U.S. SUPREME COURT TIPS ITS HAND AGAIN ON GAY MARRIAGE

|| By FITSNEWS ||  Gay marriage is coming to the “Heart of Dixie.” Whether Alabama’s leaders like it or not …

In a reprise of the battle that played out in South Carolina late last year, U.S. district judge Callie Granade ruled last month that Alabama’s ban on gay marriage was unconstitutional.  Granade’s ruling sparked an uproar – with social conservative “Republican” leaders expressing outrage and one Democrat threatening to expose her GOP rivals (literally) for their hypocrisy on the issue.

Drama, drama, drama …

Anyway, Alabama attorney general “Big” Luther Strange  sought to block the implementation of Granade’s ruling – arguing that the U.S. Supreme Court would soon be ruling on the constitutionality of state marriage bans (seeking to resolve a dispute between the fourth and sixth district courts of appeal).

Which it is …

But the court – as it did in the South Carolina case – said “nope,” once again signaling its likely inclination to rule against gay marriage bans at the state level.

Last July, the U.S. fourth circuit court of appeals in Richmond, Virginia struck down Virginia’s gay marriage ban – a decision the U.S. Supreme Court refused to overturn.  However a sixth circuit ruling has upheld a state’s right to define marriage as it sees fit.

That’s the position adopted by Roy Moore – chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court – who moved to block the issuance of gay marriage licenses in the aftermath of the ruling.

“It’s my duty to speak up when I see the jurisdiction of our courts being intruded by unlawful federal authority,” Moore said this week.

The high court doesn’t see it that way, though … and for that matter, neither do we.

This website’s views on marriage have been made abundantly clear: No government – local, state or federal – should be able to ban (or compel) marriage: Gay, straight or plural.  That’s because marriage isn’t a government institution, it’s a religious one – meaning the question should be left to individual congregations.  As for civil unions, we believe the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment compels government to acknowledge homosexual, heterosexual or plural unions.

Government needs to do everybody a favor and just get out of the marriage debate …

Marriage is strictly a governmental institution. You can go get married in every church in the state, but you are not officially married until you have a official and governmentally approved marriage license. Plus, marriage contracts predate any western religion practiced in South Carolina. In any case, glad you bumpkins in the south are getting dragged into the present, once again. Doesn’t that shit get tired?

Then you might want to advocate against common law marriages.

I believe marriage requires neither government nor religion, it is an individual right. That being said, unless you have government recognition you can be denied rights and privileges guaranteed by law to married persons. If you’re cool with that, though, go for it.

Marriage is a construct built entirely around consent. Many things require consent of some form, and to varying degrees. Others don’t. Some things one cannot even consent to.

Consistency? The world isn’t black and white, absent of nuance. That would be an actual “bizarro world.”

I’m not referring to “marriage” btw, I’m referring your inability to be consistent across all topics.

Plural marriage should require consent from all parties, if everyone consents there shouldn’t be a problem. People have had multiple spouses throughout history, even in the context of Biblical times. What’s the problem?

I will say that our current laws are not structured to deal with plural marriages, though, that would have to be addressed. The government most certainly shouldn’t be busting down doors and arresting people for it though, unless something shady was going on.

Marriages were often arranged by the families. The bride often had no say. There a strong correlation between societies that have polygamy and the oppression of women, child marriages and sexual abuse of women and children.
Even in the United States.

Polygamy and marriage is older than religion. No where in the Bible is marriage a religious ceremony. Never did a priest or rabbi perform a wedding and there are many weddings in the Bible. That was a Catholic invention.
That is one of the flaws in Fits argument.

Arranged marriages and plural marriages are two different things, man. Arranged marriages I do believe are wrong.

However, polygamy is not in and of itself non-consensual. Not even in the Bible. Genesis 16:1-3? Pretty sure the bride had a say in that one, bro. Also, are we to assume the women who served as various kings’ wives or concubines didn’t consent? Because that would tarnish some of the biggest Biblical figures for sure.

This really isn’t about marriage. It’s about Alabama (and SC, GA, MS, LA and AR) wanting to say that the citizens of the State, can pass laws based on what they want, and that those laws cannot be trumped by the US Constitution. It’s the same backwards argument that we had to settle by burning Columbia and Atlanta to the ground over slavery, had to settle with the deployment of the 101st to Arkansas, the US Army to MS and AL for civil rights, and who knows, maybe we’ll need to deploy the 4th Infantry out of Savannah. It’s a complete BS argument. According to the “states rights” argument, if 51% of SC residents voted to re-institute slavery – the US Constiution could not override that. If SC wanted to vote to outlaw inter-racial marriage – they could. If they voted to re-institute school segregation, separate bathrooms for African Americans and Hispanics, they could. The truth is the residents of states cannot, through state-wide referrendum, overright the liberties and freedoms of the individual that are protected by the US Constitution. That has been the corner stone of our Constitution since day one. Oddly. the Tea Party of Alabama, who professes to want to protect the Constitution from the evel black boggyman in the White House, suddenly want to usurpe the Constitution because they don’t like it being for everyone. I say – Nuke ‘Em. We shouldn’t have to back there again. Just Nuke ‘Em.

Apparently you cannot MARRY anyone you want in Alabama, unless it’s someone of the opposite sex. So if you’re a same-sex couple, in Alabama (and of course you wish it was still true in SC) – you’re not afforded that universal right. That’s against the US Constitution. Period. Marriage is a civil union that impacts legal standing in a variety of venues. Therefore, it does require sanction by the government in order to be afforded access to those civil rights and protections under the law.

Sic: I hate to burst your bubble, but your statement that “marriage isn’t a government institution, it’s a religious one…” is patently false. Marriage is a legal contract entered into under conditions defined by the state. My wife and I have been married for 37 years and never set foot in a church and belong to no religious denomination. We were married by a judge at City Hall after obtaining a license from the state. We have a certificate from the state verifying our marriage. Religion had nothing to do with it.

Let’s be honest: Most homosexuals don’t get into the lifestyle for a monogamous (would-be married) secure realtionship…

When you consider that the gays make up less than 3%…and a small fraction will “marry” from that group…this will have very little practical effect.

It is merely a power play to tear down the institutions that make us strong and allow us to express our morality, separate from the degenerate ….

And like most character-flawed (leftwing) people…their actions will screw them in the end…The homosexual community will likely be hit w/ some unexpected consequence (like alimony or child support) as all ill-intentioned people are….that they are ill-equipped to answer to…

Just give it some time, and gays’ll be trying to rescind this order from their leftwing judiciary..and they will likely claim some sort of discrimination because they got their way….

Most of them, like a majority of the liberal community, will not be able to handle the responsibility of marriage and family…

You are correct. Perverted marriage is being used to eliminate the moral and cultural foundations that this country was founded on and which for a couple of centuries has been the ‘glue’ that has shaped and held together our families and communities.

The children/grandchildren will suffer from being indoctrinated with the evil of same- sex marriage.

Like slavery & segregation, marriage bans are a part of our “cultural foundation” that needed to be eliminated.

Thus the criminalization of Christianity in America continues…mark my words…government minders will soon infiltrate worship services and sanction and prosecute pastors who preach traditional biblical views of marriage…..jail time to pastors who refuse to “marry” homosexuals…

Christianity will disappear into history like thousands of other past religions. Somebody will come up with something stupider for a future generation of ignorant marks.
