From the article: "It has similarly declined to grant certiorari to review such judgments without any regard for the people who approved those laws in popular referendums or elected the representatives who voted for them," wrote Thomas. "In this case, the Court refuses even to grant a temporary stay when it will resolve the issue at hand in several months."

The Scotus truly is drunk on its own power

"The Supreme Court refused to stay the lower court ruling-"

And this tells you exactly how the court is going to rule on this issue.

Mark Levin’s idea for a convention of the states under Article V of the Constitution may be the remedy for Federal courts’ intrusion into the area of marriage contracts, historically a state responsibility.

Well, “the states” sure aren’t doing a lot to fight back in a way that pokes a finger in the feds’ eye.

How about some state just saying “no”, and daring the feds to enforce it?

The move toward dictatorship continues.

In the end, it doesn't even matter which flavor dictator is at the top, there will be a dictator.

You can tell the fix is in wrt gay marriage in this Supreme Court. Which case did they give certiorari to, but the one in which gay couples are appealing a lower court ruling upholding the man-woman marriage laws of certain states.

Was this a voted on decision by the full court? Or was it a situation where the individual justice who makes temporary decisions(on cases slated for the court) on a particular day, dropped this bomb?

Time to resurrect the 10th amendment.

A clear view into the crystal ball. Rampant government endorsed homosexuality, manipulating the destruction of Israel, robbing the earnings and property from the productive to disperse among the slothful; all evidence of the implementation of right for wrong.

God owes an apology to Sodom and Gomorrah if He doesn’t thumb our nation like a bug.

When the President behaves lawlessly, contemptuous of the Constitution, we seek redress in the Congress.

When The President and the Congress behave lawlessly, contemptuous of the Constitution, we seek redress in the Courts.

When the President, the Congress, and the Courts behave lawlessly, contemptuous of the Constitution, we seek redress, ... where?

So let me seeif I have this right...

The State law on the books (aka The Will Of The People) states that homosexual marriage is not recognized in their state.

A single Federal activist judge legislated from the bench, overturned said law (aka The Will Of The People) and is making recognition of homosexual marriage compulsory.

And the SCROTUS states they will not interfere with their boyfriend in black robes?

Am I reading this right?

I love this man. I remember back when he was fighting for his nomination and some bimbo claimed something about a pubic hair in a coke can. I was in the waiting room of a "big box" store when they confirmed him. I yelled, "YES". The looks I got were priceless.

Clarence Thomas is a true Constitutionalist and should be held as the example for all blacks, more importantly, all Americans. I often wonder what he thought of Justice Robert's erroneous judgment regarding Obambicare being a tax, when the legislation clearly stipulated it was a penalty/fine.

14th Amendment - the gift that keeps on giving. That, and “the General Welfare”.

“On Jan. 23, U.S. District Judge Callie Granade ruled that Alabama laws limiting marriage to the union of one man and one woman violated the 14th Amendment guarantee of equal protection of the law.”

It’s amazing what passes for legal reasoning with the lunatics that call themselves judges these days.

Strong evidence that the end of the Shemitta year that begins at sundown, March 21 will probably bring the beginning of Daniel’s “70th week.”

John Roberts has turned out to be a real loser of a Chief Justice. And where is Alito on this?

As this country becomes more and more perverted, the 14th Amendment plays right into the hands of the perverted. Pretty much allows for anything.

Just posted this on another thread. I think it applies here, too:

I think most everyone misses the point about “gay marriage.”

1. Official Washington is a massive collection of lawyers.

2. Lawyers are always looking for ways to increase their bottom line.

3. “Gay marriage” is a bonanza for the legal crowd, from divorce lawyers to estate lawyers and everyone in between.

4. Always follow the money.
