Tag: DOMABy JGillman, Section News
At least ONE state official recognizes the danger of an activist high court.
In the decision striking down Certain DOMA sections, the court implied much but fell short of 'legalizing' same sex couplings as 'marriage' nationwide. They cannot, and even as twisted as the court has become, the 'Overton Window' of sorts is not yet aligned with the court bringing outright infringements upon the states. (though Roberts came close with O-Care) However, the court DID refuse to hear the case regarding prop 8 in California, a move that signals to activists nationwide that same-sex bans need only make it to the nearest capitulating federal judge. That judge can then override the will of the people in a state, and force a perverse application of reality on that state's citizens. And the high court will look the other way. Attorney General Bill Schuette sees the writing on the wall and has responded: As you may know, the Michigan Constitution defines marriage as the union of one man and one woman (Article 1, Section 25). This was placed in the constitution after being passed by the voters with 58% of the vote. And this language still stands in Michigan, unaltered by the United States Supreme Court's rulings yesterday.And we need more like you Mr AG. And as an aside? The Supreme Court Of The United States can take their "standing" rule and shove it where the appendix begins.
We ALL have standing when the laziness of case law is the norm. (2 comments) Comments >> By JGillman, Section News
Rep Tim Walberg (R-7) released the following statement after the Supreme Court's decisions on marriage:
Marriage IS between a man and a woman. Period. Because the Queers (Their label not mine) want to play house, adopt children to indoctrinate into their LIFESTYLE and get the benefits normal couples receive, this has been pushed. As for those benefits, our tax dollars being used to encourage a perverse and dangerous lifestyle is troubling. It violates our freedom of conscience. With the ruling, comes a claim to federal benefits for same sex couples recognized as being legally 'married'. And our REPUBLICAN Governor is not willing to stand up for the state voters' referendum. "The decisions just came down and they don't apply to Michigan. So the way I view it is, I'm going to follow what Michigan law is, and I'll keep track of what's going on in the federal courts," Snyder said... until there is some money provided to make up for benefits of same sex (married) partners. Ya know what? I feel so safe knowing our governor is out there protecting the sovereignty of our state.. Right. (2 comments) Comments >> By JGillman, Section News
For adding to the illegitimacy of the nation's highest court.
Statement by Gary Glenn, president, American Family Association of Michigan:
Michigan's Marriage Protection Amendment remains in place, and marriage in Michigan remains only between one man and one woman, at least until the next lawyer in a black robe decides he has the power to overturn the vote of millions of Michigan citizens, including the two-thirds of black voters and two-thirds of union households who voted in favor of that amendment.

Had Michigan not been as close, the Democrats would have waited to spring this on us in the general election. Luckily we have it now and I hope Ohio voters are paying attention. And the MI-GOP Leadership threw away their credibility over him? Losers. (26 comments) Comments >> By Corinthian Scales, Section News
Here's a hint for ya Willard, Blunt- RUBIO !!!!!!
Now, read the lame walk back from a guy that's been campaigning for 5 years:
"I didn't understand his question; of course I support the Blunt amendment," Romney said on the Howie Carr Show. "I thought he was talking about some state law that prevented people from getting contraception, so I was simply -- misunderstood the question, and of course I support the Blunt Amendment." He's tripping over himself so badly in fear of his religion coming under scrutiny in the this election it's sickening. Obama/Axelrod is going to have a field day in the general if the Repub establishment succeeds with their chosen son. For record, the Democrats blocked Blunt today. By Corinthian Scales, Section News
Gee, America thanks you, Elder Jihad-Mitt. Obviously Romney has chosen the appropriate Wingman this primary too. With folk like Romney and Paul in the GOP working for this, what could possibly go wrong? I'm absolutely positive that between their efforts we can Kumbaya Musloids into submission. Ya, that's the ticket. Sleep tight... (4 comments) Comments >> By Corinthian Scales, Section News
Res ipsa loquitur. Let it be known right now... I will work tirelessly to derail the reelections of all those in Michigan that endorsed this flip-flopping habitual liar. Romney endorsers delenda est. (7 comments) Comments >> By Corinthian Scales, Section News
During the trip, the Boston Globe reported, Romney's oldest son, Tagg, looked around through the rear window and yelled, "Dad -- gross!" A brown liquid was dripping down the back window -- diarrhea from an animal that just might have been caused by the stress of being inside a cage for 12 hours on top of a car going 60 mph. And what did Romney do, even after knowing of the dog's diarrhea? Did he realize that perhaps Seamus should be shown some mercy, cleaned up and allowed in the car, to sleep on someone's lap?
