Now that we're back in power, can we turn the tide on the war on marriage?

Now that the republicans are back in power, it's time we make an effort to fight back on the war on marriage. Here are my proposals:

1). Pass a law limiting the jurisdiction of federal district courts. They can no longer hear the gay cases.
2). Begin impeachment proceedings against the radical leftist judges who ruled in favor of gay marriage. It's time they answered to the people.

 

Good luck with that.

 

No, because not all Republicans are Conservatives who are anti-gay marriage. A true Republican can support SSM.

 

Nice. I like it. I mean it seems to throw the Constitution down the toilet and flush it repeatedly on many levels but those two proposals have "sexy fascism" written all over them.

 

The constitution gives congress the power to define the jurisdiction of the Article III courts.

 

Of course. That is what makes these proposals so incredibly sexy. Take away forms of redress and petitions guaranteed in the Constitution and add more government regulation of the personal lives of consenting adults. That is smoking hot, tenting my Levis sort of stuff right there.

 

Care to explain the negative impact that gay marriage is having on our economy or nation?

 

It is bringing about the moral decay of our nation. I don't know if that affects our economy. But it sure makes us look weak.

 

How so?

 

Have you read the bible?

 

Yes but that doesn't answer my question. Oh, you think everyone should be beholden to what the bible says? No thanks, I believe in freedom.

 

Nope you would not be able to do either, you already lost that war unfortunately many Cons are too stupid to know it. Pssst, You are not the People. LOL

 

None of that is needed. The homosexuals are going to lose in the Supreme Court anyway.

 

Here is the problem with #1 though. If the case comes to them under the guise of a Constitutional problem then Congress cannot remove their jurisdiction to hear it.

Actually they are both outlined in the Constitution so unless you believe the Constitution is a fascist document you would be wrong.

 

If you say so.

 

In my opinion, that is a lost battle in the cultural war. I'd just assume let those who want to explain why homosexual acts are immoral to be able to explain themselves without being hindered by brown-shirt activist, both on the bench and in the legislatures.

 

I think step one should be for the states affected to nullify the gay marriage rulings of these activist judges, and declare that they will enforce their state's own laws on marriage. Concurrently, the Republicans in DC should begin acting on the proposals you mentioned.

In fact, of all the things that should happen in the next two years, I believe this issue to be the most important of all. These gay marriage rulings are a perversion of government that defies all common sense, and a symbol of the hyper-liberalism that has infected our country over the last six years.

Not with Kennedy sitting on the bench.

 

They've already won. That's why they upheld the appellate rulings.

 

How you guys just drop dead issues like gay marriage and abortion and move onto things that actually matter?

 

Depends on how the case is brought. If it comes as a civil right issue he will go for it but if its a states rights issue he will definitely vote against it. He is the biggest states rights guy to sit on the bench since the Civil War era.

And believe me, the lawyers who are putting together these cases know this as well. If you get even one states rights case in front of the Supreme Court the whole gay marriage thing is gone. It will be relegated to individual states and basically meaningless.

 

The whole gay marriage garbage will drive the Jihadists more nuts than they are, it isn't our foreign policy but our social policy that gets them going.

 

That's exactly correct. Anybody who has read the DOMA decision and doesn't have a gay marriage agenda to push can see that.

 

They didn't uphold the appellate rulings. They punted on the issue to be decided at a later date. Upholding the rulings would entail validating the rulings through a trial like the homosexuals WANTED them to do and they rejected.

All this means is that it goes to the Supreme Court at a later date.

 

Many analysts, and I tend to agree with them, believe they "punted" this issue precisely because they did not like how it was brought to the Court. They think that the Court is waiting for the right case to come to them so they can issue the ruling they want. Bob Woodward wrote a fantastic book about how the Supreme Courts inner workings operate through interviewing various interns and other personal and he stated that in 99% of the cases, the Justices already know which way they will decide.

Any way you view this, it is not good for the gay marriage advocates that the Supreme Court extended the debate on this issue.

 

And this ladies and gentleman is why it swings from right to left and left to right again and again.

If you push this nonsense, you will lose in the long run.

The funny thing it's you same people who are so upset (rightfully so) that Obama care continues with less than half the countries support.

According to Gallup it's 55/42 for gay marriage and will only get stronger. Why don't you stick to the stuff you righties are good at.

Get our economy running again and taxes lowered PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!

At least before you screw it up with social issues and give power back to the Dems.

I beg you, economy first
