"This case has the potential to be revolutionary," said David Garrow, a law professor at Emory University in Atlanta. "If they come down in favor of the plaintiffs, the word 'landmark' is an understatement." The Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts will rule shortly on whether the state should grant marriage licences to seven same-sex couples.

The "test" for marriage should be can, not will, but can, it result in off-spring from the union of the principle partners. If the answer is no, it's a civil contract, nothing more.

Since things have to keep falling til they get to rock bottom, this will be a shock but; it will also serve as the cattle prod on America's ash that is absolutely necessary to change things. Hang on gang but; don't get discouraged. We will win. This will be looked back at as a turning point.

to be honest, I hope the gays win the case. its time to force this issue down people throats and make them decide. since the supreme court decision, the republicans seem frozen on this issue, not able to give a direct answer as to whether they are against gay marriage (Santorum aside), as if somehow a decision by 6 blacked robed feeble senior citizens gives credence to the idea of gay marriage and prevents people from saying its wrong. let the courts force this issue on a public unwilling to accept it, and lets see what happens at the ballot box.

"Massachusetts High Court" ruling. Now, there's a no-brainer. I wonder what the odds are on this pending decision?

The Boston Globe officially endorsed homosexual marriage

Well, I guess that does it then. Besides, what judge wouldn't want to be on the cutting edge of social change (destruction)?

Here's the real kicker. If the SJC of Massachusetts rules that gay marriage is legal, then the other 49 states most likely will have to recognize the marriage (Article IV).

If this happens, I'm sure praying that President Bush will wake up and realize that we need the Federal Marriage Amendment.

The smart money is the Massachusetts Supremes will say YES to same sex marriage. After all look at what the SCON in Nevada got away with. And why not? Its precisely the move elite opinion favors.

If the ruling is in favor of homosexual marriage (which I fully expect, being from this shit-hole of a state), then you can add this to the long list of why the Islam religion hates America and its culture.

Once the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court approves gay marriage, how long before it approves pedophilia? 2 years? 3 years? Personally, I'd say 5 years, tops.
