You realize this dispute is over issuing a license, which is a legal prerequisite to entering into a valid marriage, and has nothing whatsoever to do with a contract, right?[/quote]

You realize two of the SC justices had performed same sex marriages in the past and should have recused themselves,  right?[/quote]

What specific basis for recusal?  What you cite does not require it in and of itself.[/quote]

If you perform same sex marriages, you are clearly in support[/quote]

Does that mean that any justices who have ever expressed an opinion against same sex marriage also should have recused themselves?[/quote]

By officiating the marriage, you are doing more than expressing an opinion. [b]You are sanctifying it.[/b] [/quote]

Not so much. A priest sanctifies a marriage because marriage is a sacrament for Catholics. (The state allows the priest to also sign the marriage certificate because it is more efficient to only have one ceremony. In some places, you have to get married twice -- once legally and once in church, because a priest or pastor can't sign.) A judge celebrates a marriage or solemnizes a marriage because it is a civil act/legal act when a judge does it.

And clearly has a choice. So making the choice to perform it and sign for it, supports it.[/quote]

Endlessly repeating your opinion doesn't transform it into a fact.  It's not like Beetlejuice.[/quote]

In liberal worlds, it works for gender. Why not this?[/quote]

Churches have the legal right to choose who they accept as members.  Court clerks do not get to choose because residency is not up to their discretion.[/quote]
