...sad about The Supreme's ruling to let gay marriages in five states stand.

William J. Howell, the Republican speaker of the Virginia House of
Delegates, said in a statement that he was disappointed by the court’s
ruling, and he criticized Mark Herring, the state’s Democratic attorney
general, for refusing to defend the state’s ban on marriage, adopted in a
constitutional amendment in 2006.

“I am a strong supporter of traditional marriage. There are many
Virginians who agree with me and some who do not,� Mr. Howell said.
“Regardless of how one feels about marriage, we should all agree that
Virginians deserve to have their voices heard and votes vigorously
defended in court. That did not happen in this case.�

Mr. Herring waved aside the criticism during an impromptu news conference
on the steps of the Arlington courthouse. Flanked by gay members of the
Arlington county board and the State Legislature, Mr. Herring hailed the court’s ruling.

In an interview after the news conference, Mr. Herring said Virginia had
long been on what he considered to be the wrong side of history, citing
the civil rights cases of Brown vs. Board of Education and the 1996 case
that struck down the male-only admissions policy at the Virginia Military Institute.

“I was determined to make sure that the injustices of Virginia’s position
in those past cases were not repeated again,� Mr. Herring said.


(Indeed, Virginia has a long and sordid history of denying civil rights
to its citizens. Herring did not mention Loving v. Virginia, 388 U.S. 1
(1967), was a landmark civil rights decision of the United States Supreme
Court which invalidated laws prohibiting interracial marriage.

From Wiki:

The case was brought by Mildred Loving, a black woman, and Richard
Loving, a white man, who had been sentenced to a year in prison in
Virginia for marrying each other. Their marriage violated the Virginia's
anti-miscegenation statute, the Racial Integrity Act of 1924, which
prohibited marriage between people classified as "white" and people
classified as "colored". The Supreme Court's unanimous decision held this
prohibition was unconstitutional, overturning Pace v. Alabama (1883) and
ending all race-based legal restrictions on marriage in the United States.

The decision was followed by an increase in interracial marriages in the
U.S., and is remembered annually on Loving Day, June 12. It has been the
subject of two movies as well as songs. Beginning in 2013, it was cited
as precedent in U.S. federal court decisions holding restrictions on
same-sex marriage in the United States unconstitutional.

Have a nice day, Speaker Howell.)


I think the AG is totally wrong. Should be recalled or fired. Wither you
are for or against same sex marriage, the AG's job is to represent the
peoples wishes. Would be like you hired an attorney in a tort case, and
they decided you should not win, and did everything to cause you to lose.
Same thing happened in California. AG decide not to defend a law passed by
a majority of the people. Supremes could still rule the same way, but the
people of the state deserve decent representation.



The AG's position on this issue was well-known before the recent Virginia
election that put him in office. His opponent, a right-wing zealot, lost
the election, along with the other Republican right-wing zealots. I think
the same sort of "sweep defeat" is looming for the GOP statewide
candidates in Kansas...perhaps the public is just tiring of state
governments run by right-wing, overly religious zealots.


Then she should of recused herself. She is paid to do a job.

The Supreme Court didn't "rule" on anything. They dodged the case.

If they had actually ruled, it would be legal in 51 states.

Perhaps when a more conservative circuit court rules the other way
they will step up.



Step up? You mean step backwards? The four rightwing clowns on the court
decided not to hear the case. You may not think so, but that is a ruling.

Best thing that ever happened to curb population growth. 'Marrying'
sheep ought to be legal also.

I expect the obligatory hate from krause on any subject, but yours still
surprises and disappoints me...

What hate? I have changed my whole attitude with regard to gay
'marriage'. I'm all for their unions. And if they want to use the word
'marriage', that's fine too. I don't consider it a marriage, but if it
curbs population growth, it can't be too bad.

'Hate' is an emotion that takes work. Krause is definitely not worth
it. 'Pity' is probably closer, but I think the feeling is more like
that experienced upon seeing a pile of dog poop on the sidewalk.
