liquidflux Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Domestic partnerships carry all the same benefits of marriage inside California, but that may not be the case if you leave California. Marriage benefits are recognized regardless of what state you're in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 They had the right to marry in California and the right was taken away. I worry about a nation where we are taking away rights instead of adding them. As for 'changing society'. It seems counter to Republican ideals that government should stay out of people's private lives. The party is quick to say that. Abortion. Gay Marriages. Legalization of drugs. Seems like it runs to counter to party ideals. Maybe it should be amended to we want the government out of the lives of people as long as we agree with what you want to do. :smirk: The Emancipation Proclamation 'changed society'. The 19th Amendment giving the women the right to vote 'changed society'. Truman's executive order 9981 integrating the military in 1948 'changed society'. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 society'. FDR signing the Fair Labor Standards Act in 1938 outlawing much of child labor 'changed society'. Sometimes society needs changing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogueyam Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 They had the right to marry in California and the right was taken away. Four arrogant judges suddenly and in the face of clear counter-precedent imagined that such a right existed. A mere five months later, thirty-six million sovereign Californians disabused these wretched dictators of their tyrannical delusion. God Bless California!

Flashermac Posted November 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 The Emmancipation Proclamation didn't do much more than give hope to slaves. It applied ONLY in area's where Lincoln's troops did not have control. In other words, slaves in areas under Federal control stayed slaves. Those in Confederate held areas supposedly became free. A lot of Northern papers - and European papers - denounced it as hypocracy. Plus even Lincoln felt it was probably illegal. That's why the 13th Ammendment was passed - after the war and when Lincoln was already dead. << The Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution officially abolished and continues to prohibit slavery, and with limited exceptions, such as those convicted of a crime, prohibits involuntary servitude. It was adopted on December 6, 1865. At the time of its ratification, slavery remained legal only in Delaware, Kentucky, Missouri, Maryland, and New Jersey. Everywhere else in the United States slaves had been freed by state action or Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation. >> End of history lesson.
