No...seriously...

But seriously, folks...All philosophical disagreements aside...Isn't this just another example of a liberal court trying to override the will of the legislative representatives elected by the voters?
Is it similar to the Court creating a duty for a policeman to describe a suspect's constitutional rights before an otherwise voluntary confession is admissible?
Is this the same as the Court manufacturing a right to murder unborn children?
Of course it is. It seems to me this should be bound for the United States Supreme Court. If they uphold this ruling, it should be a message to the rest of the country to never let another Liberal President appoint a Supreme Court Justice. How can any interpretation of the United States Constitution give the Supremes license to redefine a concept that has been defined for centuries?
You know what is next, right?
Next the polygamists are going to want Equal Rights...
Then children are going to want the right to marry without parental consent...
When does the madness stop?
Somehow, I don't think the Framers intended such absurd interpretations of their document.

What liberal court? Do you mean the ones that are charged to uphold the constitution? It seems to me that since the founding of our country we have not been living up to the constitution. Slavery? Equal rights for all citizens? Women? So, now you are going to be upset that we are finally beginning to live by the constitution. Are you really a lawyer as your profile suggests?

Hey, I just saw that the Vermont legislature has legalized gay marriage. See! The "will of the people" is still alive!

You guys just kill me. Yes, I am an attorney, and as such, I understand the Equal Rights Amendment of the Constitution as well as the Full Faith and Credit Clause. Any legal marriage between any man and any woman that occurs in any state is legal, binding, and protected in every other state and the United States. The Equal Rights Amendment will not change a man into a woman or a woman into a man inorder to create a valid marriage. And by the way, Gays do have a right to marry, they just have to find a member of the opposite sex willing to enter into such an arrangment. Yeah, I understand...you don't.
Oh, and by the way, you venom and bile dripping responses only reinforce Ann's conclusion that liberals can only resort to hate and name calling because they cannot logically argue their absurd positions...get it...absurd positions...ha ha ha.

Exactly what is wrong with gay folks marrying? Details please of what is wrong with it?

I don't post all of them. Many are just mean and insulting with no redeeming value at all. I won't post those.

Everybody has an equal right to marry whatever gender they choose.

Equal protection under the law.

I understand that you might not agree. But gosh -- what's so tough to understand about the legal argument?

People sometimes resort to name calling when no matter how logical their argument the other side will not listen or even try out an idea because he/she is so dogmatic. It is very frustrating to live around and have to daily endure either/or thinkers. Your brain is just wired like that and i don't think there is any hope of you ever entertaining an idea that you have first labeled "liberal." So I'll be signing off and never entertaining your side of the issues anymore either. Thanks for the run.
