I think what will happen is that Utah will lose, and that will be the end of what was formerly known as “marriage” throughout the USA.
It is not a law. It is an Amendment to the Utah State Constitution, just as Prop 8 was an Amendment to the California State Constitution.
What the federal “judge” just did was an abuse of power, where he unilaterally declared the Constitution of the State of Utah to be Un-Constitutional.
Only a tortured reading of the Fourteenth Amendment could ever produce the result that a State and its people are powerless to make a law preventing criminal behavior.
Sexual perverts are not a “victim minority” deserving of Judicial protection.
Free societies have every right to outlaw such behavior which is a matter of choice.
a new development. This is a serious matter ... not sure if comical comments leading off the thread are ... wait a minute. Laugh your asses off!
I’d like to see Utah suspend all marriages until this is resolved in favor of the rule of law (or permanently) and place the blame squarely on the perverts and the judge who overstepped his authority. It would be better to have no state-sanctioned marriage than to have state recognition of a pretense that is not marriage.
Seems like Utah will be the first state that legalizes polygamy with its history and all.
Wish just one Pubbie would have the guts to tell these leftist black robe Vaders to F off.

I think Federal “judges” with “compelling” homosexual life stories or homosexual/pedophile tendencies should recuse themselves from making these decisions. JMO
