Alabama Judges Refuse To Issue Same-Sex 'Marriage' Licenses

Image
Taking the admonishment of legal scholars to heart that the Supreme Court's marriage ruling in   Obergefell   is illegitimate, several Alabama probate judges   have petitioned the state Supreme Court for a judgement   upholding the state constitution and prohibiting the state from issuing same-sex 'marriage' licenses. The judges acknowledge that the state must "recognize" same-sex 'marriage' licenses issued elsewhere that are valid under the laws of other states, but that the federal government is powerless to force the state to itself issue licenses that violate its state constitution. Saying that the   Obergefell   ruling was "born from a strained interpretation of the US Constitution, the new same-sex marriage license is a child of the federal government, not the State of Alabama...Therefore, the recognition of same-sex marriage as a civil right under the United States Constitution vests the U.S. Congress with the authority and responsibi...

Supreme Court Judge prior to gay marriage decision - mind made up

Image
English: Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Ruther Bader Ginsburg was wrong. Justice Ginsburg violated judicial ethics when she gave a media interview presaging her vote to redefine marriage (even before the case was briefed or argued) in which she outrageously predicted that the Supreme Court decision imposing same-sex 'marriage' would be readily accepted by the country. The evidence that the country is not embracing this ruling mounts every day. A nationwide survey of voters conducted by Reuters found that only 51% of Americans support same-sex 'marriage' following the Supreme Court ruling — a considerably smaller percentage than many national polls found prior to the ruling — and nearly two thirds of Republicans oppose the Supreme Court decision. Reuters noted that this will likely ensure that opposition to the Supreme Court ruling will be a pivotal issue in the selection of the Republic...

After backlash for calling homosexuality a ‘choice,’ Ben Carson trumpets his support for gay civil unions

Image
March 5, 2015 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) -- Prospective Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson is backtracking after he faced strong criticism for saying homosexuality is “absolutely” a choice, and claiming this is proved by the fact that many inmates come out of prison as homosexuals . But his apology is earning him a new set of critics because, though he affirmed his belief in traditional marriage , he also trumpeted his support for homosexual civil unions and defended the right of states to create same-sex “marriage.” "I do not pretend to know how every individual came to their sexual orientation ,” Carson wrote Wednesday in the apology on his Facebook page . "I regret that my words to express that concept were hurtful and divisive. For that I apologize unreservedly to all that were offended." “Up until this point there have been no definitive studies that people are born into a specific sexuality,” Carson wrote. “We do know, however, that we are always born ...

Dr. Ben Carson tells CPAC: Homosexuals ‘don’t get extra rights’

Image
WASHINGTON, D.C. , March 10, 2014 – At CPAC , former Marine Oliver North and Dr. Ben Carson reminded cheering crowds that social issues are an integral part of America's future. Carson, the famed neurosurgeon and Johns Hopkins professor emeritus who entered the political limelight after  criticizing   President Obama   during the National Prayer Breakfast last year , said that “of course gay people should have the same rights as everyone else. But they don't get extra rights. They don't get to redefine marriage.” He also pointed to the importance of “putting what God says in front of what any man says.” At the end of the national anthem, Americans “must remember that we cannot be free if we are not brave," he added. North, a longtime political commentator and former Reagan administration official,  criticized  those who “say that we must ignore social issues, like the definition of marriage and the sanctity of life, religious freedoms.” He...

The changing definition of ‘homophobia’

Image
 In a classic episode of “ Seinfeld ” entitled “ The Outing ,” a student reporter is convinced that Jerry and George Costanza are gay. They strenuously deny being gay, while adding “not that there's anything wrong with that.” The phrase almost immediately became part of the way Americans talk about homosexuality. The “Seinfeld” episode came to mind while reading recently about the brouhaha concerning Roy Hibbert of the NBA ’s Indiana Pacers . During a press conference, Hibbert used profanity and commented about being “stretched out” on the basketball court. And then he used the phrase “no homo.” If you’re unfamiliar with that phrase, you’re not alone. It’s an expression from rap music asserting that “the speaker of such does not have any homosexual intent.” If that sounds like Wikipedia, that’s because it is. I didn’t know what it meant, and I strongly suspect that 99 percent of the people in the room didn’t either. That didn’t stop news of Hibbert’s “gay slur” from...

Dr. Ben Carson steps down as college speaker after furor over his defense of marriage

Image
BALTIMORE , April 11, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – Famed pediatric neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson announced Wednesday that he will not speak at graduation ceremonies for students at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and School of Education. Dr. Carson, who rose from poverty to become one of the leading neurosurgeons in the world, was slated to give the commencement speech at Johns Hopkins, where he has practiced since 1977. But homosexual activists, angry about comments Carson made in favor of traditional marriage, mounted a campaign to force the university to disinvite him. Carson, 61, discussed his views on same-sex “marriage” last month on  Fox News , expressing his concern that a redefinition of marriage to include homosexual couples could be a slippery slope. “Marriage is between a man and a woman,” Carson told Fox News host Sean Hannity . “It’s a well-established, fundamental pillar of society and no group — be they gays, be they NAMBLA , be they people who ...
