Interesting comments by the Supremes.

At the link, you can vote on which comment is most relevant to the case.

That’s good what Roberts said, right?

[SWAMPSNIPER]

Smoke and mirrors.

Justice Elena Kagan:

"It's hard to see how permitting same-sex marriage discourages people from being bonded with their biological children."

Which of the adults in a lesbian relationship in which a child is ensnared is the biological parent and which one isn't?

And which biological parent isn't included in the lesbian union?

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Why is a marriage issue in the High Court ?

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Kabuki theater. Supremes will rule 7-2 in favor of the homos

I am hoping at best for a split decision. There”s no doubt to me they are going to at least decree it legal in some form across the land. They cant reverse what they ave already done with state after state overturning amendments and state laws.

[Amendment10]

As mentioned in related threads, we probably wouldn’t have the threat of pro-gay activist justices looking for a way to legalize gay marriage from the bench if the 17th Amendment had not been ratified.

Roberts, on the question of forcing states that ban same-sex marriage to recognize those unions formed in other states:

"It'd simply be a matter of time until they would in effect be recognizing that within the state, because we live in a very mobile society and people move all the time. In other words, one state would basically set the policy for the entire nation."

If I understand Justice Roberts correctly, he is wrongly ignoring the following. If enough states soften up to gay marriage, then the states can amend the Constitution to expressly protect gay marriage. So Roberts seems to be edging towards an excuse to establish the so-called “right” to gay marriage outside the framework of the Constitution imo.

The 17th Amendment needs to disappear.

[Amendment10]

As a side note to this thread, please consider the following. The promotion of abortion and gay marriage are arguably politically correct ways for enemies of the USA to ultimately reduce the size of the USA’s armed forces.

How many people should be allowed to marry each other and why?

[bramps]

I just hope they are ready for the rioting, burning, and looting nationwide if they rule in favor of gay marriage.

[informavoracious]

It will be made legal. They are just pretending to give it some thought.

[Sacajaweau]

Doesn’t matter how they rule. If they rule that marriage is man and woman...and no other, Obama will simply pick up his magic pen and give the homos his blessing.
