Gay and lesbian couples already could marry in 36 states and the District of Columbia. The court's 5-4 ruling means the remaining 14 states, in the South and Midwest, will have to stop enforcing their bans on same-sex marriage. Click for Full Text! Poster Comment: No surprises.

To: nolu chan (#58) Roberts dissent at 19-20: The truth is that today’s decision rests on nothing more than the majority’sown conviction that same-sex couples should be allowed to marry because they want to, and that “it would disparage their choices and diminish their personhood to deny themthis right.” Ante, at 19. Whatever force that belief may have as a matter of moral philosophy, it has no more basis in the Constitution than did the naked policy preferences adopted in Lochner. See 198 U. S., at 61 (“We do not believe in the soundness of the views which uphold thislaw,” which “is an illegal interference with the rights ofindividuals . . . to make contracts regarding labor upon such terms as they may think best”). Where was his clear reasoning earlier in the week. Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation. He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.

To: buckeroo (#60) The common denominator about the USSC decision is simple to understand: the government owns the institution of marriage and not religious institutions or considerations. The result allows anyone to marry just about anyone along as they are of legal age and pass a blood test which is simple to perform at the state level. There has never been a federal marriage license. It has always been a state affair and the claim of federal constitutional authority to dictate a federal definition of marriage is on very shaky grounds. I think they did away with blood tests. nolu chan  posted on  2015-06-27   2:45:01 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #64. To: nolu chan (#39) "Held: The Fourteenth Amendment requires a State to license a marriage between two people of the same sex" The 14th amendment limits marriage to "two people"? Where? Seems to me the equal protection clause would allow three people to marry. Or any number. Incestual marriages would be allowed under equal protection, along with child marriges. This decision is going to turn into another Roe v Wade -- never to be settled -- because it should have been decided by the people, not the court. misterwhite  posted on  2015-06-27   9:07:21 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #65.

The law suits are coming no matter what people say is 'impossible' because of the 1st Amendment. This court does not care for the letter of the law as we saw this week with Obolocare. They will find a way to make the 14th amendment interpret the 1st. They will do the same with the 2nd amendment too. The 10th amendment was just scrapped with this decision and the obolocare decision. I don't think it will take that long, $5 says there are some out there that have already been filed, even though they had no standing then they do now. “Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.â€� CZ82  posted on  2015-06-27   9:40:08 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #70.

I've never believed in the 3rd party rhetoric!! The ballot box -- a huge part of our problem has been the cliched "Voting for the Lesser of Two Evils." This has been the case since Reagan left. THESE are the Pubbies who've taken over the Party, ruined the brand, the party, and the core platform. Given all that, the GOP still does control most of the state house legislatures and governorships. People must still believe in their core principles (unfortunately long since abandoned by most reps.) Doesn't seem to translate into more conservative policies and agenda though, does it? Unlike the Dems (who seem to maintain a unified focus and monolithic goal) the GOP spans too much of the political spectrum and is too diluted to focus on a common goal. It itself has been divided & conquers as a party. THIS is our primary problem. Ergo, our wishes for true representation (through no fault of our own) has been short-circuited. Our agenda, a conservative agenda has fallen in the hands of a subversive, corrupt faux Republican leadership. They are painfully and obviously puppets controlled by external anti-America overlords.... UNTIL these puppetmeister-overlords are exposed, I can't see the GOP turning things around on its own soon -- do you? And no, we don't have enough time or energy to establish a viable Third Party.

