Supreme Court Denies Request to Revisit Same-Sex Marriage Decision.

QUESTION, Can a woman in a house hold with ONLY one AVERAGE working member, who Brings home( after taxes) under 60 thousand $$ a year
AFFORD to stay home and make sure the family has Good food to eat, Decent health care,& Housing?

Not today, but if we don’t start honoring women who stay home and take care of the children in the home front, our society is doomed. Also, we are already below replacement rate for our population.

 

[Leo123]

Women were forced to work so a family could survive. That started about the time the demise of unions. Attack the wages and benefits unions provide and you get what we have now. Blaming feminism is simply false.

Women started working during the War.

Because their husbands were at war, genius.

The stupidity on this board is almost unbearable.

 

[Leo123]

Most of those are fake, too.

Marriage is for men and women how is that ‘fake?’ What a stupid argument.

You would know.

Id be for abolishing the concept of marriage to make evetything a civil union. That would settle the issue. And im traditionally married and a christian.

Civil unions are for homosexuals. Marriage between a man and woman should receive priority because only a man and a woman can create new humans and raise them to become part of society.

Well less and less men and women are getting married and even less are having kids. So the problem may very well take care of itself.

Women don't make men run the gauntlet for sex anymore. Feminism did nothing for them other than to make them a warm place to put it for men. Men and women are different and to think they can be equal in all categories is just stupidity. Since women seem unable and/or reticent to preserve their elevated position in humanity as life givers, men need to step up and denounce the free sex before marriage offered by women today.

Good luck on that one. Youre gonna need it. A very positive trend is people are waiting much younger to get married. Gives them a chance to mature. 20 isnt a good idea for marriage. 29 is.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

The MAGAts are so proud of themselves to trot out the civil union idea... as if this country didn't already litigate the "separate but equal" idea.

Sometimes they act like uncontacted tribespeople given a quiz that asks them how to solve problems in society. Just, complete, abject ignorance of all of American history.

We are all going to need good luck if this trend continues. It's better for a woman and the health of the children she births if she is younger. By age 35, women's eggs are really geriatric. She can be a homemaker until the kids are up and out then embark on a career. Children are the most important 'product' of our society but we constantly denigrate the very humans that birth them and raise them.

Then these things will need to happen.

1) much cheaper childcare
2) much cheaprr health care costs
3) cheaper food
4) longer maternity leave

T hats just a start

Meh, it's just pretend marriage

What would you know about anything????

 

[frigidweirdo]

You never answered the question, frigidweirdo, when did the American people adopt a provision in our Constitution forbidding distinctions based upon "sex", and what is its specific wording?

Good.

Once the people coached up by the corrupt conservative judges bring a better lawsuit, this court will take this up.

What is so obnoxious about our Supreme Court refusing to hear the appeal in the Kim Davis case is, its refusal lets stand a $100,000 damages verdict against her, plus $260,000 for attorney’s fees, for allegedly violating the law in 2015 by refusing to issue a marriage license to a Kentucky same-sex couple, when Kentucky’s constitution would be violated by issuing such a license.

In 2004, the people of Kentucky, acting under the Tenth Amendment’s reserved powers of the States, adopted an amendment to their Constitution that made it unconstitutional for the state to recognize or perform same-sex marriages. The referendum was approved by 75% of the voters.

The text of the Amendment reads as follows:

“Only a marriage between one man and one woman shall be valid or recognized as a marriage in Kentucky. A legal status identical or substantially similar to that of marriage for unmarried individuals shall not be valid or recognized.”

Shortly before Kim Davis began refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, the U.S. Supreme Court issued its ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges, reversing the Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit which upheld, on November 6, 2014, Kentucky’s ban on same-sex marriage.

What is stunning to realize is, nowhere in the majority opinion, Obergefell v. Hodges, written by Justice Kennedy, is there sufficient evidence that by the terms of the Fourteenth Amendment’s equal protection or due process clause, is Kentucky violating its Tenth Amendment reserved powers, and is required to perform and recognize same-sex marriages on the same terms as opposite-sex marriages, which Justice Kennedy, falsely suggests there was, along with Justices Ruth Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan who sided with Justice Kennedy ___ Justices Roberts, Scalia, Thomas and Alito dissenting.

I think, at the very least, Justice Kennedy ought to compensate Kim Davis for all of her legal fees, give her an apology for his actions, and simply explain he was on a mission to undo what 75% of the votes, who he apparently disagrees with, dared to do in the State of Kentucky when exercising their Tenth Amendment guaranteed reserved powers.

That's right people...

Some are advocating that the State be able to discriminate based on sex, a biolocial condition determined by DNA.

Think about it.

We are talking about the $100,000 damages verdict, plus $260,000 for attorney’s fees, against Kim Davis for allegedly violating the law in 2015 by refusing to issue a marriage license to a Kentucky same-sex couple, when Kentucky’s constitution would be violated by issuing such a license.

Now, let me ask the question . . . in refusing to grant marriage licenses to same sex couples, what law made in pursuance of the Constitution did Kim Davis violate?​

 

[theHawk]

Kim Davis, a Kentucky county clerk who refused to issue same-sex marriage licenses, had asked the court to reconsider its landmark 2015 opinion. The Supreme Court on Monday turned down a request that it consider overturning its landmark decision to legalize same-sex marriage a decade ago.

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/10/us/politics/supreme-court-same-sex-marriage.html?campaign_id=60&emc=edit_na_20251110&instance_id=166143&nl=breaking-news&regi_id=82070660&segment_id=210322&user_id=0be3b67ae7031af55ebcbfadb31786d5

The court, without comment, declined the petition, filed by Kim Davis, a former Kentucky county clerk who gained national attention in 2015 when she defied a court order and refused to issue same-sex licenses because of her religious beliefs.

She had asked the Supreme Court to reverse an order that required her to pay more than $300,000 to a couple denied a marriage license — and to overturn the same-sex marriage ruling from 2015.

Ms. Davis was really had no standing to bring this case. She continues to make a fool of herself. The law is the law. She has zero rights to decide who can and cannot be married. If for no other reason than her own FOUR MARRIAGES.

Gay.
