Same Sex Marriage
 

The Supreme Court ruled that same sex marriage is legal in all the USA.

Rubio was saying today when (?) he is President, he will repeal that. Obviously, he does not realize the law of the land as pronounced by the Supreme Court cannot be repealled by the President or Congress.

I think the only way would be a Constitutional amendment that would take ratification by 3/4 of the states.

You would think that a presidential candidate would know that but maybe he is just counting on enough ignorant voters not to know what a president can and cannot do.

It worked for Obama.

I am talking about one topic here that is the law of the land and a comment from Rubio that he would repeal it.

How could the law of the land be repealed by a President?

Rubio could just as easily proposed what Obama does when he disagrees with a law of the land he dislikes......just do not enforce it. Illegal immigration laws for example or no enforcement of entry laws into the USA.

Had you taken the time to read it, it should have been obvious to you that my response was to the part of the quote that I highlight in bold print.

He did NOT say that. I heard what he said, and he did NOT say he would repeal it. You are baiting again, looking for attention.

Rubio said that it is a state's right to define marriage, not the federal gov. He did NOT say he would repeal it. He said he would not change the Constitution. He did not say he would repeal any law regarding same sex marriage. This is just a campaign of misinformation perpetrated by deviant liberals.

Besides, what's the harm? Just let the fudge packers and rug munchers do what they want.

:agree:... :evil6:

Marriage has no meaning anyway. As that tramp says about the death of four patriots, "what difference does it make?"

"Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio suggested that the justices he nominates to the Supreme Court may roll back marriage equality"

Repeal: revoke, rescind, cancel, reverse, annul, nullify, declare null and void, quash, abolish

Whatever Rubio says about anything is irrelevant - he has as much chance of winning the nomination, let alone being elected, as Junior did finding any WMD's.

I agree! :agree::agree::agree:

Your ignorance is showing. Better tuck you slip back in.

Ah, I know what repeal means, but I have yet to see his quote where he used that term. Taking a bit of leeway with the truth, are you? I'm sure you can find it, right? Or, did someone tell you this and you repeated like the liberal sheeple have a tendency to do?

You liberals would be better off with Rubio as president than Trump. And you know that the Democrat establishment writing on the way says that they will not allow Hillary or Sanders to get the election. They will ultimately sacrifice the election to the GOP rather than have either of the two as president. SO, you might want to think on that. Why do you think Bloomie is getting ready to run as an Independent? To take away the wining vote of either Democrat candidate.

The Trumpster still is my boy for the Floriduh primary. The idea is to get him to win primaries, have the RNC diss him by not having him as their nominee, Trumpster will go third party and Hillary wins!

It was the plan all along! :a040:

Sounds good! Just one question----why would anyone with even 2 functional brain cells want Hilary to win?

Because she is a Democrat. It is that simple.

Because he is an idiot? But, he is just a kid playing with the adults. Everyone with the IQ of a water balloon knows that liberals don't have enough motivation to follow his juvenile scheme. Even if they were intelligent enough to understand his idea, they would just laugh at him.

sheeple?

"Taking a bit of leeway with the truth"

Since you do not know how, or are to lazy to search on the internet, I will do it for you. Know what your commenting about before you do, it shows you are a buffoon.

Marco Rubio Suggests His Supreme Court Would Roll Back Marriage Equality

Thats one more than you have lol

Could be---one never knows, do one?

BTW, thank you for the nostalgia---I haven't heard a retort like yours since kindergarten

You are still disregarding the original statement you(?) made. You used the word REPEAL. Once again, you take liberties with the truth. What good does Google do YOU if you have no reading comprehension? He did NOT use the term or suggest the usage of "REPEAL." Sorry, but don't get mad at me for correcting you SEVERAL times. It is you that is at fault with your interpretation of reality. Twisting something someone says is slander. I doubt you are blatant in your wish to pervert his words, but you should be careful when you attempt to paraphrase someone you don't like.

