Clarence Thomas Signals Willingness to Overturn Obergefell v. Hodges

[Coyote]

Good for Clarance Thomas. Marriage laws have always been under stare authority.

Not really. Interracial marriage isn’t. Nor are the benefits given by the federal government to married couples. We don’t have a patchwork of laws where marriages recognized in one state aren’t in another.

 

[Coyote]

I do not hate gay people. I could cite example but why bother? But their marriages are not marriages.

Some people refuse to recognize marriage between different religions or races, and it doesn’t really matter, as long as they aren’t enacting laws that discriminate. It is an individual thing and if you don’t want to recognize it that’s your freedom.

 

[rightwinger]

Nope. And if you're going to cite the law, realize at one time the law in the US and many other places in the world stated you could own human beings.

The law is not always correct.

Doesnt make your relationship any more valid than anyone else’s

The law you celebrate is based on a hatred of gays and the validity of their relationships

 

[BS Filter]

How do you have a marriage recognized in one state and prohibited in another?

People cross state lines in their lifetimes

Gee, I don't know. It's only been that way since colonial days. Maybe it's kinda like a driver's license. What do you think?

I didn't say anything about recognizing. How about age, waiting period, fees, marrying a cousin, etc. All different from state to state.

A Drivers License from one state is recognized in all

Marriage License is the same

Marriage License is the same

Well, there ya go. You just answered your own question. I'm proud of you.

 

[rightwinger]

Well, there ya go. You just answered your own question. I'm proud of you.

Yup

 

[BS Filter]

Yup

By the same token, if it's illegal for two queers to get married in their state, they can go to another state and get married, then go back home legally married. How gay is that? What a great country.

I believe marriage is a male and female. Nothing to do with hating queers.

Yes, but not marriage itself. A person legally married in one state is recognized in all and no state can ban interracial marriage or likewise, same sex. Ultimately, all marriages recognized by the state and federal government are civil.

Agree. So no one is going to lose their "rights". See, you've just affirmed that the left is hyperventilating over nothing.

How about each state vote on abortion and queer marriage. Let the people of each state decide. Democracy.

Then that is who you should marry

You shouldn’t dictate who others are allowed to love

Let the people vote on what rights others are allowed to have?

 

[Oddball]

This is a federal issue. It wouldnt be if the greedy ass govt didnt get involved with marriage.

Exactly.

Abolish statutory marriage, and this all goes away.

So you're okay with someone marrying their brother.

 

[BS Filter]

You mean you don't believe in democracy?

 

[rightwinger]

You mean you don't believe in democracy?

Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what’s for supper

 

[BackAgain]

Cry it all out, crybaby.

The gay marriage case will go to SCOTUS. And the bought and paid for right wing crazies will overturn the ruling.

JUsT lEAvE iT tO the StAtEs

I know the thought of any interference in your lifestyle scares you. But you can relax. Nobody is coming for your gay rights. You and your boyfriend are safe.

 

[BackAgain]

That’s what I thought about Roe…but if precedent no longer matters, then why wouldn’t it happen? This court’s conservatives have no problem taking away established rights.

Precedent still matters. Bad precedent never should. The court legislated an alleged right to slaughter the innocent unborn. The court may fix that error.
