[snip]The federal government will recognize the marriages of same-sex couples performed in Utah during a brief period in which same-sex marriages were allowed, Attorney General Eric Holder announced Friday.
“I am confirming today that, for purposes of federal law, these marriages will be recognized as lawful and considered eligible for all relevant federal benefits on the same terms as other same-sex marriages,” Holder said in a <"http://dailycaller.com/2014/01/10/obama-administration-to-recognize-utah-same-sex-marriages/">( video statement).
On Dec. 20, federal District Judge Robert Shelby struck down Utah’s ban on same-sex marriages. Monday, the Supreme Court halted new same-sex marriages pending Utah’s appeal of Shelby’s decision. Between Dec. 20 and Monday, hundreds of same-sex marriages were performed.

If Holder is operating outside the law, then who arrests him and puts him in jail? If there is no accountability, then why can’t they just disregard any law they want, like a new election in 2016? What’s to stop them?
[The Obama/Holder Lack-Of-Justice-Department...]
Obama/Holder unjust justice dept. at work against America’s working tax paying citizens as they steal, misspend, and lose America’s wealth and send our industrial foundation and companies overseas. A plan they have executed well using the useful idiots of the left.
Change America can hardly believe as hope fades for the next generation. I pray the Lord Jesus He will stop this great evil from happening though I believe we did bring this upon ourselves by fostering an evil godless generation and allowing our Constitutional rights to be stolen.
No one can. The dye is cast and the communists have America in its grips. I really doubt that we can come back without civil war. And that would be dangerous since King Obama has been building his army with military weapons. And the MSM and the Hollywood crazies are against America.
Post #8 well said.
Revolts aren't won by votes.
There is some chance, at some point on the scale, that clear thinking Americans will define government authorities that continue to operate outside of the law as domestic enemies.
Let’s think about this for a moment. The uniparty establishes the rules for ballot access, it controls who can vote, it decides the way the election will be run, then the uniparty counts the votes and announces the winner. What could go wrong with that?
But here is the punchline: see how many people get mad at you if you suggest that organizing their sock drawer would be a better use of their time than voting.
You are right.
The entire regime is a bunch of criminals who should be locked away.
I don’t think anyone can, either. And I’m more pessimistic than you about some kind of “civil war” fixing things.
There were 1300 licenses given out during the days the law was in effect...
at least 1,000 marriages were performed...
it was either make them legal or face lawsuits..
I was expecting lawsuits which the taxpayers would have had to pay probably into the BILLIONS by the time it was all settled..
this way though it was probably not the intention, the American taxpayers don’t have to bite the bullet...
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Sir, I don’t see you or anyone else stopping this. This country has been taking the hits with nothing more than a whimper. It is breathtaking.
I do not consider that fighting. Now we are going to see the worst suffering inside this country we have ever seen with Obamacare. Dead people can’t fight.
How can they recognize something the state doesn’t recognize? The lawlessness of this admin just astounds me.
Question is, when will we stop hitting 'Snooze'.
“I do not consider that fighting.”
Really? You want to fight? We have two state-sponsored battalions looking for recruits.
If you’re too old and decrepit to fight, we’re looking for people to sponsor and outfit squads and platoons - pledge your fortune.
I’m getting real tired of people saying they want to “stop this,” but they won’t commit themselves or their money.
Pledge yourself to the fight...
I have been reading a biography by Merry about our 11th President, James Polk.
Very interesting book. I can that we are heading towards a civil war, but not yet. Not yet.
After looking over all the candidates, the one we need the most is Palin.
These traitors are joined by members of Congress who refuse to impeach them.
The Obama Administration Culture is based on lies, persecution of political opponents, and violating the US Constitution.
Under the leadership of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Speaker of the House John Boehner, the GOP Establishment Congressional Culture is based on becoming more like the Obama Administration Culture.
By design, the GOP Establishment has become a doormat speed bump for Obamacrat politicians on the very wide, and well lighted Highway to European Socialism.
Without the capable cave-in expertise of McConnell and Boehner, the successful fundamental transformation of America into a weak, financially devastated, morally corrupt, unreliable, former World Power would not have been possible.
To those US Senators and House members who still support McConnell and Boehner, remember Einstein’s definition of insanity:
“INSANITY IS DOING THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND EXPECTING DIFFERENT RESULTS.”