I would have no problem with a REPEAL, because I agree with his definition of marriage. You see, in many states the definition of marriage is between one man and one woman. Rubio is saying that the constitution allows the individual states to make that law, not the federal government. I believe it is the tenth amendment? Part of the Bill or Rights, I think.

If you happen to find a quote saying he is going to REPEAL then I will stand corrected. It is not up to me to search for it, as I did not make that claim. So, have a great day.

I believe it is the tenth amendment? Part of the Bill or Rights, I think.

Please proof read your comment. Also "I think" , don't you know?

Well, I'll tell you what. How about I change the subject or chose one of your adverbs to discuss, instead of addressing the subject. Are you that far defeated that you can't stay on topic? When ever someone answers your stupid questions or makes a comment about the subject, you seem to feel that you need to draw attention to you with a totally lame reply. A reply having nothing to do with politics. Either an attack on a poster or diverting to discussing punctuation. So my friend, get a life and go play with yourself, because you are not impressing anyone except yourself.

And why do you think Trump is threatening to run an independent campaign?

If Trump does run as an independent the R Party will become a minor Party

You might want to think on that.

Trump wins SC and he'll run the table

Yelp! Trying to get few liberal votes. The smart ones!


Isn't some members on the Supreme Court gay if so how could they rule without it being conflict of interest? Also Cala voted out gay marriage and district court judge if I remember correctly was known gay over ruled the voters. NO JUDGE gay or straight should be allowed to over rule voters on they're special interest. This is why term limits need to be on circuit, especially Supreme Court, and of course congress. No way to get rid of them even if they're 95. Don't say age discrimination cause it in other career jobs like airline pilots, military high year tenure ext..

We already have term limits in Congress - their called elections.

Why does anyone want Gay Marriage to be repealed?

What harm has this done in the country? Many long term, 30+ years, couples are getting married. At this time in life its all about getting the estate in order.

The sky hasn't fallen.....

So who on the court are gay? Rumors do NOT count!

Nobody said anything about "repealing" gay marriage. Why do you keep perverting what someone says?

But, if you really want to know why it SHOULD be banned, since there is no federal law regarding marriage, maybe it's because the majority of Americans believe that marriage is religious, and the majority of Americans believe that a religious marriage is defined as one man and one woman.

Homosexuality is a deviant abnormal behavior that is TOLERATED, but not condoned. That is my opinion, which is shared by the majority. Deviant, but unharmful behavior should be kept in the bedroom where ALL sexual behavior should be kept. Not in parades in the street or on TV for the children to see.

BS thread kept alive by the master baiters!

I doubt they put in on they're resume or will Amit to it like others when applying for job.
They only come out of the closet when it's convenient to advance the cause or lawsuit. :popcorn:

No one has said why Gay Marriage should be repealed.... what harm has it caused? How does it affect YOUR everyday life?

This is just another example of the Christian right trying to impose their religions on the rest of us!!!!

There is no federal law on marriage, perhaps true, but there is a Federal Constitution. And that document is controlling authority for the entire country as interpreted by the Supreme Court. Marriage is a legal merger of individuals into a state recognized by the government and given special consideration. It has nothing to do with religion unless the parties choose to have a religious element to the contract. While some may choose to have the contract witnessed in a religious environment, other choose to have a completely non-religious event for example being married by a judge or other civil authority. What the US Supreme Court said, very clearly, is that any two adults can enter into this contract without needing to be one female and one male. Equal protection requires it under the Constitution no matter what the majority of citizens want. This has been the role of the court and frankly the Constitution to protect the minority against the tyranny of the majority. The majority did not want to have integration in the South, or in the north likely. The majority may well believe cops should be able to stop anyone and search anyone, because if you are not guilty you have nothing to hide. The Constitution says otherwise and the court's job is protect those rights guaranteed whether you or I agree.
No one can tell any religion that it needs to have anything to do with gay marriage. No priest or shaman or preacher can be forced to officiate over a gay marriage. But the law now is that the state may not prohibit gay persons from marriage. You see there is no such thing as "religious" marriage according to civil law. There is only marriage. If the Catholic church decides it will not call a straight couple "married" if the ceremony was done in a courthouse not by a cleric, that is fine with me. It was a marriage without the blessing of a priest. If the Catholic church does not want to call me married to my partner, that is fine with me. I don't need the approval of the Catholic church, or you, on my orientation or my marriage for it to be completely 100% legal in every state of the good old USA

