Looks like the federal legislature is out of the picture. How convenient for Republicans.

Gay Marriage is no longer a State's Right issue. It has come full circle. Now, the nation hears from a conservative court about the right of people to love. Is this the only way bias, discrimination and hatred ends in the USA? A court has to arbitrarily tell Americans they are allowed to love each other. Really?

The U.S. Supreme Court (click here) has decided to take up the issue of marriage equality the right way, the forthright way. The justices could have simply allowed the federal appeals court ruling against California's Prop. 8 to stand without a high-court review. Such a move would have allowed the resumption of same-sex marriages in California, but would have left open the question of the constitutionality of laws in other states that restrict marriage to unions between a man and a woman....

How many human functions will the courts of the USA have to tell the American people to perform in private or public? Can we hug in public? Can we celebrate in public? Can we express our deepest and most abiding feelings for each other in public?

This is interesting.

See, when hatred takes this level it is a precedent no one should sincerely engage in. Basically, the Supreme Court of the USA is going to tell its citizens it has a right or not a right to love. 

So.

Is that freedom of speech or the commerce clause this time?

Oh, yeah.

When the Supreme Court decides about Gay Marriage will they also say who can or cannot give birth and claim families? This is one of the most outrageous issues I have ever witnessed before the court in my life!

The conservative courts have refused to respect the wall between church and state. They refuse to visit the issue as a religious intolerance issue. The way this needs to occur is the removal of the state from the realm of the church. The church does not issue marriage licenses and the state does. There is no reason why two people of any gender combination cannot get a marriage license and spend the rest of their lives together. The bias in some states is due to the breakdown of the separation of church and state. 

Now, will the Robert's Court return the separation as it should be or will they toy with it? Will they find some stupid conservative grey area and call it genius?
