He is wrong legally and he knows it. It is going to end up costing him his judgeship again and that is a shame because he is a good appellate judge.

Gay marriage is not a popularity contest and the majority doesn't get to rule. If a popular vote ruled the law in this country (it never has and we are not designed that way), then segregation might still be legal.

You guys are letting your religious views cloud your judgment. This countries laws are designed to protect the minority as much as the majority. If doesn't work to say that something should not be legal because you don't like it.

The issue of discrimination against homosexuals should not be decided based upon a biblical ideal, but rather an equal protection under the law ideal. It is an equal protection issue.

Everyone wants to scream because the word marriage is used. No one can honestly say that the use of the word marriage by homosexuals makes your marriage or any heterosexual marriage mean less.

I am tired of people projecting their beliefs on others. Because you believe it is wrong, no one should be able to do it. It is not the place of anyone to project their version of morality on others.

Give me a break, this issue is not about a word, it is about protection committed gay life partners, lover, husbands and husband or how ever else you want to put it. so that they can get the same benefits and protections as heterosexual married couples.

On a side note. Most of your religious conservatives would be very surprised to read Moore's appellate opinions. He is very pro plaintiff, anti business and is very much on the side of the criminal defendant.

Finally I will say this. Moore knows that he is bound by the decision of the Federal Court. When the 11th circuit (the most conservative circuit in the country) and the USSC refuse to overrule the decision, it should tell you something. When a state law is in conflict with federal law or a federal court president, then the state law is no longer valid. He knows this and he also knows that this summer the USSC is going to rule in a gay marriage case and strike down the ban for the entire country.
