Unconstitutional: Court makes major ruling on Oklahoma’s ban on gey marriage


DEMOCRACY!

OKLAHOMA CITY – The 10th Circuit Court of Appeals has made a major ruling in the case of Oklahoma’s ban on gay marriage.

The ruling states Oklahoma’s law is unconstitutional, saying same-sex couples have a Constitutional right to marry.

“Oklahoma’s efforts to retain its definition of marriage are benign, and very much unlike race-based restrictions on marriage invalidated in Loving v. Virginia,” the court ruled.

It continued by saying, “The court shortchanges the analysis of whether the fundamental right to marriage includes same-gender couples by asserting, “one might just as easily have argued that interracial couples are by definition excluded from the institution of marriage.”

“The Court has been vigilant in striking down impermissible constraints on the right to marriage, but there is nothing in the earlier cases suggesting that marriage has historically been defined as only an emotional union among willing adults,” the ruling stated.

As usual no one is going to protest the decision. If these people had any sense of justice they would go and remove these judges for interference of democracy. Off with their heads!
