(Reuters) - A U.S. federal appeals court on Friday appeared receptive to arguments in favor of striking down same-sex marriage bans in the conservative southern states of Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi.
Two of three judges on a 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel in New Orleans expressed skepticism over the bans, with Judge Patrick Higginbotham noting a "sea change" on opinion over gay rights in recent decades and questioning why states wanting to incentivize procreation would allow sterile opposite-sex couples but not same-sex couples to marry.
After it was noted that Mississippi was unlikely to change its position on gay marriage in the near future, Higginbotham, an appointee of President Ronald Reagan, appeared to reference that state's history of racism.

The gayification of the U.S. continues.....
So another wobbly Reagan appointee? What the hell?
Terrorist Federal judges
So, as long as a group of people agree, it is ok to call anything a “marriage”?
Governors and state AGs should disregard all federal rulings until SCOTUS rules on the matter.

Well, it’s getting personal now, since it’s reaching my home state. In a way, ‘two’ home states of mine.
I would have preferred seeing America overrun and destroyed by either Nazis or Soviets than to have it end this way, actively embracing such degeneracy and evil.
This is a lesson on how weak man is without the support of God. And the support of God can be either accepted or refused. Currently it is being refused, even by a lot of supposed believers.
It is all to destroy Christian Ethics and the ideology (Enlightenment and Modern Science and US Constitution) which it created.
Can’t have Lockean mindsets-—even a Rousseauian one-—where there is Design in Nature and Natural Laws and God’s Laws.
Remove God and you make our Natural Rights into irrational man-made-up ‘Rights”-—like to sodomize others to destroy Logic and Reason and Science (understanding of Natural Laws in children which is only done by being raised by a mother and father. All other type of ‘families” other than the Christian concept gives children a warped idea of Reality).
They have been conditioning children for 50 years into believing the unnatural and evil use of the human body is “Good”—that “family” can be “anyone’ someone “loves”-—without marriage or commitment -—to flip our Ethical system, because the Cultural Marxists in the 30s developed a curricula to “kill God” and destroy Virtue in children so culture collapses.
Without Virtue, civil society collapses. (Socrates). To destroy Virtue—it is easiest to normalize vile behaviors in the little children (through indoctrination in public schools (Common Core) and making them uncomfortable with Christian ideology and TV/Movies normalizes vile, evil behaviors and urges and give the perceptions that beautiful, smart people engage in evil behaviors all the time—it is normal-—like with the destruction of the Christian Family-—like in the boy harems of Afghanistan.
There is no chance that Afghanistan males will become mature masculine males (moral) when they are conditioned to lust after boys and other males and hate women. Neither is is possible that people who “think” it is moral to sodomize others (degrade human beings and reduce them to irrational animal) and remain “Good”. Nope-—they see other humans in an evil, demeaning irrational, vile way.
All behaviors are learned and modeled and the Marxists knew they had to destroy Reason and Faith in the children (John Dewey/Moral Relativism) and instill Evil is Good and flip the ideas which created the Age of Reason and the US Constitution and idea of “Justice”-—the Queen of Virtue which was based on Christian Ethics in the West and why the West was so successful, the most Free, the most diverse, and humane and Creative in the history of the World.
There is a reason why it was ONLY Christian Ethics which ended Slavery and Pederasty, Homosexuality, Polygamy and child-sacrifice in Western Civ and made it popular and Good. But it created Individualism-—and collectives have to destroy that concept in children-—Individual Natural Rights from God.
How about that it’s of the devil: buggery is mean.
Believe it or not it is not about subchristian ideas.
Article 3 Section 2 US Constitution:
In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction. In all the other Cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make
Tell the court to go pound sand, File Criminal Charges, issue a Governors Warrant for Extradition, Begin Civil Asset Forfeiture proceedings. The only thing that can save them is a Presidential Pardon!!
It is a mercy shown to them by civil society and a recognition by the state that procreation is in God's hands and not man's.
Our society is suffused with a religion which believes that a very old Abraham and Sarah could have children if God so decided, and as a result of these long held beliefs by our society, our legal structure reflects that recognition of God's power over such matters.
11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
12 Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?
13 And the LORD said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old?
14 Is any thing too hard for the LORD? Lk. 1.37 At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.
*THAT* is why you Arrogant and Stupid B@stards.
They fall over themselves to show how much wiser they are than God.
Allegedly the Authors Guild is spending its members money to promote gay marriage. Doesn’t make sense since this is not even remotely related to its goals.
It’s the Big Fat Liberal Cause Du Jour.
The chaos this will court? “Not my problem, mon.”
That they don’t need this fuddy duddy ole Creator.
Sounds like the Feral fag “judges” aren’t done yet.
Judge, if there is SUCH a sea change, then YOUR interference isn't needed.
In fact, the BULK of sea change has come NOT from voters but from judicial and political ELITES.
