"All, too, will bear in mind this sacred principle, that though the will of the majority is in all cases to prevail, that will to be rightful must be reasonable; that the minority possess their equal rights, which equal law must protect, and to violate would be oppression." -Thomas Jefferson

i know that tonight will be very intense here about this. let's hope that it moves up in the courts......





*growl* (to angry to really talk)

Your words ring so very true and it bothers me greatly that we send our soldiers to fight for freedom while taking away the free rights of our own citizens.

One must remember that we are a country of the people, by the people, and for the people (or something like that).



And the people are too busy being self-centered and imposing their beliefs upon the rest of us.



This really is simple - but it's those people who have been put in the positions of power (by the people) that can't get it in their heads what their purpose is.



Why is GAY marriage being banned by the United States Supreme Court? Because it's not the Christian thing to do. Somebody forgot to remind them of the separation of Church and State. Our Government is not to take any side or position with any religious group ... that's in the Constitution also ... yet, you see it all the time.



And here's my question. I thought the Supreme Court was the law of the land. If the Supreme Court says "this is legal" ... then it's legal. What is with all this bullshit from each individual state?



And even worse, California has now become the most hypocritical state in the Union. Why? Because GAY marriage is now illegal ... except for those thousands who were married under the law when it was legal. So, it's okay for some - but not for others.

For clarification: the US Supreme court has NOT ruled on the matter at all.

You are correct Meeper, the US Supreme court has not heard arguments regarding the constitutional aspects of same sex marraige. Until they do and make a judgement of the constitutional rights re: same sex marraige, the states are free to make their own rules. The issuance of marraige liscenses as well as the rules surrounding marraige and WHO can be married are not assigned to the Congress in teh constitutioin, therefore it is reserved for each state to make their own laws. This is why until recently 14 year olds could get married in certain Souther states, it is also why more free thinking states CAN sanction same sex marraiges.



I am sure that eventually this will be heard by the US Supreme Court, hopefully after the court is more open minded! In this case it may be best to avoid this comming before the Supreme Court for a while.

But the other main party is huge for their funding, makes a lot of difference in their comdenation. Money can buy all kinds of acceptance and forgiveness as long as you "play" straight & "normal".
