Supreme Court Upholds Gay Marriage

HIGH COURT STRIKES DOWN STATE BANS ON SAME SEX MARRIAGE …

|| By FITSNEWS || By a 5-4 vote, the U.S. Supreme Court has struck down state-level bans on same-sex marriages – arguing such prohibitions violate the constitutional rights of homosexual Americans.

“They ask for equal dignity in the eyes of the law,” Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote for the majority. “The Constitution grants them that right.”

We agree …

The ruling ends a flurry of recent legal activity on the issue – and resolves conflicting lower court rulings which alternately struck down and upheld the right of states to define marriage within their borders.

Last July, the U.S. fourth circuit court of appeals in Richmond, Virginia struck down Virginia’s gay marriage ban – a decision the U.S. Supreme Court refused to overturn last month.  The high court’s ruling – or non-ruling – opened the floodgates, with every state in the fourth circuit (except South Carolina) permitting same sex unions.

However a sixth circuit ruling upholding the constitutionality of the bans forced the justices to take a more definitive position.

This website’s view on marriage has been made abundantly clear on repeated occasions: No government – local, state or federal – should be able to ban (or compel) marriage: Gay, straight or plural. That’s because marriage isn’t a government institution, it’s a religious one – meaning the question should be left to individual congregations.  As for civil unions, we believe the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment compels government to acknowledge homosexual, heterosexual or plural unions.

“This issue is so simple: If you can find a church to marry you, then government shouldn’t block your union,” we wrote last fall.  “Nor should it force any church to perform a ceremony in contravention of its religious beliefs.”

Indeed …

Unfortunately – as we’re seeing in Hawaii – an effort is already underway to punish those congregations which choose not to perform same-sex marriages.

Make no mistake: We will strenuously oppose such attempts to erode religious freedom every bit as vigorously as we supported the right of gay people to get married.

I’ve been saying this for years. Why should heterosexuals be the only people forced to sift through a bunch of legal mumbo jumbo to legally separate when their loveless marriage has become too much to shoulder.

I’ve read that in the countries that already allow gay marriage, only about 1% of gays have married.
Maybe, they’re smarter than straight people…

Scalia HOMERUN!

In his dissent on the gay marriage ruling, Justice Scalia rips the majority for its pretension and egoism, but he also is dismissive of its East Coast, Ivy League, New York City composition, calling the court a “select, patrician, highly unrepresentative panel of nine”:

Judges are selected precisely for their skill as lawyers; whether they reflect the policy views of a particular constituency is not (or should not be) relevant. Not surprisingly then, the Federal Judiciary is hardly a cross-section of America. Take, for example, this Court, which consists of only nine men and women, all of them successful lawyers who studied at Harvard or Yale Law School. Four of the nine are natives of New York City. Eight of them grew up in east- and west-coast States. Only one hails from the vast expanse in-between. Not a single Southwesterner or even, to tell the truth, a genuine Westerner (California does not count). Not a single evangelical Christian (a group that comprises about one quarter of Americans), or even a Protestant of any denomination. The strikingly unrepresentative character of the body voting on today’s social upheaval would be irrelevant if they were functioning as judges, answering the legal question whether the American people had ever ratified a constitutional provision that was understood to proscribe the traditional definition of marriage. But of course the Justices in today’s majority are not voting on that basis; they say they are not. And to allow the policy question of same-sex marriage to be considered and resolved by a select, patrician, highly unrepresentative panel of nine is to violate a principle even more fundamental than no taxation without representation: no social transformation without representation.

Sorry…you are correct. I meant to infer the law of the land prior to Loving. It was incorrectly included in my list.

That said, Citizens United is terrible. I just would refrain from calling it the “worst.” In the end, its “business as usual” and the only way to synthesize what the court has done is to simply scratch your head and remain confused.

Citizens United is the only decision I know of (not saying much) that will lead to corrupting the system at a much faster pace. Greed dominates. He who has the gold makes the rules.

Leftwing greed? How can one even respond to that?

Impotence at the ballot box? Who’s the president?

