Iowans dismiss three justices

That's far from being a "fact". The true fact is that Americans are moving steadily towards tolerance, if not full acceptance, of gays. The majority of holdouts are older Christian "conservatives". A problem that tends to fix itself over time. With that acceptance, full rights are inevitable.

I don't know how you figure that but I am tired of justices making law instead of interpreting it.........

What part of their ruling do you consider legislating? Have you actually read the ruling? What part of it do you disagree with? Without answering simple questions like these, claiming activist judge and legislating from the bench is nonsense.

Why do you think the good people of Iowa kicked them out?

What does this have to do with my comments Navy? In point of fact, nothing. You made the "legislating" comment. Can you back it up?
 
I love how our judiciary is independent, except when it's not.

NO ONE made law. Read the decision. It was based on existing law.

So you think that the Dred Scott decision was correct?

It was correct for the Northerners. If slaves had been counted as citizens, the South would have gained a truckload of new congressional districts.

Believe it, or not, there was method to the madness.

Do you disapprove of homosexuality? Do you supports laws that discriminate against homosexuals? Do you worry about a gay man touching your dick when you're in the shower?

If the answer to all those is yes then you are in fact a homophobic bigot. Having a different opinion doesn't make you a bigot. It's what you say and do within those opinions that makes you a bigot.

Quit complaining about being called out for what you are.

Your vitreol disgusts me. So if I were to disagree with homosexuality that makes me a "homophobic bigot"?

Fool, I am neither afraid of them nor do I think myself better than them. Don't be a cop-out. Don't keep going off at the mouth.

What you're doing is making huge mountains out of molehills, so stop now while you have some credibility left.

The major problem here is the judges did their job. Rule on law and used law as their justification. Calling them activist is inaccurate and removing people for doing their job sends a very wrong message.

Quite correctly so. We all know no liberal activist judges exist. Well played, my boy!

It relates to the demoralization of the world. I bet you can't wait till' incest becomes morally acceptable.

Who had post 63 for the incest reference pool? All we need now is bestiality and polygamy and we have the whole gay marriage red herring set.

If one form of harmless sexual deviation becomes tolerable, then it is insane to think other forms of sexual deviation aren't.

I know you're trying to be funny, but I'm not humored.

Which is irrelevant to the discussion.

The idiotic notion put forth is that abiding to such laws is morally correct even when the obvious moral choice is different. Effectively you are arguing might makes right.

After bestiality I think he'll bring up Hitler.
 
Hatuey said:
Will you look at that.... 6 posts in and somebody mentions pedophilia in a thread about judges who were dismissed for supporting gay marriage.

Pedophilia. Godwin's law for Homos.

If you don't support pedophilia, what's your problem?
 
Wake said:
Don't be a fool. Hitler has nothing to do with this.

Neither does incest or pedophilia, and yet both have been brought up.

It was presented as an example of how the people voted to oust judges that did not adhere to the sensibilities of their constituents. I think there was nothing wrong with it.

Knowing what the legal definition of consent is?

Pedophilia isn't illegal because of the act itself. It's illegal because there are laws of consent and when a minor is allowed to give such consent. Pedophilia is more a of a tradition than marriage between a man and a woman. Actually marriage between a man and a woman is for all historical purposes a very recent Protestant 'tradition'. The tradition for marriage has always 1 man and many women and this all over the world.

Now are you going to keep trolling?

They also get brought up in every single thread on the topic. It's pretty likely that those examples are not picked randomly.

Those are other forms of sexual deviation. Sexual immorality. Hitler has no importance in this discussion of homosexuality; however, including other forms of sexual immorality that are as "harmless" as homosexuality, is. Homosexuality, polygamy, incest, bestiality, necrophilia(damned disgusting), adultery, fornication, and pedophilia are all forms of sexual immorality.

You can roll sh*t in powdered sugar but that doesn't make it a donut.
