Absolutely. The federal government has been trampling all over them lately
Yeah, that damn federal government. We all thought when they got done in Selma, Alabama in the 1960's, that would be the end of it, but it looks like they're starting up again.
When are those bastards going to leave us states alone so we can practice as much institutionalized bigotry as we want?
Most blacks hate it when people try to align their heroic civil rights struggle with the gay perverts agenda.
Obviosly the Liberals don't.they wanted to be able to make burial, health care and other decisions, while enjoying such benefits as jointly filing taxes.
I don't understand WHY anyone would want to take this away from them. Is it that much to ask for? No.
Because the Bible says so.
Who cares about the US Constitution?
Mob rule??
Where in the U.S. is this happening???
If we allow majority rule we end up with mob rule.
We are not a democracy, we are a nation of laws as a republic.
Mob rule??

The gay couples weren't asking for the right in the lawsuit to marry, which the Montana Constitutional defines as between a man and a woman. Rather they wanted to be able to make burial, health care and other decisions, while enjoying such benefits as jointly filing taxes.
Right. The judge should have just made up law right on the spot.Mean spirited bastards.
Gay rights are in the Constitution?Because the Bible says so.
Who cares about the US Constitution?
Where in the Constitution does it distinguish between gay and straight?
Where is there any mention of marriage or a definition of it under equal protection of the law?
The US Constitution is a document founded on the rights of the people and tells the government WHAT IT CAN NOT DO.
The judge ruled correctly.
If you want to change the law, there is a legislative process for that.

you have way too much time on your handsI just read the case and these are the facts:
The State of Montana grants same sex couples the exact same benefits as straight couples in all government jobs.
The Montana Supreme Court, where this case is now headed on appeal, ruled that the state university system's past policy of barring any benefits to same sex couples that straight couples get violated the equal protection of the Montana Constitution.
The judge in his ruling noted sympathy for the same sex couples but noted that the Constitutional Marriage Provision barred a ruling in their favor.
Bottom line and my take is the separation of powers does not allow the judge to make any other ruling.
"This court finds plaintiffs proposals, although appealing, to be unprecendented and uncharted in Montana law".
A conservative Judge in favor of the plaintiffs but going by the law as it should be done.

Unlike you I take the time to research and know the facts.
You put mouth in motion before brain in gear.
Most reactionists do.

You on the other hand, study, research, decipher, analyze and then still get it wrong.
Where in the Constitution does it distinguish between gay and straight?
Where is there any mention of marriage or a definition of it under equal protection of the law?
"When sexuality finds overt expression in intimate conduct with another person, the conduct can be but one element in a personal bond that is more enduring. The liberty protected by the Constitution allows homosexual persons the right to make this choice."
These matters, involving the most intimate and personal choices a person may make in a lifetime, choices central to personal dignity and autonomy, are central to the liberty protected by the Fourteenth Amendment. At the heart of liberty is the right to define ones own concept of existence, of meaning, of the universe, and of the mystery of human life. Beliefs about these matters could not define the attributes of personhood were they formed under compulsion of the State. Ibid.
Persons in a homosexual relationship may seek autonomy for these purposes, just as heterosexual persons do.

Correct, in this case telling the government including state governments it cant discriminate against same-sex couples simply because they are homosexual, as prohibited by the Court in Lawrence.
If we allow majority rule we end up with mob rule.
We are not a democracy, we are a nation of laws as a republic.
Correct again. And the majority of the citizen of Montana do not have the authority to violate the civil rights of same sex couples the rule of law protects all Americans from the tyranny of the majority.
Mob rule??

I'm white and I hate it: What did people with Negroid features ever do to be deserved to be compared with Queers?
Blacks aren't behavorial deviants, they are simply carrying more melatonin.
