Good. This is a perfect example of a state trying to institutionalize discrimination. Coming from Arizona - and Jan Brewer, in particular - it's not a surprise.

States have always had their own civil laws , some state you could marry at certain age. Some states considered lving togeher fro certain amount of time or legal documents marriage .

She had every right to enforce her states laws .

In some ways maybe sharia law won't be so damn bad. Radicals are destroying everything we ever were anyway . A nation of every foul bird and act is not one that will last . What a evil place this nation has become .

az must pick its battles. right now the big one is does a state have the right to defend itself against the mexican mongol horde invasion. the feds say no, we are already doing it, which is, of course, a lie.

YEAH! I mean how dare that judge enforce the constitution! The nerve of him.

I honestly can understand the bigotry of conservatives but I will never understand how they can talk so much about the constitution yet remain so ignorant of what is actually in the constitution.

Considering the vast majority of those affected were actually in hetero relationships, the judge's reasoning is straight-up bullcrap. Even if that weren't the case, there is no basis in federal law -- either legislative or judicial -- for extending equal protection to gay partnerships, so his ruling is still bullcrap.

You think the constitution entitles you to harass people?

Perhaps we should write laws banning women from staying at homes eating bon bons all day while their husbands toil? The government ought to define your marriage for you. The government should install a camera to make sure you're performing wifely duties in pre approved manner. Sound good to you?

This reasoning is bizarre. The vast majority of those affected aren't hetero's. The majority of heteros need to stay out of other peoples lives. The boundary issue is not a gay man in a hetero couples bedroom, but heteros peering into gay bedrooms. Go to your rooms, all of you!

Yes, the vast majority of those receiving domestic partnership benefits from the state were hetero couples.

I don't even know how to respond to the rest of your incoherent post.
