NOT “unexpected” in a “fundamentally transformed” Amerika. I wonder how much longer we’re going to have to put up with this “judicial” fiasco. Until they go through all 57 states?
Twisting it for the Twisted
A 2-1 ruling, meaning that at least one sane judge dissented. It’s just a luck of the draw with these appeals courts - one could just as easily draw three rational judges which would uphold real marriage in state laws.
When will some gutsy governor simply say, “We will not abide by this ruling. It is unjust, politically motivated and against the beliefs of the people of our state.”
Oklahoma should take a page from Obama’s book and simply ignore the ruling.
Here's what Governor Fallin, as well as other states whose constitutional amendments defining marriage (There is no such thing as a "gay-marriage ban," stop repeating the Left's narrative) were overturned by rogue black robes:
"Oklahoma will disregard this latest ruling, as well as any other federal rulings overturning our constitutional amendment, until the Supreme Court of the United States decides."
3. The right of suffrage was not necessarily one of the privileges or immunities of citizenship before the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment, and that amendment does not add to these privileges and immunities. It simply furnishes additional guaranty for the protection of such as the citizen already had [emphasis added]. Minor v. Happersett, 1874.
In fact, the Supreme Court had also warned against interpolating meanings from the Constitution.
3. The Constitution was written to be understood by the voters; its words and phrases were used in their normal and ordinary as distinguished from technical meaning; where the intention is clear, there is no room for construction and no excuse for interpolation or addition [emphasis added]. United States v. Sprague, 1931.
Sadly, the reason that activist judges are getting away with perverting the Constitution, imo, is that many generations of parents have not been making sure that their children are being taught the difference between legislative and judicial powers and the reason for constitutionally enumerated rights versus 10th Amendment-protected state powers.
As if the courts declared a dog’s tail to be a leg, therefore a dog has five legs. BUT we know it ain’t so!
A court declaration does not make a tail a leg anymore than a court declaration can make and illusionary “marriage” (same sex) real..
Just ignore the judges’ ruling, as they ignored the clear intent of the people. What are the judges going to do to enforce it?
States have the option to just ignore federal courts and judges when they issue unconstitutional rulings. The federal government has no business meddling in marriage issues.
Ovaer and over and over, democrat appointed judges are shooting down gay marriage ban laws. There is only one way to defeat this. That is to vote Republican until they stop doing it!
