Forever, if left up to the MSM.
Why can’t a state simply take the position that the federal government has no jurisdiction over the definition of marriage in that state?
I don’t see why NC doesn’t just say, “Come down and marry them yourselves, judge. We’re not going to enforce it.”
The voice of the VOTERS are being quashed by a few judges.
Heartbreaking that our country is being run by oligarchical totalitarian fascists. Leftists have crippled the legislative branch, overtake and rule through the executive and judicial branches. Welcome to tyranny.
When the highest court in the land goes off the reservation and declares
State law unconstitutional, and State constitutions unconstitutional,
where does one go to address the issue?
The SCOTUS is not the final say in any law, and they are not our rulers.
We the People are their rulers! And 1% does not overrule our Constitution either.
“Macho macho man”
What’s more is I don’t see anything in the National Constitution regarding marriages, marriage is something that I believe the founders expected the States, and the People, to handle on their own.
So if some court—municipal, state, federal—rules that the sky is pink; do those who correctly point out that the sky is blue risk being sanctioned?
Further, if some court—municipal, state, federal—rules that paedophilia is OK; are responsible adults expected to stand idly by while perverts ravage children?
The “legal” system in the US has been insulated from the consequences of its actions for too long.
How long will the media and this society contort itself for the benefit of 1.7% of its population?
It’s not about the 1.7% - they’re just a convenient spearpoint to attack the Christian foundations of our society.
You go to heaven and ask for judgment on a wicked and ungodly nation, lest all be consumed. Alternatively you could ask for an apology on behalf of Sodom, Gomorrah, Jerusalem, and other cities that were judged. America has cursed God.
Because the liberals, through the judiciary, have decided that we should have 50 state homosexual marriage. A state will not be permitted to take such a position, because eventually all states will be sued over marriage, or be subject to a Supreme Court ruling on the subject.
In Kansas, a gay couple has already rushed to apply for a marriage license and been denied.
They will go to court...and barring a miracle, the Kansas law will be declared unconstitutional by some judge.
True. Since it has become a mainstream legal theory, that it is discriminatory to limit marriage to one man and one woman, the Kansas law will be overturned eventually.
Is there a herding instinct among judges? That judges are afraid of being out of the mainstream liberal orthodoxy on a subject? It has become a tenet of legal thought in this country that we should have homosexual marriage. So perhaps judges are afraid of simply ruling that it is up to states and the people how marriage should be defined. Instead they have chosen to change the definition of marriage.
I am troubled by this rush to homosexual marriage because of the legal reasoning used. We are using absurd reasoning in my opinion, to arrive at the perceived right to homosexual marriage.
Also, judges are changing the definition of marriage. They are changing the definition of a legal term. To me, this has scary implications for other legal cases, apart from homosexual marriage.
If we have set legal precedent that we can change the definition of legal terms to make liberals happy, I fear this technique will be used in other legal areas too.
“...I believe the founders expected the States, and the People, to handle on their own.”
Honestly, I don’t think our founders could have ever imagined that “their” nation would ever be led by such corrupt, vile, filthy, and disgusting people. These are the men that committed their very lives to one another to fight for freedom against tyranny. Their fight was not to defend psychological disorder.
I don’t think they could imagine men wanting to not be discreet about their private matters such as buggery.
The system is broken. We have to fix it. With 200+ years of use and the fall of historic republics, I would think some genius would have projected this and recommended some changes in the foundation.
The 6th Circuit is more conservative than most. They very well may preserve the state’s right to decide what marriage is. That will practically force the SC to hear the case.
I think judges are afraid of having their decision overturned by a higher court...and the writing is on the wall, a higher court somewhere along the line will rule in favor of gay marriage in every case.
It has been a lightening fast turn of events. Remember even BHO opposed it as a candidate, but later had an epiphany.
