    Same tiresome arguments, same tired "religious freedom" expression, and same need to think that the Supreme Court is nothing short of being the supreme ruler of law in this country.

    Opponents of same-sex marriage plan to gather Sunday at the State Capitol to show their support for a ban on gay marriage in the state.

    The “Protect Life and Marriage Rally” is set for 4 p.m. on the south steps of the Capitol.

    The Rev. Paul Blair, one of the event's organizers, said several prominent preachers and some elected officials are expected to speak at the rally, which will include a time of prayer.

    Blair is senior pastor of Fairview Baptist Church in Edmond and president of Reclaiming America for Christ.

    “This is to remind people that we are not 320 million individuals ruled by five non-elected attorneys on the Supreme Court,” he said. “We are a union of sovereign states who delegated few and defined powers to the federal government in order to handle the general welfare.”

    Blair said it's important to note that in 2004, Oklahoma voters overwhelmingly approved a state constitutional question banning same-sex marriage and recognition of same-sex marriages performed in other states. He said Oklahoma is not the only state that approved such a ban before the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in June that same-sex marriage has 14th Amendment protection, making it a national right.

    I'm sure hardly any people showed up at the protest. Sour grapes over the Supreme Court decision of June 26, 2015. Time for those people to get over it!
