Matt D Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Promoted up another notch on the bureaucratic later. The cool thing about this one isn't the addition of the word "senior" to my admittedly meager title. It's that it's two promotions, two years in a row, which is just not done in this institution. This one was a big surprise. I wasn't expecting it for another 3-4 years due to the way that Time In Grade used to work around here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought this was supposed to make it all 50? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 No, what it does is requires all 50 states to recognize the legality of a marriage that took place in one of those 37 states. The state itself doesn't have to perform or licence the marriage, but if it took place in a state that *does* issue the licence, a state that doesn't needs to recognize it. I forget the exact clause it sites, but its in the decision somewhere. EDIT: Quick glance sites the 14th. Also clearly states that the 1st keeps it so religious institutions don't have to officiate if they don't want to, so "Attack on Religious Liberties" can go suck an egg.

I support the ruling, but I am not sure that the 14th Amendment is really something that should apply to "marriage equality." I find it odd that SCOTUS would cite it for an interpretation, but this has been an odd SCOTUS in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it odd that SCOTUS would cite it for an interpretation, but this has been an odd SCOTUS in general. Here's the relevant portion from the Fourteenth: No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. Emphasis added. Basically, if the state and federal governments are going to have laws and regulations that relate to a person's marital status, they have to allow all citizens the right to marry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it odd that SCOTUS would cite it for an interpretation, but this has been an odd SCOTUS in general. From the opinion: It is now clear that the challenged laws burden the liberty of same-sex couples, and it must be further acknowledged that they abridge central precepts of equality . . . Especially against a long history of disapproval of their relationships, this denial to same-sex couples of the right to marry works a grave and continuing harm. The imposition of this disability on gays and lesbians serves to disrespect and subordinate them. And the Equal Protection Clause, like the Due Process Clause, prohibits this unjustified infringement of the fundamental right to marry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Yeah, Equal Protection clause, which is what they used to uphold The California Supreme Court's Overturning of Prop 8 and Overturn DOMA Federally, so Presidence was already there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 My favorite part of all of this has been the massive butthurt from all the conservatives on my FB and Twitter feeds. Yeah, definitely. Living in the heart of the Bible Belt does my feed no favors, either. I just saw a picture re-posted by a high school "friend" that was the Confederate and LBGT flags side-by-side, and the text reading: "If you have a problem with this flag (Confederate) and not this one (LBGT), your apart of the problem." I'm just going to let this one go, and just enjoy one of the rare times when my government actually does something I agree with, believe in and can put my full support behind. Now, let's get started on decriminalizing marijuana. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
