Supreme Court Ruling on Gay Marriage
I'm hoping that this ruling comes in today and the Supreme Court actually does something big. I'm very excited to hear what the ruling is!
|
No ruling today. :(
|
I am hoping it comes out soon too.
|
supposed to be tomorrow

Supreme Court strikes down DOMA, Proposition 8
Am I the only one who finds it ironic that #DOMA was signed by Bill Clinton, but yet Anthony Kennedy who was appointed by Ronald Reagan, wrote the majority opinion in favor of shooting it down? Good job Supreme Court. You got this one right. #ProudConservativeforEqualRights |
I'm just sitting on the couch by myself grinning stupidly while my dog looks at me like I'm nuts.
This is a historic day and an amazing day. Thank you Justice Kennedy for doing the right thing :D :D |

I am SO happy DOMA was declared unconstitutional! This is a great day for America. |
The Supreme Court got this one right. Absolutely. I started to cry when I heard it because of what it means for so many Americans and some friends of mine here in California. Justice Anthony Kennedy is my hero right now. :):D

About damn time.
|
This is a great step in the LGBT justice movement. I'm excited to move forward.
|
Now I have to roll my eyes at this. Members of my hubby's very conservative & uptight (sticks up their asses) family are now posting pics of their own weddings & kids saying things like it's a sad day for family values, marriage and kids. I'm deleting all their ignorant asses. :rolleyes:
|
I wish they had gone a step further and ruled CA's Prop 8 Unconstitutional so the laws in the other 35 states had to fall also. Baby steps I guess.

What I find really interesting is the alignment on the Prop 8 decision. Quote:
There will be more lawsuits and more chances to deal with the question, but for now, the Court took the most prudent course. |
Plus, it's going to take another case to get marriages recognized across different states. I'm hoping that the LGBT community and our allies haven't forgotten that we still have plenty of work to do.

MC, how do you interpret the tea leaves in all of the dicta about how marriage is this fundamental province of the states, but of course subject to certain restrictions? (the Court cited Loving v. Virginia several times).
It looks promising... |
