The nation’s transformation into a Cesspool is nearly complete. Destroyed from within.

exactly and to think homosexuals were shouting about states like MA have state rights and why is it that homosexuals who want their sham don’t move to those states where they can have it .

Moses

Where is there evidence of Moses having more than one wife?

Then Loving needs to be overturned. It was a faulty decision as well. It didn’t represent the will of the people.

Not every decision needs to follow the will of the people. We are not a mob-rule democracy.

Loving was properly decided. Prohibiting marriage between the races is as ludicrous as it is abhorrent to personal liberty. The problem is trying to draw an analogy with Loving in situations where none may be found.

I care less and less what kind of CRAP the broken Court system produces. “Marriage” is the legal union of one man and one woman in the Holy estate of Matrimony As our US supreme Court recognized when we yet had the Rule of Law in this Nation.I am bone weary of Americans thinking just because some fag in drag says a State law is “unconstitutional”Then that is the end of it. I know not what course others may take But as for me I have but one lamp to guide my feet I will not commit fornication Nor SIN against God by recognizing fornication and SIN as acceptable just because some lunatic Judge says it must now be accepted.As for me and My house I will obey God rather than men.

States shouldn’t look to federal judges for guidance on matters that are outside the purview of the federal government. Since marriage is not mentioned in the constitutionally enumerated powers of the federal government, it is, therefore, a matter “...reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” Ditto abortion.

America has become a putrid sewer of degeneracy.

Secession is looking better and better each day. No real reason left to take up arms to protect and preserve a country that is dead. Better to just separate.

“And Moses was content to dwell with the man: and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter.” Exodus 2:21. (See also Exodus 18:1-6.)

“And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman.” Numbers 12:1

Don't get me wrong...I love my adopted home state of Idaho, and the people here are some of the nicest I've ever met. But they're asleep. They think that because we're a conservative state that's somewhat politically isolated, that everything's hunky-dory.

As a result, they have lost the "fight gene". As a result of that, queers, supporters of illegal scumbag aliens, teachers' unions, and Leftists of many stripes are making inroads in Idaho. If our people don't wake up and get their heads out of their a**es, Idaho could wind up as another Montana or Colorado.

That won't happen in the Republic of Texas, if it's anything like what it was when I was stationed there from '91-'96. I've never met a group of people so proud of their state, and determined to keep the spirit of 1836 alive. It would not take a whole lot for me to load up the truck and head back that way.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

Zipporah was the Ethiopian woman. Moses only had one wife.

“That won’t happen in the Republic of Texas, if it’s anything like what it was when I was stationed there from ‘91-’96.”

I hope you’re correct. I have no doubt you’re right about the fine people you met in Texas, but the Democrats are working hard to fill Houston, Dallas and other urban centers with government-dependent drones who will always vote for more Free-Government-Sh*t.

Where in the Constitution does it say HOMOS can Marry HOMOS or LESBOS can marry LESBOS?
Or for that matter that a man can marry a sheep or a woman can marry a horse?
The Constitution doesn’t address it? Oh My; until it becomes Constitutional law and ratified by the States, the States can make any law concerning it they want and the federal idiot can go pound sand, or better still, TRY TO ENFORCE HIS RULING!

why is the Feds and their judges deciding what a state looks at marriage anyway.

Like the homosexuals used to say, this is a state issue and therefore state judges should rule not a fed

How is it unconstitutional when any man can marry any woman and any woman can marry any man, what everybody in this world knows marriage to be. They have the same rights and you and me and the judge knew that. To say anything else is twisting the truth. This judge is questionable. I wonder how long before his true orientation comes out.
