Our country has gone stark raving mad.
There’s no biological reason why Blacks and Whites can’t marry.
There is a biological reason why Gays can’t marry. They are the same sex. Marriage is between different sexes.
Gay marriage promotes disease. Do any lawyers come at it from that perspective? Anal sex is a health risk. Gay marriage should be outlawed on that alone.
Traditionally our federal judges have enjoyed life tenure.
So if tradition is no longer honored by our judges there should be an easy way to fire these morons.
Posner has gone off the deep end. Doesn’t he realize that any man can marry any woman? How is different from the Jim Crow democrat days? Any man could not marry any woman.
Where is the mystery in that difference? Marriage is a union between a man and a woman. Any man and any woman (certain exceptions apply).
Same sex marriage: Undoing four million years of evolution with the stroke of a pen.
5 years from now, when two married lesbian women want to enter into a triple marriage with their French poodle, this same judge will say, ‘Why not? Time was when two gays couldn’t marry, either.’
they should have argued the purpose of marriage is pro-creation. homo marriage cannot due this.
I hear that dementia is suggested when any man/ woman/ or ? cannot distinguish between skin color and Sexual Orientation— between “marriage” and fornication/ abomination. Posner is a Poser and NOT a Righteous Judge. No Judge divorced from the Laws dictated by God,Himself has any Just power to change the definition of “marriage” Jesus, that Rabbi from Nazareth called Christ directed the Pharisee who tempted Him back to the beginning (Genesis 1:27; and 2:24) It is significant that the precedents in the “Holy Writ “ do not suggest legal same sex relations— and the example of Sodom and Gomorrah for those who would afterward live unrighteous remains as valid today as when it was written in the beginning.
Nothing like an impartial judge. Rather than tradition, maybe a better reason would be same sex marriages are "unnatural".
Unnatural as in not part of nature.
Natural law, or the law of nature , is a system of law that is determined by nature, and so is universal.[1] Classically, natural law refers to the use of reason to analyze human nature both social and personal and deduce binding rules of moral behavior from it....Wikipedia
Natural law is a benchmark to measure how far man has deviated from the best model of survival available to us.
“It was tradition to not allow blacks and whites to marry a tradition that got swept away,” the 75-year-old judge said. Prohibition of same-sex marriage, Posner said, derives from “a tradition of hate ... and savage discrimination” of homosexuals.
CHICAGO (AP) Federal appeals judges bristled on Tuesday at arguments defending gay marriage bans in Indiana and Wisconsin, with one Republican appointee comparing them to now-defunct laws that once outlawed weddings between blacks and whites.
Just because they are judges does not mean they are not idiots.
Posner said, derives from “a tradition of hate ... and savage discrimination” of homosexuals.
Wow this man just called God a Hater..........
besides this is a common law nation
Not sure which we lost first, but we've managed to lose both our way and our integrity.
The worst form of inequality is to try to make unequal things equal.

The word “Ban” doesn’t even apply in these cases. In all of these cases, there is no one preventing any of these homosexual couples from having a ceremony, living together, or otherwise living as though they were “married.” Their living arrangement is simply not legally defined as a marriage. To ban something is to prevent it or to have penalties in the law (fines, jail time, etc.) for violating the ban - there are no penalties levied against homosexuals who choose to have a living arrangement similar to a marriage while living in a state that does not recognize such arrangements as marriage.
