Is anyone besides me "distressed" about the recent machinations in re "gay marriage" in Alabama?
Briefly, the USSC has declined (thus far) to declare that there is a "Constitutional" right to marry someone of the same gender, but the Court has agreed to rule on a case-in-point later this year. All the USSC has done until now is to re-affirm the "full faith & credit" clause of Article IV, declaring that neither any state nor the United States can refuse to recognize marriages which are legal in the state in which they are formed. (Which voids a part of DOMA).
So as of this moment there is no "Constitutional" right to marry someone of the same gender.
But a Federal District Court judge in Alabama, one Callie Granade, took it upon herself several months ago to declare that THERE IS SUCH A "CONSTITUTIONAL" RIGHT, demanding in her ruling that Alabama begin accepting and processing marriage license applications from gay couples! The ruling was stayed temporarily pending a ruling by the USSC, but the stay ended on Monday.
WHERE [THE FUCK] DOES SHE GET THE RIGHT TO MAKE THIS RULING? WHERE DID THIS RIGHT COME FROM? WHY DIDN'T ANYONE ELSE NOTICE IT IN THE PAST 200+ YEARS? DOES A FEDERAL DISTRICT COURT JUDGE HAVE THE RIGHT TO RE-WRITE THE FUCKING CONSTITUTION?
In the face of this outrageous flouting of the rights of the State of Alabama to decide what marriage is or isn't within its jurisdiction, the Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court issued a memorandum telling county officials in Alabama that they were FORBIDDEN from issuing marriage licenses in violation of state law.
Now this CJ is being compared with Gov. George Wallace refusing to allow so-called Negroes to enroll in white state colleges a couple generations ago. BULLPUCKEY!
And the U.S. Supreme Court, faced with this unprecedented and outrageous crisis brought on by a Federal District Court Judge REFUSES TO ACT!
It seems that Justices Thomas and Scalia are the only ones who GIVE A FLYING FUCK about the rule of law or the Constitution or precedent or any of that. Certainly, the MSM doesn't give a fuck and they are predictably presenting this outrage in fluffy terms favored by our indigenous commies.
I personally don't care about "gay marriage" one way or another, but this frontal assault on Constitutional law and the processes and procedures that have been in place for hundreds of years is bullshit. And I'm conceding for the moment the existence of the preposterous "right of privacy" which exists nowhere but in the minds of Progressives - certainly not in the United States Constitution. This judge's actions are an outrage that have to be confronted head-on. We cannot allow ourselves to be subject to the whims of anyone who happens to be appointed to the federal court system.
I truly think we as a country ought to look into "Violation of Oath of Office" as a reason for impeachment, and these fukkers who swear to protect and defend the Constitution, then flout it at every turn ought to be removed. For cause. Without further compensation from the taxpayers.
This is the worst constitutional crisis in a generation, and EVERYONE seems to be ignoring it. This is not about "gay marriage," it's about the powers of the federal judiciary to make up new "constitutional" provisions at will.
