Democrats Have Marriage and States’ Rights in Their Sights for Lame Duck Session
Since the unconstitutional Roe v. Wade was overturned in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, leftists have been roiling in rage at the thought that states are now free to enact the will of their voters with regard to killing humans in the womb. In his concurrence, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas argued that three other Supreme Court cases should be revisited in that they too lacked constitutional grounding—an argument made also by the esteemed Antonin Scalia and Robert Bork.
One of the decisions Thomas believes should be revisited is the Obergefell decision that imposed same-sex “marriage” …

Judge Loses Her Position for Belief in Traditional Marriage
Busy schedule? Valid reason. Don’t know the couple? Valid reason. Watching football? Still a valid reason. Violates your conscience? You’re fired. Or so goes the logic of the Wyoming Supreme Court.
In December 2014, a reporter asked Judge Ruth Neely whether her faith would allow her to perform a same-sex “wedding” in her official capacity as a local municipal judge. Citing her belief in the Biblical definition of marriage, Judge Ruth Neely said she could not. Judge Neely had not been asked to do a same-sex ceremony. In spite of the fact that many other judges in the district were …
Alabama Supreme Court DID Reject U.S. Supreme Court Marriage Opinion
Probate Judge Don Davis asked to be relieved of the order because it would …
Alabama Supreme Court Rejects SCOTUS Marriage Opinion
[On Friday] in a 170-page ruling, the Alabama Supreme Court rejected the U.S. Supreme Court’s marriage opinion by issuing its own Judgment in favor of Liberty Counsel’s Petition for Mandamus. In the petition, Liberty Counsel demanded on behalf of its Alabama clients – Alabama Policy Institute (“API”) and Alabama Citizens Action Program (“ALCAP”) – that the state’s probate judges obey Alabama’s Constitution and laws. On March 4, 2015, the Alabama Supreme Court ordered the probate judges to immediately cease issuing same-sex marriage licenses.
“The ruling last year by the Alabama Supreme Court was historic, and is one of the most …
Legal Scholars Rise Up Against Supreme Court’s Gay Marriage Decision
I’ve been saying that 2015 is the year of pushback, and this might be the most significant act of pushing back so far: A group of legal scholars, most of them university professors, have declared that the U.S. Supreme Court’s redefinition of marriage this past June 26th is not “the law of the land,” and they are calling on all office holders, together with all presidential candidates, to join them in rejecting the Court’s decision.
Make no mistake about it: This is really big news.
These scholars, who teach at schools like Princeton and Oxford and Notre Dame …
Kim Davis, ‘Lawless’ in Kentucky
In Which I Paint With Some Bright Yellows
A consensus appears to be developing among otherwise reasonable people that Kim Davis, of Rowan County fame, either needs to start issuing marriage licenses or quit her job.
For those just joining us, a county clerk in Kentucky is refusing to issue marriage licenses against her conscience and is also refusing to resign. Her name, which should be on a bronze plaque on the side of the courthouse, is Kim Davis. A federal judge has ordered her to appear in his courtroom Thursday to explain why Davis should not be held in contempt of court for refusing to issue marriage …
Governing Against the Will of the People
Last week I mentioned how the perception advanced by the media is that most Americans support the unraveling of marriage (because the media supports this). In their minds, the U.S. Supreme Court simply settled it on the majority opinion side. I told you of a new Associated Press poll finding more Americans opposing the court ruling than supporting it. That poll also found nearly 60 percent of the U.S. is concerned about the potential loss of religious freedom because of the homosexual political agenda.
A few days after that AP poll, the Washington Post revealed that in their …
New Polling Finds Most Americans Oppose Marriage Ruling
The results of a new national poll won’t likely appear in your local newspaper or mainstream media outlets. Even though the Associated Press conducted the poll, their results don’t fit the media’s narrative and celebration of the U.S. Supreme Court’s redefinition of marriage.
The new poll finds that support for same-sex marriage has dropped nine points since April to 34 percent, while opposition is up four points to 34 percent. America is split right down the middle on this matter. More Americans oppose the Supreme Court’s ruling than support it (41 percent – 39 percent).
Just as important are the …
