I am fucking Flat OUT Amazed....

It is amazin reading this....

The US is a nation of LAWS. Right now STATES DO DETERMINE THE DEFINITION OF MARRIAGE!!! It is not a Federal Issue!! The definition of marriage in all states deals wth a contract between a MAN and a WOMAN!

It is not States Legislatures who are changing laws, its a few JUDGES!! We cannot have a few people in power as judges just creating the law as they see fit. ( What happens if Right wing religious right get judges in and start creating their own laws?)

It is just like the Judge in Alabama who did not want to take the 10 Commandments down - evnetually he was forced out of office, because we are a nation of laws - not of idividuals who can do what they want.

You want to have gay marriages - go to your state and get the law changed!! ( I know they tried in Hawaii or someplace, and people were worried about the full faith and credit clause)

Of course this will not happen, because the majority of Americans are against gay marriages. I doubt it would even pass in California...

We cannot have judges just making up law - they have the least amount of contact with the people. This is why we have legislatures. To PASS and changes laws. Judges are to merely rule on the laws that are passed.

Activist judges of any stripe are dangerous!! This is the big issue, not whether gays can marry or not.
