State number 8 on the list of appeal court decisions in favor of gay marriage. That's pretty heavy momentum for gay marriage. I don't see how it's remotely possibly for the SCOTUS to turn down national gay marriage at this point.

Utah
Oklahoma
Texas
Kentucky
Virginia
Ohio
Michigan
and now Arkansas

I have read it. Right down to the 9th and 10th Amendments, sport-o.

Nowhere in there is any expressed or implied power for the feds to be involved in marriage.

I read it and there is no mention of a Right to pack fudge. .

What the SCOTUS needs to do is recognize States's Rights concerning this issue and overturn the decisions of the gay, Federal activists that disregarded the will and vote of the People. The People, that is, who literally voted in a Democratic manner. The will of the one should not overrule the will of the many where the results of an honest and legal vote expressed the will of the people of those States.

My dad used to call 'em "pearl divers." I call them mentally ill.

We are currently living under the tyranny of the Judiciary and the will of the people doesn't mean squat. .

As is the case with all citizens, same-sex couples are citizens of the United States first and foremost and residents of their respective states subordinate to that. The civil rights of same-sex couples are safeguarded by the Federal Constitution, where the states lack the authority to deny American citizens their civil liberties, including the right to equal protection of the law.

Sorry I don't support the idea that a majority has the right oppress a minority out of hate.

No one is denying homos their civil liberties.

They are free to marry members of the opposite sex just like everyone else..

And have equal protection under the law to do so. .

Nobody is oppressing anyone. Nobody is hating.

Because it is not a right and it is not about love.

Why are you progressives such suckers for disingenuous sob stories?

The United States is a Constitutional Republic, not a democracy – the ‘will of the people’ has never trumped the civil rights of American citizens, where one’s civil liberties are not subject to majority rule.
