      What is the inevitable result and what is the causal factor you are talking about (related to the federal government reaching into more and more things)?

            An by inevitable result you mean, elected judge panders to his base, one again demonstrating why judges should not be elected.

              Yeah, I read about a state judge spouting off in a way that will not be taken seriously. Is that the inevitable result you are despairing about. And is a supreme court decision your example of reaching into more and more things. I know you are never anxious to talk specifics, Bob, but is that what you meant?

                  It's inevitable that judges will decide not to judge and INVITE the SCOTUS to intervene in things like this? That's what the judge is doing.

                  If you want the government to reach more and more into your states lives, then go ahead, don't judge. Let the feds decide for you. But don't get your pants in a bunch that they are intervening when the judge clearly is punting on the decision- someone has to.

                  I don't understand that position.

                  The only part of the law that the SCOTUS overruled was that you can't restrict marriage to a man and a woman, just as long as it's two people. Says nothing about the rest of the rules. If a judge decides that there's more to it than that, and is not willing to judge, well step down and let someone have some confidence that being a Judge is to judge something. And don't complain when you don't judge, and then someone has to intervene.

                    It won't go to SCOTUS, Tennessee's appellate courts will handle it fine.

                      It may not, but that's what the judge is claiming will happen, so he's not judging. His lack of judgment costs a lot of money, because it has to go to an appellate court, in a case that was highly unlikely that it would. So not only is the judge inviting intervention, he's wasting money. So much for trying to get a small government that does not waste money.

                        I think Bob was referring to the case of SCOTUS v. Murican, 666 Bob 1 (2013). In SCOTUS, the Supreme Court filed suit against Murican, claiming it had the right (and even the responsibility) to reach into Murican's things wherever they could be found. Having original jurisdiction in cases in which itself was the Plaintiff, SCOTUS ruled in favor of itself, granting itself even further powers to not only reach into Murican's things but to fondle them. Justice Scalia authored the opinion, stating that he was still ****ed at the Court's mistaken decision not to reach into Terri Schiavo's things when asked to do so by A Lot of Republicans.

                        Murican has filed a writ of certiorari with a Higher Power. No word on when that decision will come down.

                          Bob may have, but the judge clearly was not.

                            See, if you and the troll brigade weren't so smarmy, I might make more of an effort to respond to you. Wishful thinking.

                              You really don't see the problem of one State recognizing one marriage and another state not recognizing it?

                              That article was written about a Judge who clearly has been taking too much crack.

                              My favorite last night was the conservative who was telling everyone that pastors, priests, and other clergy were going to be forced to marry gay people if it's against their beliefs. Even when reminded that clergy do not have to marry hetero couples if they don't want to the nut job still continued to fan the flames.

                              Man, this is a stupid issue.
