Prudent thing to do is wait, but it will ultimately prove fruitless.

Louisiana clerks: Wait 25 days to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples


I mean the law was passed a few hours ago. Should we expect every state to already have new regulations in place? It says in the article that they will have to make changes to the conventional marriage licenses... it makes sense that they would need a little time to get everything in order before they just start handing shite out.

Is this a joke?

Governor Jindal said, “The Supreme Court decision today conveniently and not surprisingly follows public opinion polls, and tramples on states’ rights that were once protected by the 10th Amendment of the Constitution. Marriage between a man and a woman was established by God, and no earthly court can alter that.


Well we aren’t. They still aren’t going to be married in churches that don’t want them. This is about the LEGAL definition of marriage, not the religious one.

quote:

This decision will pave the way for an all out assault against the religious freedom rights of Christians who disagree with this decision. This ruling must not be used as pretext by Washington to erode our right to religious liberty.


What liberty was assaulted? How in any way did this negatively affect the rights of anyone or anything?

quote:

The government should not force those who have sincerely held religious beliefs about marriage to participate in these ceremonies. That would be a clear violation of America’s long held commitment to religious liberty as protected in the First Amendment.


Who is forcing anyone to “participate in these ceremonies”? What the frick is he talking about?

quote:

I will never stop fighting for religious liberty and I hope our leaders in D.C. join me.”


His political career is fricking done.

So there was no such thing as marriage before Christianity?

He won't be back in Louisiana for a couple of weeks anyway.

Well I understand the 25dsys, there's no point in issuing a license if an appeal can be filed and the whole thing overturned and now you have a defunct marriage license. Now if they were delaying the licenses just bc they're gay that would be a different story.
