gotta be making big tony of scotus' hemorrhoids act up past bearing...
this is great

Deliberations really ought not to have taken more than five minutes....

And Puke / Bagger heads are exploding!

What does this ultimately mean at the state level? Does it prevent states from passing defense-of-marriage laws? Or is this a decision to be used in later cases as a way to fight the laws that are already there?

The ruling will be instantly appealed and I'm guessing a stay will be issued to prevent the ruling from taking effect until the SCOTUS arbitrates the final decision.

...blah, blah, blah.

What is brimstone, anyway?

Not surprisingly.

If not, you can read it here.

I love this part here...

...Our straightforward legal analysis sidesteps the fair
11 point that same-sex marriage is unknown to history and
12 tradition. But law (federal or state) is not concerned with
13 holy matrimony. Government deals with marriage as a civil
14 status--however fundamental--and New York has elected to
15 extend that status to same-sex couples. A state may enforce
16 and dissolve a couple’s marriage, but it cannot sanctify or
17 bless it. For that, the pair must go next door...

Woohoo!!!!

The government considers marriage a legally enforceable contract. If you want religious connotations attached to this contract, see your local religious institution, not your government.

And also how it should be imo.

I can only hope that one day soon everyone stops using"gay rights" and just use Human Rights. Because that's what we are talking about here - simple basic Human Rights and explicit denial of those rights to a group of people.
