Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott -- a member of the Republican Party, which has been more likely to back gay marriage bans -- said his office would appeal the ruling.
"The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled over and over again that sates have the authority to define and regulate marriage," said Abbott, who is running for governor. "The Texas Constitution defines marriage as between one man and one woman."

Time and time again the people have voted AGAINST gay "marriage" and time and time again, some clueless fascist judge has usurped the people's will.
Judicial reform has to be one of the top priorities the next time conservatives gain power.
From Roe v. Wade, to fabricated 'rights' for illegals, to the expansion of the welfare state, to importing laws from other countries to help leftist extremists win the culture war...these black-robed tyrants are destroying the social fabric and actively working against the will of the people.
The fact is, a small group of ACTIVIST judges should not be deciding these social issues.
Like everything far left, the judicial branch is way out of control!

The Judge decided this case based on the US Constitution. It's funny how some who call themselves strict defenders of everything Constitution will reject the Consitution when it fits their agenda. That picking and choosing thing again that hypocrites do. :bitch:
"Today's court decision is not made in defiance of the great people of Texas or the Texas Legislature, but in compliance with the United States Constitution and Supreme Court precedent," said Garcia, who was nominated to the federal bench by President Clinton in 1994. "Without a rational relation to a legitimate governmental purpose, state-imposed inequality can find no refuge in our United States Constitution."

Personally believe there is a solution to the gay marriage issue which I doubt will ever be considered.
The State should have no authority over the institution of marriage. Two consenting adults who desire to get married should be able to do so without government approval or interference. Like drinking, the age of consent should be determined at the local/state level.
As long as there are options for everyone to fulfill their wish to be married, the State should not have the power to compel a church, civil servant, minister, JP, etc. to conduct a wedding ceremony they choose not to endorse.
Just my opinion on the issue.

ALL Republicans need to give this fight up - it is a winless battle - society has changed - younger people dont give a fvk what some queers are doing - you look like old racists in Alabama calling black people ni??ers - fight for things that the vast majority of Americans care about - like people that work not wanting to see their efforts going to a bunch of excuse riddled degenerates
I propose this solution:
1. Take the idea of "marriage" out of government altogether, take all tax breaks away for marriages
2. From the civil and government perspective, use the term "civil union"
3. Faggots can have their "civil union" all they want
4. Those who wish to get "married" can do so in a church
That way, from a government and civil perspective, anyone homo/hetero can get a civil union. Those that want to get "married" can also do so,
but that word won't be used from the government's perspective.
