MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — Alabama became the latest state to see its ban on gay marriage fall to a federal court ruling Friday, as the issue of same-sex marriage heads to the U.S. Supreme Court.
U.S. District Callie V.S. Granade ruled in favor of two Mobile women who sued to challenge Alabama's refusal to recognize their 2008 marriage performed in California. The ruling is the latest in a string of wins for advocates of marriage rights. Judges have also struck down bans in several other Southern states, including the Carolinas, Florida, Mississippi and Virginia. The U.S. Supreme Court announced this month that it will take up the issue of whether gay couples have a fundamental right to marry and if states can ban such unions.

There is no right of government to redefine marriage against the will of the people.
Seriously?
They polished them up and put make up on them for the court case.
Yes.
We could save billions by eliminating legislators and the Congress, etc.
Judges are quicker and cheaper, evidently.
Apparently that’s an old pic. The article says they have an 8 yr old son “together”. Physically impossible.
Unfortunately that’s true. And the will of the people is of no account in this brave new world.
It’s becoming more and apparent that states should start the process of succession if this judicial tyranny continues.
The states allowed a monster to grow as did the people.
James Madison Federalist No. 39, January 1788
That was before the Civil War and Reconstruction.
And? It was written by the creator of the Constitution. I believe that his opinion oand vision trumps Lincoln’s.
Left Wing Loonie must be the main qualification to be a judge these days.
Sure looks that way. Of course, the left also “judge shops”.
Just keep re-enacting it. Marriage is not a Federal matter.
I’m referring to the Fourteenth Amendment. State sovereignty has never been the same since then. We just observed the anniversary of one such example.
“I believe that his opinion and vision trumps Lincoln’s”
The states supporting Lincoln’s vision funded a more powerful army than the states supporting the Madison vision.
He who has the gold, or the more powerful army, makes the rules.
In today’s America there isn’t one state willing to oppose the national authority and reclaim its sovereignty. Apparently Madison’s vision is dead.
In matters of power, whether temporal or eternal, it is best to commend all to the Creator, who will most perfectly exercise his prerogatives amidst mortals. Though outward appearances may addend otherwise, the enemy is “pwned.”
I’m waiting for gun rights activists to use this same strategy to make states recognize concealled carry licenses from other states.
It's time to recognize the horrible mistake of the 17th Amendment and be rid of it.
History will not look well upon a people who gaffed off their responsibility and quietly submitted to tyranny.
