Court fight over same-sex marriage aims to bring down landmark ruling
Many disputes arose a few years ago when the then-liberal U.S. Supreme Court created, in a decision condemned as unrelated to the Constitution, same-sex "marriage" for the entire nation.
One of the more vicious was a series of lawsuits against a Kentucky county clerk who declined to issue ANY marriage licenses for a time because of the conflict the court decision created with her own constitutionally protected religious rights.
An activist federal judge, David Bunning, took up the LGBT agenda and put Kim Davis in jail for a time. And two same-sex duos sued her for damages...........................
One of those cases was ended without damages, but another jury awarded each of the duo $50,000 in damages and Bunning piled on with an order for her to pay some $240,000 in lawyers' fees.
That's the case that's now going to the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
But the goal is much higher than that single verdict..............
.....(T)he appeal charges, "Obergefell should be overturned for the same reasons articulated by the court in Dobbs," Dobbs being the decision that decimated the Roe v. Wade decision from 1973 that similarly created a federal "right" to abortion.
The appeal charges, "Obergefell's atextual rights creation was not deeply rooted in the nation's history or traditions."
In fact, the appeal explains "Obergefell was not grounded in the nation's history or traditions, nor could it have been because it was not rooted in any nation's history or traditions. As Chief Justice Roberts noted, the right that the Obergefell majority created out of whole cloth was inconsistent with 'the meaning of marriage that has persisted in every culture throughout human history.' Indeed, 'marriage has existed for millennia and across civilizations [and] [f]or all those millennia, across all those civilizations, marriage referred to only one relationship: the union of a man and a woman.'"
