Married for over 8 years, and no, there is no difference, except my husband is probably hoping there will be less of me talking about this issue.
For some reason, I thought you were gay.
I'm straight and have two kids. Trying to convince the husband to have a third. I'm just really passionate about this issue.
It's stupid questions like this that trivialize the real problem with recent Supreme Court rulings. The problem is, many of them have little to do with law and everything to do with a Supreme Court that's lost its way. It no longer sees itself as an interpreter of the law under the confines of the constitution. It now sees itself as social engineers, charged with making the hard decisions that a divided America is too fractured to make politically. That's wrong.
And if Chief Justice Roberts wasn't so tragically conflicted and idiotic, he'd be comical. He's spent two years ignoring the constitution and the letter of the law to manufacture two majority decisions related to the ACA and he has the gall to criticize the majority in the same sex marriage ruling for making a decision that has nothing to do with the constitution and is just a feel good move. The man should resign or be impeached before he can do any more harm.

Equal rights are "trivial" and NOT something SCOTUS should be bothered with???
You're Canadian. Obviously you're opinions are worthless in this context.
You think that the Supreme Court developed such tendencies only recently?
It has always had the power to implement social change since day one of this countries history.
I appreciate you're upset that I called your question stupid, but at least try not to have a hissy fit and try to understand the point made in my comments without throwing up a totally irrelevant strawman that had nothing to do with my argument.
The fact that I'm Canadian only proves that I'm Canadian. Even a Canadian can see how asinine the question in this thread is.
The decisions handed down the last couple of days will be mocked by future historians as they research and teach the law and the Supreme Court.
I agree, it has over time done so. I just find it does so blatantly now. The decisions handed down the last couple of days will be mocked by future historians as they research and teach the law and the Supreme Court.
Yes... They will be mocking the judicial interpretations exhibited by justices Alito and Scalia..
Yes or no, and why if yes. Please.
How long have you been married?
Did the SSM ruling by SCOTUS somehow change your marriage?
The question misses the point. Do you understand why?