Deviant? My behavior is not deviant. The Church of course defines deviant in lots of ways depending on your particular flavor of God. Oral Sex, deviant. Masturbation super deviant. Anything but Missionary position DEVIANT, as the lovely missionaries of the Christian faith told those sexed up natives to stop having it any other way or go to Hades. So are you deviant too?

Well said!!!!

Not to disparage you, but you do not live in reality.
You say that the gov can not force the church to marry gays? WRONG! They are threatening to take away tax exempt status if the church does not comply.

Yes Deviant behavior. Abnormal behavior. Just because your lifestyle is tolerated does not make it normal or condoned. Make up all the excuses you wish, but facts are facts. You can bring up all kinds of issues not related, kind of like blaming Bush for Obama's failures, but it doesn't change fact. You can attempt to excuse it, but that doesn't matter. Fact: homosexuality is deviant and abnormal behavior. Is it accepted? It is TOLERATED, not condoned. It does not have to be the Church that condemns it, science does also. But, I don't want to argue the issue of gay marriage. It is already considered legal, thanks to a group of judges, NOT the majority of American voters. I am not a bigot because I tolerate it. I don't agree with it, or condone it, but I tolerate it. As far as I am concerned, what two people do in privacy is their business.

Dear non bigoted guest
You are full of bluster and certainty. I request, no I insist that if you are going to continue to make statements of fact that you support them with evidence.
Start with something simple. Find me a single shred of evidence that anyone in any level of government has threatened the tax exempt status of any church over gay marriage. I do not accept a statement that someone on the right is afraid it might happen, but I want to see a real statement from a real personal doing exactly what you said has happened, because I know you are wrong.
Here is the link to Family research council which is a far right wing organization actively anti-gay marriage and even their website says you are WRONG
Family Research Council
and here is the exact wording from the court on how it impacts churches

Finally, it must be emphasized that religions, and those who adhere to religious doctrines, may continue to advocate with utmost, sincere conviction that, by divine precepts, same-sex marriage should not be condoned. The First Amendment ensures that religious organizations and persons are given proper protection as they seek to teach the principles that are so fulfilling and so central to their lives and faiths, and to their own deep aspirations to continue the family structure they have long revered. The same is true of those who oppose same-sex marriage for other reasons.


Lastly as to your insistence that because you tolerate gay people you are not a bigot, I suppose that if you tolerate Negroes that does not make you a racist and if you "tolerate" Jews you are not an anti-Semite. And your risible assertion that "science" condemns homosexuality... You know nothing about science as science absolutely shows that homosexuality is a normal part of most mammalian species, and science never condemns anything, it presents evidence, posits theories, and seeks to understand the world in which we live, but it never condemns behavior.

Use the term "bigot" any way you wish. By definition, a bigot denotes intolerance. You don't have to agree with the definition, but that fact remains, just like you feel that the supreme court decision makes gay marriage legal. The court made it legal, not right, not normal, just legal. Saying someone is a racist because one believes that homosexuality is wrong, is ludicrous. And please don't try to use science as an argument to justify gay behavior. You will lose. You can use "love" as an argument, but not science.

Anti-Gay Marriage Churches Could Lose Tax-Exempt Status | The Daily Caller

Churches could lose their tax-exempt status with the IRS if they refuse to recognize the Supreme Court’s ruling Friday legalizing gay marriage in all 50 states, Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts warned in his dissenting opinion.
