This is a states rights issue and the SCOTUS should have ruled it that way.

[skinkinthegrass]

w/ "Bathouse" Sluts; they've (USSC) have become Lazy/irresponsible.

[jazusamo]

Absolutely

Go Ted Cruz!

[SoFloFreeper]

Isaiah 5:20 applies.

When time comes to an end, this sin will not be applauded or celebrated.

See: Genesis 19.

The SCOTUS is just as corrupt as the rest of the Federal Government, maybe more so.

[puppypusher]

Well!Congress funds the Judiciary.Why don’t they send the Chief Justice a message by cutting his budget?

This crap has to stop somewhere.

Less talk(complaining)and more action would be beneficial to get the courts attention.

[SoConPubbie]

Ted Cruz Ping!

If you want on/off this ping list, please let me know.

Please beware, this is a high-volume ping list!

[Rashputin]

There were never enough loud and angry people in the streets to overturn infanticide so what did they have to fear over sodomy?

The Senate, kiddies, the Senate being elected since the 17th Amendment rather than handled the way the Constitution originally intended is the root of all these bad judges and the decisions that flow from them. Far more so than the President.

Enjoy the fruits of early twentieth century progressives and their victory over the Constitution.

States have no more legitimate authority to define marriage than the courts do. Marriage is what God defined it to be, in the very beginning.

[Cboldt]

Did Cruz call for impeachment?

[FunkyZero]

Agreed. States should be deciding this. Anytime SC gets involved, politics make the ruling (not that it doesn't in the lower courts, but at least those are local).

they should, however, be releasing the write-up and an explanation of their actions for the record.

[Cboldt]

Congress can cut the budget for the Court as a whole, but it can;t cut the pay of the judges. Well, not within the Constitution, anyway.

The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behavior, and shall, at stated Times, receive for their Services a Compensation which shall not be diminished during their Continuance in Office.

Article III, section 1

“Did Cruz call for impeachment?”

I believe he has before if memory serves me right.

Imagine the hand wringing if he got real vocal right now about it.

To the GOPE it is a third rail topic.

[Cboldt]

The Supreme Court has discretion to take this kind of case. The parties had a trial, and an appeal. Sometimes a justice who objects to denial of certiorari will pen a dissent. That is an unusual step.

[Jack Black]

Marriage is what God defined it to be, in the very beginning.. You do understand that not everyone in America believes in the same God you do, the same interpretation of God's laws, or even any God at all.

I seem to recall a lot of polygamy in the Bible. Does that comport with your view of "what God defined it to be"?

I don't think that is a standard that we can craft our laws on. The founders could probably have created a theocracy, but their experience led them in a different direction.

[Theodore R.]

I’m afraid the American people don’t believe Genesis or Isaiah or any of the other sixty-four books of the Bible come to think of it.

[right way right]

Every thing is a third rail topic to the GOPe.
They base their whole future on just going along to get along and the hope that enough people are disgusted with Obama enough to vote.
Obama is not running.