In the course of one week the Confederate flag has garnered national attention (not in a good way) and is properly under attack as a symbol long ago co-opted by racists. The governor, both U.S. senators and a majority of the SC senate have turned against it.
Obamacare subsidies have been approved by the Supreme Court and marriage for everyone has triumphed over anti-gay bigotry. It should dawn on some that the so-called “leftwing” is not the element on the wrong side of history. Why is America great? Because it is a continuing tale of progress — often long, slow, painful and cruel — but progress nevertheless. You can’t get the genii back in the bottle. Times change.

Hi Rocky! In a lot of ways, this may be a blesding for fiscal conservatives. In 2012, a good friend who worked in an office environment for a large, multi-national corporation told me that a lot of gays (men and women) in his office voted either Libertarian (which I also did) or held their nose and voted for 0bama. Their political leanings were actually mostly conservative, with some staunchly pro-2A, but yhey just couldn’t find it in their hearts to vote for a candidate and party that insisted on treating them like dog shit. Who could blame them? Hopefully, for the most part, today’s decision will weaken the whole “gay” thing as a banner issue for so-callex conservative candidates and they will be less focused on bashing gays and more on less government and more liberty for us all, as they should be. They just might pick up a few votes along the way.

If she gives you any static, or fails to do it, don’t marry her. If she tries to sit in your lap while you’re watching the game, or tries to get your attention any other way, before it’s over, don’t marry her.

After the game, tell her you’re going “out” and you’ll be back “in about an hour” – if she doesn’t say something like “ok, dear – love you..” don’t marry her.

In the divorce of a lesbian couple, at least a woman will get fucked in Family Court – now they will know how men feel in Family Court – welcome to the world of Family Court equality!!!!

So cam someone tell me how to define adultery for a lesbian or gay couple??

Will they now let daughters marry their moms or sons marry their dads or even straight moms and dads marry their straight sons or daughters to allow kids to get better benefits for their parents or vice versa.

Reply
Jack June 26, 2015 at 2:40 pm

I know this will be over your head. Defining adultery for a lesbian or gay couple is very complex, so listen very carefully and I will take it slow:
“Having sex with someone other than your spouse.”

CorruptionInColumbia June 26, 2015 at 11:34 am

Don’t forget divorce and eligibility to receive charges and sanctions by the CDV industry, too.

I never understood why the folks that despise gays so much, would want to deny them these things the rest of us have “enjoyed” for so long. :-D

So some guy, writing some letters and chapters of a book, probably 100 years after the death of Jesus, should be viewed as the word of Jesus? Sometimes it’s the book that needs editing, or re-interpretation.

Jack June 26, 2015 at 1:39 pm

Yea the bible says the only basis for man to divorce his wife is infidelity. It provides no basis for a women to divorce her husband. It also provides if you get divorced and remarried for any other reason you are living I adultery. The punishment is death. But hey I guess you can ignore that one, you would have to kick to many people out of your church not to. That makes you have ceased to be a Christian, however.

Hitler had no problem with homosexuality, much like Obama. Hitler had homosexuals in high levels of his regime.

Truth is — we never really know anyone save ourself. We don’t even truly understand ourselves, because we have yet to figure out how the brain works. We are probably the only species who spends so much time trying to figure how does our brain work? How does that affect our life? How much knowledge can the brain retain? What interferes with retention? An endless list of questions on how the brain works. Is it nature or nurture?

How many people are gay that we interact with on a regular basis through visits to restaurants, grocery stores, work place and beyond. The only thing this changes is the fact it is legal to think and act in accordance with ones own beliefs.

Will there be problems? Maybe. I doubt it. The problems have already manifest themselves and that is why the laws are changing. The biggest problem is for those who prefer heterosexual relationship. I too prefer them, because I prefer grandchildren and legacy. That in itself is selfish. Above all the things I would wish for my children — happiness.

I don’t know how to explain some of these things that are happening. Honestly, I was probably 20 when I realized that same sex couples really existed. I thought it was something made up. When I did realize it, I thought odd. Then as time moved on, I got to know some of them and I thought — they are really not a lot different with the exception of sexual preference. My sampling was limited, but enough that I can respect their rights as individuals.

With an open mind — peace can exist.

True Christian churches will be destroyed by this ruling, if the law the SCOTUS created is enforced.

If you don’t understand that, you are not smart enough to debate the concept of civil rights or the forced redefining of marriage by the courts.
