"The conclusion reached by this Court is that Tennesseans have been deemed by the U.S. Supreme Court to be incompetent to define and address such keystone/central institutions such as marriage, and, thereby, at minimum, contested divorces," Atherton wrote in his decision last week.

"With the U.S. Supreme Court having defined what must be recognized as a marriage, it would appear that Tennessee’s judiciary must now await the decision of the U.S. Supreme Court last to what is not a marriage, or better stated, when a marriage is no longer a marriage," he added.

Seems reasonable to me.

The left wing goons of the SCOTUS made this mess.

Massive civil disobedience in trying to keep with their tyrannical decrees.

LOL

I’m going to marry my cat because now, according to a court, “it’s all about love.”

[fwdude]

It’s funny, but he is exactly right. We have no idea what marriage is - we have to wait for our “betters” to tell us.

[onedoug]

SCOTUS: Jail this smarty-pants judge!

[Tzimisce]

At least someone is fighting back.

[Tzimisce]

But these people should be allowed to marry other people even though they’re married.

If you think your cat loves you are setting yourself up for a big disappointment.

[DannyTN]

I think the judge is kind of being an a**hole but I like it.

It’s an interesting approach. You want to override us on marriage, fine, here you take divorce too.

[fwdude]

LOL! Point taken. He licked me, does that count?

[Leep]

Can it be taxed? I thought that was the litmus test for all SC decisions?

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Excellent. Good for him.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

I wonder if I could get the married tax rate by marrying my dog. I love him.

[big'ol_freeper]

Spot on

[cherry]

remarkably reasonable....

you know what we need?....we need a SC decision stating that two hetero's can marry....

[WayneS]

That’s good stuff. This judge “gets it”.

[mad_as_he$$]

No! Around here you can pay for that(but it costs extra). Your cat is just pre-tasting you for when you die and cannot serve it any more.

[fwdude]

Why not? Just go to your local liberal county clerk and tell him “love wins.” Isn’t that what they’re always chanting?

[Boogieman]

Ha... brilliant “troll” decision by the Tennessee judge.

Gives me an idea... a “judicial strike”. Refuse to make all sorts of decisions and tell people to appeal it to the SC. If they want to decide what is best for the rest of us, let them get down in the weeds and deal with every little piddly tort until they are buried in paper.
