Our Rights come from the constitution, Life, Liberty and the pursuit of
Happiness.. Not by a ballot
, To deny equal rights because, of popular vote. Is mob rule.

No Ms Bondi- the people of Florida should decide… NOT the court.

Ghandi once famously said “I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ”.

I think Ghandi would have liked you, Katie. I’m a Christian as well, and I agree with you 100%

Folks , No one to include prohibits “anyone” from getting married under any current law. If you want to marry your horse and can get a person to do that, then go for it just be very careful of what you do after that point. Remember the last words normally spoken by the legal authority marrying someone is, ” By the power vested in me by the State Of XXXX, I hereby pronounce you Husband and wife”. No where does it state by the “power vested in me by the Federal government”. Under the US constitution, if a state cedes that power to the Courts then ok, but if they haven’t A federal court can not legally compel that state to do anything. What this actually does is to force the “State” to issue a legally binding document. That is something the Supreme Court, and for that matter no court does have that power to do under the constitution. Courts/judges can only render an opinion of the constitutionality of a Law, they do not have the power to “Write/Rewrite” law. That power solely rests with the legislative Branch of government. So these Court rulings are not in compliance with the US constitution and therefore illegal.

Most judges far exceed their limited powers under the US constitution and what they decree is in fact “unconstitutional” as the law they just stated was “unconstitutional”

I am confused.
If the Florida State Supreme court rules that the ban IS valid, does that not go against the U.S. Supreme Court that essentially let stand the lower federal court rulings that ruled the bans unconstitutional in other states?

To deny rights to a person is unthinkable, why does Bondi think its okay to do that? I as a Christian believer don’t agree with heterosexuals living together and playing house, I don’t agree with teens having pre-marital sexual relations, I don’t agree with rape that is now called something else. So what I don’t agree, each human being is given the right by God to determine what a sin is and how each have sinned or not sinned. Each person will answer for his/her sins, that is up to God to judge not us.
