These noisy whiny little stalinists have been wearying from the start. Their attack-dog brain-dead tactics are THE reason why many in the rest of society do not believe in this issue.<br />Judge Ware is a "B" judge, good but not great, but he does have a history of fabrication. I think he got caught up in a story, starring himself, and then, having spoken of it publicly, couldn't back out.<br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Ware_(judge)Amartelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11636450794507517534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-29642116199679203422011-04-28T11:28:50.682-04:002011-04-28T11:28:50.682-04:00Vet, that actually occurred to me to. You can'...Vet, that actually occurred to me to. You can't really claim that a gay judge would have a stake in the outcome of this case without also acknowledging that a straight judge would have the same interest.<br /><br />However, for your argument that gays should be entitled to some "marriage[sic]" fails when you examine the purpose of marriage. It's for the children. Men much wiser than us have deemed that the most desirable way to raise a child is with a mother and a father present. If you don't believe that this is the case, would you be able to deny a child (in the case of adoption) a father? A mother?<br /><br />Regardless, if you view a marriage as simply a legal arrangement, some way to divvy up state or company benefits, then the argument becomes much weaker (but more interesting IMO). In a purely financial arrangement, I could "marry" any random Joe I found for the sake of an abstract financial reason. At this point, your definition of "marriage" becomes nebulous and actually kinda freaky.<br /><br />I've pretty much given up on this fight. The whole idea of "marriage" has been weakened until now the whole concept is in the realm of accountants and politicians as a financial and legal abstraction.

In my opinion gay marriage would be a legal institution and not a biblical institution. People get hung up on biblical marriage being about a man and a woman, but they conveniently forget that it is about being bound together by God. So how is the marriage between two atheists any more biblical than the marriage between two homosexuals?<br /> However, I also agree with Judge Ware, that Judge Walker should have recused himself because of his personal interests in the case. Teddy’s comments are completely out of line, and utterly inexplicable. <br />As to LC2f4osPo_IvX77QSFcrIdwA3AI-'s comment. I think its preposterous to say that the Judge is biased based on the argument that the defense is making. Just because the defense is arguing that gay marriage does damage to the institution of heterosexual marriage, doesn't mean that the Judge prescribes to that believe or that the argument is even valid.Jakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11904791827959032584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-31807695758178628542011-04-28T11:12:52.094-04:002011-04-28T11:12:52.094-04:00Who gave the court the power to redefine the Engli...Who gave the court the power to redefine the English language?<br /><br />I'm very pessimistic about this. I can't remember the last court 'win' for conservatives, not-withstanding the two obamacare cases. It seems even if we achieve the desired verdict, there will *always* be some weasel tactic for evading the consequences of decisions (i.e. ignoring the rulings on firearms in Chicago or EPA regulations).quiznilohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12086468386552688955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-36759034238509128152011-04-28T11:02:46.911-04:002011-04-28T11:02:46.911-04:00LC2etc, please, inform all us dumb people.
