The creation of additional "penumbras" within the First Amendment.
The Existence of the United States as a Free Nation, able to make its own laws and create the Society it wants
It seems to me after the S Ct’ s previous ruling state courts were falling over themselves to redefine marriage, and the homosexualist position was well on its way to winning. Why is this new case even necessary?
—Does the United States Constitution require states to allow members of the same sex to marry each other? Does the Constitution require states to recognize the marriages of same-sex couples who were legally married in another state?—
I guess that depends on whether the Supremes think the Constitution is a ‘living document’ or an enduring document (as Judge Scalia correctly points out).
Not optimistic about the ruling.
Or maybe the Dred Scott v. Sandford of marriage.
Not much at stake — just marriage, family, children and society.
I heard 60 percent of evangelicals under 30 support gay marriage.
Parents, teachers, preachers and judges — you have failed.
Miserably.
What’s at stake? The final closing of the coffin lid, informing me that America has become a completely degenerate nation. A nation I’ll no longer find worth mourning over, as it continues its slide into decay and eventual demise.
Please bear in mid that gay marriage is a 17th Amendment (17A)-related issue. More on this later.
"Does the United States Constitution require states to allow members of the same sex to marry each other? Does the Constitution require states to recognize the marriages of same-sex couples who were legally married in another state?"
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
The states have never amended the Constitution to expressly protect gay rights. So the corrupt media is arugably begging activist justices to put on their "magic classes” and find the so-called “right” to gay marriage hidden somewhere in the Constitution.
Regarding 17A as it relates to gay marriage, please consider the following. If 17A had never been ratified then there would probably all different faces on the Supreme Court at this time, probably state sovereignty-respecting justices with family values.
And not only would I expect God-fearing justices to say the same thing about gay marriage mentioned above, but patriots wouldn’t be concerned that activist justices would try to legalize gay marriage from the bench because their wouldn’t be any activist justices on the bench.
The 17th Amendment needs to disappear.
Why do I suspect that Roberts and Kennedy will vote pro-gay?
I’ve already banned the display of the American Flag on my property over what it’s become and currently represents.
The reasons for this are several:
1. It has become a fetid, rotting carcass, unrelated and bearing no resemblance to that great, godly Nation founded by our Fathers.
2. The rotting carcass is infested with maggots that are moving the carcass, but the carcass itself no longer has any life in it.
3. Pledging allegiance to this parody of a once-great nation is enabling the parody.
4. It represents a nation composed largely of mindless parasites, whose only concern is its next meal off those who are productive and moral.
5. Its head, and those who installed it, are enemies of the moral, the rational, and the sane.
You can tell them from their "hip" new worship service formats.
Kennedy's cocktail calendar;
Roberts' adopted kids and their safety;
I can imagine there are more...
Several state governors will whine piteously, but will end up bending the knee to Satan.
Church is so much more enjoyable and meaningful when you are wearing uncomfortable clothes and standing and singing all three verses and choruses of “Bringing in the Sheaves” while accompanied by an organ.
Yep, that’s worship.

Naturam expellas furca, tamen usquet recurret.
Hebrews 13:4
4 Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous.
That came as a great surprise. In googling it, I found the following article.
Tincher told me she had once “tried on” an anti-gay attitude to fit in with her conservative community in Liberty Township, outside Cincinnati, but like many evangelicals, she struggled to see how homophobia could accord with an all-loving Christian God. So when her pastor sent her a link to Vines’ video, she recalls, “I remember sitting in my kitchen and just crying. I knew it in my heart, but I had never been told that from the pulpit.”
Evangelicals Are Changing Their Minds on Gay Marriage
This is a shocker!
