich needs to announce that the ruling is nullified, and has no effect in Ohio. Then let’s see what the Federal Stalinists try next. TAKE BACK STATE SOVEREIGNTY!

The time has come to ignore these “judges”. They are neither fair, nor impartial.

They are nothing more than democRAT operatives.

Unfortunately, most Americans don't know – or care – just how far down the drain we've slid!

Sorta gives new meaning to the once proud boast that one served under a West Pointer!
