SCOTUS should NOT be hearing this gay marriage case because marriage is not an enumerated power delegated to them by the Constitution. So it is up to the states to assert adhesion to the Rule of Law of the Constitution and declare they reject unconstitutional federal acts and decisions like hearing and deciding regarding gay marriage (regardless of their ruling - it is not in their constitutional scope of power to hear the case AT ALL (other than to repeal lower federal court decisions and send the case back to the state where it originated)).
My guess.... Obolo plays his blackmail card on Roberts again, and Fag/Carpet Muncher marriages become legal.
The original writing of the Constitution was ‘historic’.
The re-writing is just dull-witted.
I predict a 7-2 ruling in favor of states being allowed to define marriage.
Who is arguing the case for Biblical, true marriage?
I hope SCOTUS is consistent and makes sure my state issued CCW permit is recognized in all 57 states. Or better yet, just rule in favor of constitutional carry, as it should be anyway.
I don’t think any one has a right to get married. What’s to stop a state from ceasing to issue marriage licenses at all?
The Supreme Court will once again prove to be unfit to rule on the Constitution they are members of the dismantle team.
The problem with the institution of marriage is that it became itself wed to government programs and the tax code. That was fine in a moral, God fearing society. But in our current immoral, secular society it leads to the perversion of the institution.
Sadly, most of the churches in America have been happy to play along with the destruction of marriage. A more appropriate response would have been to separate religious marriage from government and tax policies.
After the Obamacare ruling I have zero confidence in SCOTUS.
I’m sure Roberts, Breyer, Kagan, Sotomayor and Ginsburg will come up with some gimmick to avoid upsetting the gays and liberals.
When the legislative powers that be in this country can’t make responsible decisions regarding our national defense,then there’s no reason to believe they would do any better making decisions about something that is really not in their purview to start with.
Romans 1:..
22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools.. 25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy.
Note also that Romans 1:32 points out that those who approve of such conduct are just as guilty as those who engage in it.
The Sacrament of Marriage is clearly Religious in nature.
The Constitution prohibits the establishment of a Religion, or impede the exercise of a Religion
The court is going to discover that something that has never existed has suddenly become a constitutional right.
And people will say, yep. That’s right.
This is what happens when people unmoored from simple morality reach critical mass.
My fear is that they will be forced into more than silence. Silence is never good enough for these people. Live and let live, doesn't work with bullies, and that is what the "gay rights" movement have become, bullies.
I have been waiting for years for the first homosexual couple to present themselves to some Catholic Church and demand to be married. When refused, then the lawsuites begin; and, because this whole thing got going because of the massive number of anti-discrimination laws that have been enacted, the courts will again decide something that should have been left to individual states.
I think this is another Roe v. Wade, and 30, 50 years from now, we will still be arguing this and protesting this decision.
Give control of DC over to Putin.
Worse.
There will come a day soon when a minister who came out of the closet will be refused a job at a church. He will sue and will win. Ultimately dividing and scattering a congregation.
There will come a day soon that a man wearing a dress and a mustache will be teaching 5th grade math and there will not be anything that parents can do or say. The administration will have their hands tied.
There will come a day soon that "gay" will be part of the protected class. Discrimination of any kind will result in lawsuits, job losses, business closures and finally affirmative action for gays.
And after all these, the perverts will push, hard, for lowering the age of consent to eleven and a half years old.
Now, have a nice day.
