1:00, by “DOMA” do they include section 2, or just section 3?
Amend the constitution. States have shown that throughout our republics
history they have failed to implement many human rights issues ie slavery,
desegregation, voting rights, and equality, and must require the oversight
of the federal government. This again requires the federal government to
acknowledged what we truly know: The Constitution and the 1st amendment
clearly states that all men have these rights. Marriage cannot even be
defined by a government , let alone restricted by one.
I write here in Brazil and I think the work of clarification and help you
make very important, not their sexual orientation diminishes you as a human
being and not affect your character, each has the right to freedom and
happiness
I’m quietly but nervously waiting for the outcome of the the Supreme Court
Conference on September 24 relating to the Prop 8 case. No matter what
finally happens with this appalling change to a state’s constitution it
will be a cautionary tail for history classes as an example democracy going
awry. This is why the founders made us a republic not a direct democracy,
Thank you Matt for the updates.
DOMA will be repealed and marriage equality be will law in all of the land.
This is not the will of God. He has heard your affliction,Gay rights,gay
marriage will pass and a revival in the homosexuality will be sparked. God
says,, He will use the homosexual community to spark a revival in the
nation. He loves you ,, come just as you are.. put your fornication and
idols away and return to your God.
lol the scottish referendum is on INDEPENDENCE not SAME-SEX MARRIAGE-
that’s a pretty big mistake considering it has been stressed repeatedly
that there would be no public vote on equality
Why is it a site that is for equal rights is less bias in its news that Fox
news?
I’m surprised there are *any* constitutional law professors who think DOMA
is constitutional. It violates the Equal Protection Clause of the
Fourteenth Amendment.
Jesus said, come unto me all yee that are heavy laden and i will give you
rest, that means “ALL” not the righteous or religious, but all of us, for
God so love the world, not just America but the whole world. that he gave
his only begotten son, Thanks God for He is the source of Love and
Compassion
Thank you for the update. You have the Scottish situation slightly wrong
however. In any part of the UK or indeed most of Europe we would never put
an issue like marriage equality to a referendum. The parliament will vote
on this in the next session and it is most likely to pass because there is
cross party majority support. The referendum you are hearing about in 2014
is a decision for the Scottish on whether they should separate from the UK
and become an independent country.
Thanks for keeping me up to date on all the marriage news
