Come on. Come clean. You are just pretending not to understand the process right? Right?southwind said:So, are you saying the majority has spoken?
700UW said:The majority?
Do you really even understand what happened?
The court issued a stay until the case is heard at a higher level.
So no the majority did not speak.
Dont let the facts get in your way.
http://news.yahoo.com/supreme-court-puts-utah-same-sex-marriage-hold-154258818--politics.htmlSbeity and partner Derek Kitchen are among three couples who brought the Utah lawsuit that led to the surprise Dec. 20 ruling by U.S. District Judge Robert Shelby, who said the state's ban on same-sex marriage violated gay and lesbian couples' constitutional rights.
Sure about that?Black Magic said:
Well 70 percent of Utah did vote against homosexual marriage so yes the majority did speak.
Utah is one of 33 states to have banned same-sex marriage either through its constitution or by statute. In 2004, 66 percent of Utahns approved Amendment 3 and its traditional definition of marriage.
Shelby acknowledged in his ruling that "few questions are as politically charged in the current climate," but he said the plaintiffs in the case were asking a question that depended on the U.S. Constitution.
"The state’s current laws deny its gay and lesbian citizens their fundamental right to marry and, in so doing, demean the dignity of these same-sex couples for no rational reason," the judge wrote. "Accordingly, the court finds that these laws are unconstitutional."

And it was found unconstitutional, now wasnt it?

Also Slavery was legal in the US in the past, its not now, so just because laws are passed and people vote, doesnt mean its constitutional.
Guess you dont remember Abortion was illegal too, until Roe vs Wade.
