The only thing related to same sex marriage that can crudely be linked in the constitution is not there. It is in the declaration of independence which claims people have a right to freedom, prosperity, and the pursuit of happiness. Meaning that people have a right to be happy how they please if it does not violate freedom or prosperity.
So pretty much there's nothing in the constitution about it. You have a choice to how you want to live, and people have to change that by their talking, not law. You can't force a life style onto anybody if it violates those three things in the Dec of Ind.

Having a father and a mother seems like more of a survival of the species issue than a gay issue to me.
But to a gay judge, might be difficult to separate the two issues ...

If you were a judge, would you rule that every
child has both a need and a right for a mother?
If I were a judge, I wouldn't touch the issue. I would assert that my position as a judge conveyed no authority to rule either way on such a matter, and refuse the case.
And I would do it loudly in hopes that it would set a precedent.

YOU DO NOT HAVE A RIGHT to a mother or a father.
If you did - we wouldn't have orphanages, now, would we?

He is a judge first - - conservative nominated by Reagan.
Probably should check his record.

As for the gay judge, he should have known that being gay would create this kind of scrutiny and recused himself.

Surprise! You are here too. Duh!
I follow 50 threads - - according to you they are all gay related.
What I follow are my interests. One happens to be Equal Rights. What about you?

On another thread people are trying to connect Beck and his planet of the apes statement in attempt to prove racism.
But on this thread - according to you - there can absolutely be no connection between a gay judge and his ruling in favor of gay rights.
To an unbiased person looking at both, the later example is not so much of a logical stretch as the former, now is it?
