Payback is going to be hell

A full 50 percent say gay marriage is protected by the Constitution’s Equal Protection clause, an argument repeated by judge after judge in a string of federal rulings against state bans since a pivotal Supreme Court decision last summer. Some 43 percent do not believe gay marriage enjoys constitutional protection. Support for gay marriage overall — regardless of views on whether it is constitutionally protected — enjoys broader support, with 56 percent saying they back the right for same-sex couples to marry and 38 percent opposing it.
In states that ban same-sex marriage, opinions tilt narrowly in support, 50 percent to 44 percent opposed. Opinions in these states are even more closely divided on whether or not it is a constitutional right, with 45 percent saying it is protected and 48 percent saying it is not. That includes the handful of states where federal court decisions against gay marriage bans are pending appeal. In states where gay marriage is allowed, 64 percent support it and 56 percent see it as a right.
Most demographic and political groups support gay marriage. Republicans continue to oppose it, but the GOP (and independents who lean GOP) are fractured by age. Republicans under 50 lean in support while those 50 and over oppose it.

When you preach that the people are entitled to, “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness” while denying that the people are in return obligated to be honest, loyal, and moral, you end up with an insane asylum full of self-destructive narcissists.
I give up.
I could say the sun comes out at midnight, doesn’t make it so.
However, if one has never read the document, nor the history and documents that it is based upon, including 900 years of English law, then yes, one could (ignorantly) say it’s a Constitutional right.
Not sure, exactly which part of The Constitution referenced marriage.
The worst is yet to come!
Constitutional right? Really? Where is it in the constitution?
exactly
Well yes!
Does perverting the Equal Protection Under the Law Clause to include gay marriage, marginalize and belittle the valid cause of Rights for Blacks?
Yes.
BS. Then they would so viciously opposed marriage referendums like they do, would they?
Well, just remind people what the “marriage acts” are in same sex marriage and see if they still think it is o.k. Pretty harmful if one thinks about it and researches it.
“Say it enough and the sheep believe the lie apparently.”
No say it enough and the sheep will simply get tired of fighting it. Then their hope is that it all goes away, if they get what they want. And when it doesn’t go away, they’ll still be too tired to fight.
Same with Amnesty. If it would only get passed, then we won’t have to see all this BICKERING anymore on the issue.
Sucks, but that is how liberals win.

No matter what “laws” these pervs pass or what judicial rulings they get...they are still pervs.
Right
There ya go.
Those new ‘constitutional rights’ seem to spring up like weeds in these days.
80% Try 95% or greater and that includes a vast majority of lawyers, even constitutional lawyers. Do you really believe that Elana Kagan EVER read the Constitution? Do you really believe Obama ever read the constitution? I doubt it. Affirmative Action all the way. Right to the SCOTUS and the POTUS!
I doubt Kagan ever read a book. She definitely looks simple.
Homosexual propaganda is working.
It’s a shame Doma wasn’t overturned say back in the early 00’s or late 90’s. Back then a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage could have passed if that had happened.
How much things have changed, Vermont passed civil unions in 2000, that caused such a backlash that Republicans took the State House, in VERMONT.
