SCOTUS: states cannot ban same sex marriage

[Leweman]

I guess 5 unelected officials out of 300 million people making this decision is the way to go. haha. I'm actually for Gay Marriage but feel like this should be a law voted on or an amendment should be passed. Supreme Court has waaaaaay too much power for who they are.

How do you feel about Heller v. District of Columbia - also a 5-4 decision - and the two 5-4 decisions repealing campaign finance reform?

or the 5-4 decision that elected Bush?

Not good. Too much power for a small group of unaccountable, unelected officials who's decisions are based on politics and who are just as partisan as you or I on any given issue.

 

[SassyIrishLass]

So how many of you homosexuals actually think this piece of paper changes what we all know marriage to be???? LMAO You all surrendered your 10th amendments for a illusion .

SSM is an illusion

I LOVE IT! THE GUY ACROSS THE STREET JUST LOWERED HIS FLAG TO HALF MAST!

15 Reasons ‘Marriage Equality’ Is About Neither Marriage Nor Equality
Don't fall for the 'marriage equality' sales pitch. It's a deception.

Same-sex marriage is a notion that contains within itself the seeds of its own destruction. I doubt many have thought this through, with the ironic exception of the elites who have been pushing the agenda the hardest.

Most people are weary of it all and going along to get along, especially since dissent has become such a socially expensive proposition, almost overnight. That in itself should deeply concern anyone who values freedom of expression.


Sure, true believers scattered across the land really do think the entire project ends with allowing same-sex couples to marry. Most persist in the blind faith that a federal ban on the standard definition of marriage will have no negative effect on family autonomy and privacy. That’s a pipe dream.

The same-sex marriage agenda is more like a magic bullet with a trajectory that will abolish civil marriage for everyone, and in doing so, will embed central planning into American life. And that, my friends, is the whole point of it. Along with Obamacare, net neutrality, and Common Core, genderless marriage is a blueprint for regulating life, particularly family life.

The Rainbow’s Arc
Unintended consequences usually come about when we are ignorant or maybe lazy about a course of action. But we usually crash land after following an arc of logic, which in this case has gone largely undiscerned and unaddressed in the public square.

Americans are in a fog about how marriage equality will lead to more central planning and thought policing. This is partly because the media and Hollywood only provide slogans to regurgitate while academics and judges push politically correct speech codes to obey.

Let’s explore the fallout of that arc of faulty logic. Included below are some 15 of the gaping holes in the “marriage equality” reasoning that Americans have not thought through.

So?...If this guy wants to do an impression of Tibetan Monk protesting oppression by the govt of China, let him....One less radical wacko on the planet.

 

[bodecea]

ruled 5-4 !!!

Watch heads explode!!

Supreme Court Legalizes Gay Marriage Nationwide

Guess what now a state has to recognize your union.... Congrats... Fucking shame you had to piss on MY FREEDOMS to get it.

What freedoms of yours got "pissed on"? The freedom to be a jack wagon? You've still got that.

You can't cry about the system when it doesn't go your way. That's ant-American. Just take it up the ass and enjoy it

Add thinking goats can consent to legal contracts to Stephanie 's long list of retardation symptoms.

Steph, you know if we polled every person on the entire board right now as to.who is the dumbest poster, you win it in a landslide right?

 

[Luddly Neddite]

Umm....retard argument debunked: a goat cant consent to a legal contract.

Derp derp derp

You fail

Can't give consent? It's only a matter of a liberal court to judge it's okay. They said a State cannot prevent anyone from getting married to whatever they want.

That's a really stupid thing to say but hey, post a link ...

 

[Wry Catcher]

Will the Catholic Church be told they must marry gays?

No.

Agreed. Yet some organized religions already sanction SSM and like a viable political party, the Catholic Church must change with the times. Pope Francis isn't a conservative, and it's unlikely he sanctifies SSM, but he will likely minister to such couples and any children they may raise.

Have a cookie.

 

[bodecea]

Then why did you say that anger was the second step you brainless ass hat?

Go drink your Metamucil old timer and cease bothering me. Worthless troll

That's anger, the second of the five stages of grief

You're becoming annoying, I don't care if two mentally ill people want to be pretend married. It makes no difference to me. so feel free to marry your boyfriend. It's obvious you're gay

Sure I am

Only I'm not, and if I were, it's not a problem now

I think you are, your posts reek of gayness, I bet you're sitting in your chiffon gown typing away. LMAO

So...the rumors are true....you have a keen sense of Gaydar and you are not what you seem.

 

[G.T.]

should be a hell of show

Your wedding picture?

People are not going to marry their pets for marital bliss. People are going to marry their pets so they can add them to their medical insurance, Social Security benefits and other free shit. And now people who marry their pets can take them any place that forbid animals. Hotels, restaurants and any other places that discriminate against animals are going to be hit with a gigantic shitload of lawsuits for discrimination. Bring it on!!

Pets can sign legal contracts?

Another one bites the dust of insanity!

The rightwing meltdown continues, and its awesome!!

 

[WinterBorn]

The final paragraph of Justice Kennedy's argument in the Gay Marriage case:

"No union is more profound than marriage, for it embodies the highest ideals of love, fidelity, devotion, sacrifice, and family. In forming a marital union, two people become something greater than once they were. As some of the petitioners in these cases demonstrate, marriage embodies a love that may endure even past death. It would misunderstand these men and women to say they disrespect the idea of marriage. Their plea is that they do respect it, respect it so deeply that they seek to find its fulfillment for themselves. Their hope is not to be condemned to live in loneliness, excluded from one of civilization’s oldest institutions. They ask for equal dignity in the eyes of the law. The Constitution grants them that right."

Isn't that why this was a SCOTUS case to begin with. Because someone cried about the system? Hmmm weird they didn't just have to take it up the ass.

 

[hazlnut]

If you can't discriminate against same sex marriages, then you can't discriminate based on species. Liberals wave Equality flags in jubilant celebration.

A goat can't consent.

Dope.

FAIL THEAD.

 

[bodecea]

Will the Catholic Church be told they must marry gays?

Gee...I think that's in the queue right after they are FORCED to marry previously divorced people.

 

[thereisnospoon]

So they can be pretend married? LMAO

Its all over for you thumper

Why do you view this as a "win" for your own personal reasons?
This ruling was a matter of the Constitution of the US and whether or not there should be permitted conflicting rules from state to state.
Is everything on your side about picking winners and losers? Is everything about winning being "the only thing"?.....
If so ....WOW....

 

[DigitalDrifter]

No surprise, I fully expected this decision, and that it would be pretty split.
Doesn't change anything in my life, I still define a marriage as the joining of two persons of the opposite sex, and I will not personally recognize anything else as a marriage.
