How is it disapointing? Does Ron and Steve getting married really effect you that much? You don't live in Cali, so this has no bearing on you.
As opposed to the biased public who voted for Prop 8 in the first place? Which one is more legally informed? He corrected an action that never should have taken place. If California's legislature had passed a law or rewritten the state constitution, I wouldn't have challenged it, just as I respect the rights of those states whose legislatures passed similar measures. It's only when you allow the public to vote emotionally on a (alleged) civil rights issue that you get this problem. Either way, I can't wait for it to reach the SC. It's going to be a fascinating discourse.
Don't know Ron and Steve but why do they have to be married? why can't they have a civil union instead? I have said it here before I think that the word marriage should be up to the church and if you are joined leagally by a civil athority you should have a civil union. Just my opinion!
Define what makes him biased? Because he is gay? So wouldn't that make any married straight judge biased as well?hmy:
That's true! I picked a poor descriptive word there. How about jerk does that work? He is a jerk because I do not agree with him.
So a man and a women who go to a justice of the peace are having a civil union? Why isn't the government issued document called a civil union license?
I agree with his conservative leanings. You know he was appointed by Ronald Regan. And was a big time time adversary of Nancy Pelosi.
Why not, what would be wrong with that? So the government would have to issue two different certs. that mean about the same thing but are called something different based on who joined you.
I'd support that in a heartbeat. As long as you understand that would make straight marriages civil unions in the eyes of the law as well.
Does a word mean that much to you? It's obviously not that sacred anymore, since what? 3 out to 4 marriages end in divorce?
Yes, I actually feel strongly about it! We all know marriage is what you make of it. Who knows? If someone wants the title then maybe it will help it mean more for them.
The gays want the title. Let them use it and it will mean much more to them than 3 out of 4 couples, I'd bet.
I don't care what they call it, as long as they allow it. It will have no bearing at all on anyone else's marriage. Everyone is an American, and should be treated equally.
Sure why not! I just think the word means something and that others feel the same way. If it means something to you, you should have the option of having the title for what it traditionally means.
So they'd be different, but mean about the same thing. Separate certificates, but they'd be equal. Hmmm. Seperate but equal. Why does that ring a bell...
