South Carolina Supreme Court Halts Same-Sex Marriage Licenses

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — The South Carolina Supreme Court is ordering state probate courts not to issue same-sex marriage licenses until a federal judge decides whether the state constitution's ban on the unions is legal.

The Supreme Court's order disappointed dozens of gay couples in a whirlwind week of legal maneuvers.
 
LOL......pretty soon it will only be a handful few Southern States who still seek to impose governmental bigotry....but even those are soon to fall.
 
One for the good guys..............

Yeah...

"Good Guys"...

On the more interesting side, I wonder if judgements in this direction make it more likely that SCOTUS will take up the issue.
 
The South Carolina Supreme court does not have authority over US Circuit Courts of Appeals. South Carolina is under the jurisdiction of the US 4th Circuit court of appeals.

There are 13 regional US circuit courts of appeal. Court Locator


This is like the Louisiana state judge making a ruling on SSM. Amusing but not relevant.

Damn right! If we can stop gay people from getting married then maybe that will significantly discourage gay people from having gay sex and less gay sex in turn will reduce the number of gay babies that are born. Brilliant! :blink:

Will you be moving to SC sometime soon? The political climate there seems to suit you far more than WA.
 
again, at the fear of getting further warnings, I must point out how any other issue which produces multiple(and constant) threads like these ALWAYS get there own subject forum. Every day there is some minor news on this subject, the threads begin anew every day, and they end up always devolving into this "we're the GOOD guys, the south is bigoted" garbage. Just MOVE it all to it's own forum and that way when someone is interested in debated this thing into the GROUND on a 24 hour basis, they can. It's just getting tiresome to see it always be 3 of the top 7 threads every day of the week. VERY tiresome.
 
No one has ever been able to answer the question: How does two people getting married, gay or straight affect you negatively?

SSM hurts no one, except maybe for the bigots and haters blood pressures.

the site has the words "debate" and "politics" in it's name. Neither go on in this thread or any like it. It's all just static now.

Spoken like a true conservative, Sir. Just what we need--the state telling us how to get married. The more state the better, right? :roll:

Well the state SC ordered licensing to stop and that is a step in t he right direction IMHO.

Better then the federal government do it.

I won't be moving even though I live in enemy territory I love it here.

Some of us, present company excludrd don't want the definition of marriage changed...Most of us could care less what gays do in their bedroom........

If you don't like it don't read it or post to it...There are a lot of topics in DP you can read and comment on

I hate to jump on a fellow Conservative but that is how I feel..

Coupla things......

You do realize that the definition of marriage wasn't always what it is now, thus, I suspect, your're not the defender of words that you claim to be.

Furthermore, the definition isn't changing, it's already too late!!

a (1) : the state of being united to a person of the opposite sex as husband or wife in a consensual and contractual relationship recognized by law (2) : the state of being united to a person of the same sex in a relationship like that of a traditional marriage <same-sex marriage>

Marriage - Definition and More from the Free Merriam-Webster Dictionary

Ahhhhhh!!!!!

Lastly, what does it matter to you? If the definition were to include marriage to animals, would that affect your relationship or the relationship of others to their spouses?

Defending a definition is nothing more than an excuse to discriminate...
 
LOL......pretty soon it will only be a handful few Southern States who still seek to impose governmental bigotry....but even those are soon to fall.

You want more government authority. Here it is. Congragulations!

Just the opposite. Government should not be in the business of deciding who consenting adults can marry.

Except for the fact that SCOTUS refused to rule on gay marriage, which makes it anybody's ball game.
