I told everyone the chance the court would turn it down was very small. Thankfully this Court realized its Constitutional Limits and refused to go beyond them.

"People have a right through the ballot box to change the constitution" is what I hear the opion says.
Hmmmm, I guess the arguments around whether the ballot initiative amended the constitution or revised it will be carried further if possible. Otherwise gay marriage proponents are going to have to play the ballot initiative game until they win...then the opponents of that can play the ballot intitiative game until they win...then...
I always thought amendments came through the process of a constitutional convention---that is until I moved out here to the liberal west coast.
go figure
We obviously look at it differently. Since marriage is a right (as ruled by SCOTUS) then denying any two people of consenting age that right is not something that can or should be voted upon.Ravi--
That, too, is bigotted.
The point is that when a minority forces their will on the majority we have tyranny of the minority. Despite all the hysterics, the gay community is nothing more than another minority - among many in our pluralistic society. They deserve nothing more than anyone else and certainly do not deserve to change our society or laws to suit their narrow purposes.
This will probably result in more screaming and hand wringing on this board. So be it.

Let me know when they stop telling my religion they cannot marry gays, then I see equality.
I'm a liberal and, like President Obama, I'm against Gay marriage.
Homosexuality is a deformity. A birth defect.
Prove me wrong.
I don't even want to see that placard in someone's windshield!!.....if its a deformity then they are considered HANDICAPED....so are they then protected under "THE AMERICAN WITH DISABILITIES ACT?"
better watch it Sinatra.....you might get Neg. Rept......Pussyboy dont like seeing himself cry.....for Brittney to ....I'm a liberal and, like President Obama, I'm against Gay marriage.

Difference, the law doesn't respect those marriages, and yes, many can use peyote, they are just smart enough to instead make money on casinos instead of wasting time being messed up now.
So, until the law respects the gay marriages performed by churches that want to do them, it is not equality, it is control of religious belief.

do you really believe that to get married in the USofA you need to get married by a church? or are you saying, that churches must be an equal opportunity organization?
KK.....the fact is........marriage is ONLY an issue because the government stepped into religious matters. the government has zero say in marriage, IMO. the government created a contract, a man made contract and called it..........marriage, a marriage license. that is one of the most ironic and idiotic concepts that exists. marriage is not a contract, especially given your religious hatred for those that do not want to marry homosexuals. the government should have no say in marriage, period.

Actually, it's even worse than that.the government created a contract, a man made contract and called it..........marriage, a marriage license. that is one of the most ironic and idiotic concepts that exists. marriage is not a contract.....
You're joking that it didn't have to do with sexual behavior.Yes...That case had to do with ethnicity, not sexual behavior.have you read loving v. virginia?
But the plaintiff didn't question the validity of the statutory nexus in the marriage, just whether it could be denied on the basis of ethnicity.

Let me know when the blacks and the mormons are the "majority" and then we will talk.

Hate to break it to your dumb ass, but blacks and Mormons were not the only ones that voted for it RETARD. By the way, haven't you been informed? Mormons, according to this board are almost universally white. And last I checked a religion was not a race except for Jews.
