Gay Marriage: Another broken Obama campaign promise

[talksalot]

It would still be a state issue if Prop 8 were overturned. CA's law violated the US Constitution by taking away a right already granted in CA.

Actually, there was no such right. In fact, a former proposition had already explicitly outlawed gay marriage. I know the will of the people means nothing to libs though.

Nonsense.

The will of the people means a great deal to liberals.

But the people are subject to the rule of law, as are their elected representatives. Consequently, one’s civil liberties are not subject to majority rule, the majority doesn’t determine who will or will not have his rights.

Concocting "fundamental rights" has gotten out of control. The "union" of two men or two women and eventually a group of men and women is not and never will be a real "marriage."

It's been all downhill since the courts invented the "right" to commit murder of the unborn.

America needs to wake up and put an end to the invention of outlandish "fundamental rights." It's crazy.

In Tha eyes of Tha law it is beginning to be. And all Tha better for our country and those of us who really believe in equal rights for all law-abiding, tax-paying citizens....instead of just thinking Tha Constitution and Tha Bill of Rights only apply to people they approve of.

Tell that to President Romney.

‘Fundamental right’ refers to the level of judicial review a given law is subject to by the courts when that law seeks to restrict or prohibit the exercising of rights in the context of substantive due process. These rights concern the individual, his privacy, and his innate right to self-determination, free from unwarranted government intrusion or interference.

The right to procreate or not, the right to marry, the right to privacy, and the right to freely express oneself as an individual are fundamental aspects of personal liberty enshrined in the Constitution, and the greater burden is consequently placed on the state when it attempts to limit these rights.

‘Real marriage’ is whatever the state determines it to be. And however defined, the state must allow all citizens equal access to marriage law, absent a compelling, objective reason supported by documented facts and evidence. Since laws prohibiting same-sex couples access to marriage law are predicated on animus toward gays only, with no documented, objective facts in support, such laws are consequently un-Constitutional.
