Marriage, Homosexuality, Courts, and Constitution



The federal same-sex marriage decision out of California sets into motion a sequence of events that will result in a Supreme Court earthquake two years from now. The Supreme Court can either vindicate traditional marriage, or forever redefine the most basic unit of human civilization. Read it all here.

On August 4, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California decided Perry v. Schwarzenegger. The Federal Judge in essence substituted his thinking for that of 7 million California voters who had decided in their state that marriage would remain between one mand and one woman. The U.S. Supreme Court has held that marriage is a fundamental right in the U.S. Constitution. In this ruling, Chief Judge Vaughn Walker held that the California Constitution violates that federal right by not allowing gays to marry each other.

Although not explicitly mentioned in the Constitution, marriage is an implied fundamental right. The test for whether a right is a fundamental right is whether it is rooted in the history and tradition of the American people, and essential to an Anglo-American scheme of ordered liberty.

As one commenter to this article added, "The Constitution, Declaration of Independence, and The Ten Commandments of Almighty God are the Triune Pillars of this Republic. The basis of our "Christian Nation, Supreme Court Case, 1892" was the Bible. And that is what the enemies of America want removed from our Nation. It is the Bible and God they want US to exclude from this "Christian Nation."

Religion, morality, freedom, and liberty are under massive attack from the Socialists who want to redistribute wealth to the various interest groups who want what they want, no matter what the Christian tradition of this country is.

Together, they may bring down this country which gives them the freedom to undertake their subversive ways.
