Fallin: Marriage ruling an example of federal courts trampling on states’ rights

[William769]

OKLAHOMA CITY — Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin says a federal appeals court ruling that struck down the state’s ban on same-sex marriage is an example of federal courts trampling on the rights of states to govern themselves.

Fallin issued a statement Friday after the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver struck down Oklahoma’s constitutional amendment defining marriage as between one man and one woman.

Fallin says she voted for the amendment that was approved by 76 percent of Oklahoma voters in 2004. Now, she says, two federal judges have acted to overturn a law supported by most Oklahomans.

1. I am starting an inititive petition to get people named Mary Fallin thrown out of the state

Since she believes that people's rights are up for a fucking vote I want to vote her right to live in my state away.

Oh well, she is gonna lose on this issue and we are all gonna laugh in her silly little face.

6. Yep, sure Mary, just like persecution of black people during segregation and now

minorities, women and LGBT. Some states just gotta have hatefulness and inequality, it just feels so good for the bigots and haters in a state. How's this Mary, you are a damn fool!