To: misterwhite (#64) Syllabus of Obergefell v Hodges. Held: The Fourteenth Amendment requires a State to license a marriage between two people of the same sex [and to recognize a marriage between two people of the same sex when their marriage was lawfully licensed and performed out-of-State. Pp 3-28.] The 14th amendment limits marriage to "two people"? Where? Seems to me the equal protection clause would allow three people to marry. Or any number. The Court did not say the 14th Amendment limits marriage to "two people." In saying a license had to be issued to two people of the same sex, it said nothing of three or more people. At my #52, I opined that, It is difficult to see why the federal definition of marriage would not extend to plural marriage. The right of same-sex marriage arises from no historical precedent. Plural marriage has biblical precedent and multinational precedent, including U.S. precedent. Any legal basis for the imposition of a federal definition of marriage to include same-sex marriage would seem to support a claim for plural marriage. Why would denial of same-sex marriage be unconstitutional discrimination, but denial of plural marriage not be unconstitutional discrimination? Does a mixed sex trio not have the same concerns about hospital visitation rights, inheritance rights, and the right to express their love for one another? After reviewing the dissenting opinions, I saw that Chief Justice Roberts expressed a similar concern. Roberts at 20: One immediate question invited by the majority’s posi­tion is whether States may retain the definition of mar­riage as a union of two people. Cf. Brown v. Buhman, 947 F. Supp. 2d 1170 (Utah 2013), appeal pending, No. 14­4117 (CA10). Although the majority randomly inserts the adjective “two” in various places, it offers no reason at all why the two-person element of the core definition of mar­riage may be preserved while the man-woman element may not. Indeed, from the standpoint of history and tradi­tion, a leap from opposite-sex marriage to same-sex mar­riage is much greater than one from a two-person union to plural unions, which have deep roots in some cultures around the world. If the majority is willing to take the big leap, it is hard to see how it can say no to the shorter one. It is striking how much of the majority’s reasoning would apply with equal force to the claim of a fundamental right to plural marriage. If “[t]here is dignity in the bond between two men or two women who seek to marry and in their autonomy to make such profound choices,” ante, at 13, why would there be any less dignity in the bond be­tween three people who, in exercising their autonomy, seek to make the profound choice to marry? If a same-sex couple has the constitutional right to marry because their children would otherwise “suffer the stigma of knowing their families are somehow lesser,” ante, at 15, why wouldn’t the same reasoning apply to a family of three or more persons raising children? If not having the opportunity to marry “serves to disrespect and subordinate” gay and lesbian couples, why wouldn’t the same “imposition of this disability,” ante, at 22, serve to disrespect and subor­dinate people who find fulfillment in polyamorous rela­tionships? See Bennett, Polyamory: The Next Sexual Revolution? Newsweek, July 28, 2009 (estimating 500,000 polyamorous families in the United States); Li, Married Lesbian “Throuple” Expecting First Child, N. Y.

We spent the next 4 hours talking to them about where all we lived and places we had visited and of course drinking copious amount of beer, you know the Auzzies. “Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.â€� CZ82  posted on  2015-06-30   6:54:14 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #97. To: Chuck_Wagon (#95) It's owned by a family of Greek folks. A little place I go to when I'm in the area is a traditional Greek restaurant ran by this very large Greek family. The food there is always better than any other place I go that claims to be cooking/selling Greek cuisine. Their Gyros taste so much different (and better) than everybody else's, they must be seasoning their meat differently. I used to go to the annual Greek festival they have here in town but after they opened for business that stopped... :) “Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.â€� CZ82  posted on  2015-06-30   7:01:24 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #98. To: CZ82 (#97) ...a traditional Greek restaurant... Almost 30 years ago I and a group of friends regularly went to a Greek restaurant (a different place than the diner). Excellent food. A family run place - the youngest girl would stand by your table and cater to you every whim - the boy would wait your table. (This was the place where I first ate Feta cheese. On a Greek salad...) But the most amazing thing were the prices - LOW, amazingly low - actually TOO low - because when the fire inspector decreed that they had to upgrade the sprinkler system in the kitchen, they could not afford it and had to close. I would have rather spent twice as much for the food and had the place been able to stay in business. But it was great while it lasted. It got to the point where we would go there for dinner once a week. Sadly the place was almost always nearly empty - even though we 'talked the place up' with other friends and family. They were hanging in there - until the fire inspector came. Chuck_Wagon  posted on  2015-06-30   9:20:47 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #99.

We used to have a Vietnamese place like that here about 10 years ago, great food but hardly anybody ever went there so they went out of business too. There have been 3 or 4 other restaurants in the same building since then none last more than 2 years, bad location I guess but there is a strip mall right across the street to help attract business. Now about 1/4 mile up the street there is a Mexican restaurant that manages to stay open even though the food isn't very good, go figure. The place used to be owned by a "little old lady" when I was a kid and the food was outstanding, better than any I ever ate in Texas. “Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.â€� CZ82  posted on  2015-06-30   20:36:19 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #101.

So is this a reflection on the restaurant or on you? потому что Бог хочет это тот путь SOSO  posted on  2015-06-30   21:26:53 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest
