Utah Gay Marriage Ban Struck Down As Unconstitutional

[Mayhem]

A federal judge has struck down Utah's same-sex marriage ban, saying it is unconstitutional.

U.S. District Judge Robert J. Shelby issued a 53-page ruling Friday saying Utah's law passed by voters in 2004 violates gay and lesbian couples' rights to due process and equal protection under the 14th Amendment.

Shelby says the state failed to show that allowing same-sex marriages would affect opposite-sex marriages in any way, and the state's unsupported fears and speculations are insufficient to justify deny allowing same-sex marriages.

Attorneys for the state argued that Utah's law promotes the state's interest in "responsible procreation" and the "optimal mode of child-rearing."

The lawsuit was brought by three gay and lesbian couples in Utah.

Many similar court challenges are pending in other states, but Utah's has been closely watched because of the state's history of staunch opposition to gay marriage as the home of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Bwahahaha! When Utah can't even justify it's own outdated beliefs, you know the times, they are a-changin'.

the state law, which voters approved in 2004

Sniffit
"The state had a vote and they voted for the ban. Now, we have a power hungry judge take away the people of Utah`s voice. We need to make a choice, the fed rules across the country or the states decide for themselves."

1. Civil Rights are not up for vote. They are not subject to the whims and tyranny of the majority. That's the whole point of the Constitution and the judicial branch.

2. We already made that choice in 1789. Two words: Supremacy Clause.

The judge is over-stepping.

So you would be willing to kill people over their choice to marry? Or are you saying that you're looking forward to watching another war from the safety of your cabin?

It wouldn't surprise me. It's not too much of a stretch to go from hoping...

If they do I hope to see mass murders and crime in Maryland.

...to at least watching.

He'd never kill over someone's right to marry..... or would he?

Everything the liberals are doing now is leading to this.

It's not just about this.

I noticed that I am on that list but it's not a shame to me because ass is nice animal.

 

[Johan]

I highly doubt will woud kill anyone. He's not the kind of people that goes to war. He's the kind of guy that keep his ass on his sofa, watching the war on CNN, drinking beer and eating donuts

You should be glad about that : Civil War 2.0 is the conservative's only option to stop the progress. Or at least to slow it down.

Texas has gotta be next.....oh, what fun that would be to watch! :1orglaugh

You have been saying the civil war is coming for years now. You said if President Obama was elected, there would be riots and civil war. There weren't. You also said if he got a second term, the United States would be a third world country because of civil war and how poor the economy would be. It isn't.

You are stating your opinion like it is fact. It isn't.

:2 cents:

 

[Will E Worm]

America would have been much better off without Obama. He's worse than Carter.

We are close enough to a third world country because of him.

For years, really?

Compared to who? If we're a third world country, name for me all the 1st world countries.

And yes Will, for years. You've been going on and on about some civil war that you forsee. Where is it? Where are the beginnings? Where are the militias of the Clinton era? That right there shows what a bag of smoke you're selling. You guys suited up for an Arkansas good ol' boy, but you're strangely silent with an Illinois nigra in the Oval. Where'd you go?

 

[Will E Worm]

Not years. 2012 is not years.

I'm not the only one saying this.


Civil War 2016



I never set a date.

 

[Mayhem]

Of course you never set a date. That would constitute a direct answer to a question, and we know that you're never going to let that happen. Just like you not answering the question about who is a third world country and who is not.

 

[Johan]

We are close enough to a third world country because of him.

United States GDP 2012 : 51.704$ per capita
Modova GDP 2012 : 3.378$ per capita (lowest in Europe)
Romania GDP 2012 : 1.722$ per capita (lowest in the EU)
Equatorial Guinea GDP 2012 : 26.687$ per capita (highest in Africa)

The US GDP is twice the GDP of the richest country in Africa. Talk about a 3rd world country !

In 2012, only 5 countries had a higher GDP than the US : Qatar, Luxembourg, Singapore, Bruneï and Norway
Among these 5 countries, the only one that can be compared to the US is Norway. Guess what, in 2012, the Prime Minister of Norway was -since 2005- from the Labour Party. Yep, he was a liberal, a socialist and still his country's economy was brilliant

Sodomite Robert Shelby served on the Utah Supreme Court’s Advisory Committee on Rules of Civil Procedure and its Ethics and Discipline Committee. He lives in Salt Lake City with his life partner (sic) and their two adopted sons. (sic)

He refers to his family as wife, son and daughter in his confirmation testimony.

"I, too, have some family members with me, some special guests, and am honored to introduce them today. My college sweetheart and wife of almost 20 years, Angela, is here, as are our children: my 8-year-old daughter Amelia and my 6-year-old son George."

On November 30, 2011, President Obama nominated sodomite Robert J. Shelby to be District Judge for the United States District Court for the District of Utah.

This means his ruling is null and void. He violated the will of the people and lied about the Constitution.
He needs to be removed and tried for treason.

First of all, when you post an article or excerpt, post the source. You shouldn't need to be told this.

Second, nothing you just said is supported by the article you quoted.

Third, by your own definition, you need to be tried for treason for advocating a violent overthrow of your Constitionally elected government.

Got a smiley for all that Cupcake?
