A Conversation on Gay Marriage

Christopher Cook — Sun, 28 Apr 2013 20:30:59 +0000

Occasionally, we like to highlight conversations that take place in our comment threads. Below is one such exchange. It took place in the thread of Gay Marriage – A misnomer of an issue. In a way, it is also a reply to elements of Can social conservatives and the GOP break up but stay friends?, specifically that portion suggesting ending government licensure of marriage as a partial solution to current questions about the redefinition of traditional marriage.

Supreme Court finds non-gay marriage, dog sniff right to privacy

Mike DeVine — Mon, 08 Apr 2013 22:55:43 +0000

Liberal trial lawyer Democrats, small government tea partier conservative Republicans, and U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justices Scalia, Thomas, Kagan, Ginsburg and Sotomayor quietly found common civil liberties ground during gay marriage week.

Observing the blanket press coverage of the recent week of oral arguments concerning California’s Proposition 8 and the federal Defense of Marriage Act before the nation’s highest court, one could be forgiven for thinking that one-third of America’s government only concerns itself with less than 2% of its ...

I listened to Dr. Benjamin Carson’s interview on the Mark Levin show Monday night. I love honesty and that’s why I loved this interview. I love it when the hypocrites, the phonies, the pretenders, are exposed. And there was a … Continue reading →

If you worship the concept of “states rights” and revere the 10th Amendment, this proposed resolution in the North Carolina General Assembly/a> should be no problem for you at all. SECTION 1. The North Carolina General Assembly asserts that the Constitution of the United States of America does not prohibit states or their subsidiaries from [...]

Court can’t let Democrats’ standing duplicity leave marriage laws defenseless

Mike DeVine — Thu, 28 Mar 2013 18:53:22 +0000

Conservatives should welcome the Supreme Court’s inquiry in “standing” issues.

The U.S. Constitution makes clear that:

“The judicial power of the United States shall extend to all Cases…arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and…-to Controversies to which the United States shall be a party…” – Article III, Section 2.

This “cases and controversies” clause makes clear that courts do not exist to serve as philosopher kings available to issue advisory opinions imposing liberal orthodoxy when We the People’s ...

There is a scary part of this debate over same-sex marriage that few people are talking about, and it was illustrated on last night’s panel discussion on Fox News Special Report. I respect Kirsten Powers as an honest, blue-blooded Liberal, … Continue reading →

Marriage equality opponents want a trophy

As the Supreme Court hears arguments in the California Prop 8 case today, Center for Arizona Policy president Cathi Herrod lectures us moral degenerates with a My Turn column about the wonders of straight marriage, while dumping on single parents of all orientations. That may sound a little overstated, but it is in the union [...]

California Supreme Court made upholding Prop 8 elementary for SCOTUS

Mike DeVine — Tue, 26 Mar 2013 21:55:22 +0000

Only by emasculating the Equal Protection Clause, again, could the United States Supreme Court strike down the will of Golden State people to maintain traditional marriage.

Oral arguments were heard today in the case of Hollingsworth v. Perry by the nine justices of the nation’s highest court, with the fate of same-sex marriage and the constitutional rule of law hanging in the balance. Twice in the past 14 years, majorities of California voters have voted to reject allowing two persons of the ...
