Supreme Court to Decide Whether Same-Sex Couples Nationwide Can Marry
Friday, January 16, 2015 03:44 PM

 

The Supreme Court has agreed to decide whether the U.S. Constitution guarantees all Americans the right to enter into same-sex marriages.

The decision has the potential to legalize gay marriage in all 50 states or to roll the practice back by overturning a series of federal court rulings that have dramatically expanded the availability of same-sex unions in the past year and a half.

Arguments are likely in late April. A decision should come before the high court’s current term ends in June.

In 2013, the justices ruled that the U.S. Government had to recognize same-sex marriages performed in states, but the court left open the question of whether states were required to permit such unions.

If they can find a right to murder the unborn, they'll surely find a right to sodomy...

They already found that 12 years ago.

Traditional marriage, at this point, is probably dead in the water. The false equivalence of homosexuality and heterosexuality is now accepted, prima facie, by the majority of the court and the American people.

It would be a political disaster for the GOP, even if the Court decides in favor 5-4.....let alone a decision against 5-4.

Either way, media and society will once again show how Conservatives are the 'enemy.

Therefore, even though my personal POV says marriage is between a man and woman, I hope at this stage, we just get a unanimous decision in favor and then let's get on with life.

I don't know why they are going through this legal charade.  They are going to find that states don't have rights to make individual decisions and provide another nail in the freedom coffin.

That's the sad truth of it.

[Right_in_Virginia]

I don't know why they are going through this legal charade. 

So we'll have more "settled law". 

[DCPatriot]

The Court does take into account, current social norms and trends when making their decision on cases.


Honestly.....I read it on the internet.

The majority of states need to start passing laws now to protect churches and businesses from being sued for refusing to honor the perverts.  Most states have never voted for the homosexual agenda, it has been forced on them by rouge judges.  Within days of their ruling, and we all know what it will be, with Kennedy writing the majority opinion, the homofacists will begin going after every church and Christan owned business they can.

The Supreme Court was truly hoping to avoid this by having all the appellate courts do their dirty work for them.  They would rather not have another Roe v. Wade on their hands, and they know that this is exactly what it will be.  I bet they just about blew a fuse when the 6th Circuit didn't do what they were expected to do.

It should be a very interesting opinion, either way.  I have a feeling that it will be a 5-4 decision, whichever way it goes.

It's too late to get that done.  That's what conservatives/religious believers should have been doing years and years ago instead of adamantly refusing to concede even the slightest bit of recognition to gay couples.  The only real hope left is the very same Court some people here love to bash, and the first amendment.

This won't succeed, any more than the "Defense of Marriage Act" "succeeded".

The only way to establish such protection would be through a Constitutional Amendment that the courts can't touch.

Sooner or later, the left will use the courts to dismantle any state's attempt to shield churches, businesses, and -- finally -- individuals from the left. And, as you said above, from the perverts...

I don't think that's possible.

I'm thinking that's what the founders were trying to do with the 1st Amendment and that apparently isn't enough...

I wonder how long after the supremes rule in favor of same sex marriage will the marriage to sister, brother, anything they want to marry will take? A year later?  2 years? You know it will happen. That group the man boy love group, I forget its full name will be ecstatic when they pass this.

Anyone who thinks that this issue is the end of the amoral leftist agenda is both naïve and historically ignorant.

This is merely one more step in removing anything that's left of the moral foundation of our country.

It's interesting that whenever this issue comes up, you always take the opportunity to bash conservatives instead of looking at the real source of the problem.......... the left.
