Corrupt activist judges strike again.... If they keep pushing this against the will of the people then it's only a matter of time before the people push back.
If the people of Texas wanted gay marriage then the would vote to allow it. But they don't want it. Neither did the people here in California either, but corrupt judges do not care about what we want, only what they and their lobbiest groups want.
I wish Marriage would be dropped from the Government, this would all be over then.
It doesn't work that way. A Judge's job is to tule if a law is Unconstitutional or not. People can't pass Unconstitutional laws. Well they can attempt to, but if they do it will be overturned.
Time for the religious right to start flexing some muscle. The GOP must put forth a constitutional amendment defining marriage between one man and one woman. Time to end this foolishness.
Another state where the will of the people is ignored...they say as Texas goes so goes the nation...lets hope Texas and Texans have been pushed far enough with this filth to fight back.
The will of the people doesn't trump the Constitution. Why do you all fail to understand that concept? BTW, nice join date, name, topic correlation.
I hope Texas appeals this to the SCOTUS on the 10th Amendment, and if SCOTUS rules against the people of Texas, I hope Texas ignores the ruling. More states will follow.
So do I. It would take the focus on discrimination off of my state, Arizona, and put it where it really belongs - in the Bible Belt. It amazes me that a state that is so racist and bigoted as Texas manages to fly under the radar on it.

They won't fight back. At least not in any significant way.
Show me where 14th amendment has ANYTHING to do with homosexual marriage.It doesn't had everything to do with slaves being freed. I joined today got a problem with that?
/derp
Go back to law school.

LOL just occupy yourself with that Revolution planning.
So you can't tell me or show me. OK great so we move on. Revolutions aren't planned they are spontaneous reactions to actual rights being taken away or a change in society against the majorities will.
The 14th Amendment and the way it is applied/interpreted has gone through over a hundred years of jurisprudence. Which is the way our legal system and Supreme Court works. They do not just look at the plain text of the Amendment and make their decision. If they did that, we wouldn't need judge, and any idiot on the internet could be a judge.
Re: Revolutions - your rights, your life, your money has been impacted in NO WAY by an expansion of rights for your fellow tax paying citizens. Not one iota.
And you are not the majority anymore on this issue. Deal with it.
Defining something is not the same as banning something.
The Texas law and other marriage laws that unelected men in black robes have unconstitutionally ruled against all defined marriage as between a man and a woman.
That is a definition.
Too many non-critical thinkers(liberals) have fallen for this Orwelian non-speak that such laws constitute a ban.
Defining peanut butter as a union of peanuts and peanut oil does not equal a ban of jelly.
Who are you to tell me my rights haven't been violated and also I said if the majority isn't being represented or their beliefs are being trampled on which they are. Voting no longer works in this country that's quite obvious. We should just do away with voting and let the governors elect a president and then let him appoint judges etc...that's the way its working anyways
Your rights - at least on this issue - are not affected ONE IOTA by this judge's decision.
You are not forced to enter into a same sex marriage, and nothing changes with respect to your own marriage, or your right to get an opposite sex marriage.
The only ones whose rights are impacted are same sex couples.
Again: You are not the majority on this issue. You are a minority. A minority that likely votes at rates higher than others, but a minority nonetheless.
Also, OTHER PEOPLE'S RIGHTS are not subject to voting. You don't get to dictate how others live their lives in a free society you moralizing behaviorial socialist.

..Revolution is coming...before I die I guarantee it...Been WAY overdue.
Whatever you say dude. Don't shoot yourself in the face while playing revolutionary though. Most "Revolution" types are too old, too dumb, and too fat to pull off a Revolution. The men who led the American revolution were smart, educated folks with leadership skills.
Those calling for Revolution today are literally the exact opposite.

Common sense.
You're right that defining something is not the same as banning something, but you can most certainly use definitions to ban something.
If the country of Harrieristan defines civil marriage as "Only between adherents of the Muslim religion", then Harrierstan has banned all non-Muslim from marrying.
