I am kinda surprised that a conservative website still garners 54 percent that says that prop 8 violates the constitution.
That maggot Olson swerved way over to the left after Barbara died.
If Fox is conservative, civilization is doomed.
Probably DUers got wind of the poll and swamped it.
Definitely in need of freeping.
After all, Shepardess Smith works there. He/she probably has supervoter and repeat voter privileges and has skewed the poll.
Order in the courtroom here come de judge! All ye mere mortals bow to his honor.
The trap is to agree to the underlying premise in the first place. Homosexuality is a behavior, not an identity. By failing to understand this, you build your argument on a falsehood to begin with. The examples of the recent court custody fights between states are a perfect illustration. In these fights one half of a lesbian couple leaves the lifestyle and gets married to men. They then don't want to share custody with the former female partner.
So how can it be an identity if you are “gay” on Monday and “straight” on Friday?
The core problem is that homosexuality is a disorder. It is an aberration of the normal. Sorry, facts are stubborn things. The judge in this case suffers from the disorder and should have recused himself from the case to begin with. Many gays become ex-gays over time and NARTH and other organizations can help.
This ruling should be overturned, but with the current lack of thinking among people, it is doubtful it will be. Regardless, the homosexuals who “marry” will not be married. Marriage is between a man and a woman. No one is denied that.
I just happened to see Ted Olson on the news but didn't get what he had to do with this case. Can you fill me in?
As in the days of Noah . . .
Since the judge is gay if he decided that proposition was invalid he’s a hero in the gay community and the liberal areas in San Fransisco and Los Angeles. If on the other hand he decided it wasn’t he’d be a traitor to the gay community in lots of their eyes and would be ostracized/shunned. If there is any dirt on him or any significant others in his life or his family they would see it got out (they’d have gone after his family no matter what if he was straight). His life would be made a living hell.
Does anyone know if he has a significant other and they want to get married?
The slippery slope has turned into a log ride. What’s coming promises to be intensely unpleasant. The left has sought to dismantle the foundation of society and it looks as though they may have finally succeeded.

Trolls. Lots of people that are infected with virulent hatred for Fox News, what with the left-wing propaganda against it.

I've long thought that the institutionalization of homosexual marriage would be a trigger event. Two more rulings and that trigger event could be at hand.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Question:
Is the regulation of marriage law a state enterprise, or a federal enterprise?
I thought it was a state enterprise. If so, then this judge is totally out of his mind! (to be kind)
He should have recused himself because he is gay.
He should NOT have ruled on this.
Only one Judge can define marriage and He isn’t from California
Hell no. There is a reason there are men and women.
