Can't on the 14th, "interracial" was what it was about. It wasn't however about homosexuality.
Wouldn't it?
If the federal government hadn't stepped in, would Alabama still be segregated today? I seriously doubt it. Just because progress sometimes occurs more slowly in some places compared to others, doesn't give Uncle Sam the right to force-feed that progress upon an unwilling public.
You have to let things run their course, let people determine their own destiny.
I think that gay people would agree with the "mind your own business" sentiment, thus the current situation.
You're kidding, right?
1.) states rights are fully intact and not infringed on as many court cases have pointed out
2.) who said it was? equal rights is an issue right now because states are violating it and COURT CASES make it an issue. Take away the violations and the feds dont have to get involved . . .its how government works
Do you live in Alabama? No? Then it's none of your damn business how they go about their lives. Should we conquer Cuba in order to install a democracy? I mean after all, I feel no particular compulsion to wait for the Cubans to be ready for individual liberty.
Well gender and race you can't control. Religion you can. And you don't need to answer, I already know religious freedom is protected. So what if my religion tells me I must bear my dong when the clock strikes noon tomorrow at times square? Will Jesse Jackson and the civil rights brigade be there to dry my tears in jail?
Then let the people of Alabama vote on gay marriage in their state
No....that isn't exactly what the Supremacy Clause says at all....only in certain contexts. As for the 14th Amendment...you just displayed that you really have no idea what it is about. You really should pick up a book and do a little research. You might learn something.
That you understand that gay marriage bans are gender discrimination is sufficient for this discussion.
Oh Jesus, numbered bullet points. My goose is cooked.
it was cooked before i got here, now my posts are just kicking yours while they are already down. Let us know when you have somethign that actually supports your claims
I need FACTS agent j, come at me with facts and then we can talk. Your opinion is your opinion but facts speak for themselves
Willfully ignoring the rest I see. I like it. Hey good debate but I got you this time cardinal

Alabama's Top Judge: Same-Sex Marriage Is Illegal in State - NBC News
awwwwwww poor judge has his fweelings hwurt and thinks he has the power to disregard the fed and constitution . . .
Way to keep it classy Roy! lol
I hope he is removed from office and he is banned from every participating in government law again.
Is anyone surprised that a judge in Alabama did this? :roll:
I could have predicted this, but I didn't. Some people will always resist change.

Interesting. Is that what you think? While you were going off about nudism and religion and god knows what else, you accepted that gender discrimination was the entire point behind the gay marriage issue. Nothing else mattered. Do you really not see that?
What ever happened to state's rights?
Since when did marriage become a federal priority?
Whatever happened to equal human rights? :roll:
You are suggesting that not having gay marriage is a human rights violation?

It's not gender discriminaton. Which gender is being discriminated against?
Whatever happened to equal human rights? :roll:
I would be curious to know how such equal right would harm you??
Enough, peter, you admitted as much in post 118. It's over. You put up a fight, but it's done now.
