Gov. Rick Perry said that a filibuster and protests that kept the Texas Senate from passing SB5 were “nothing more than the hijacking of the democratic process,” but apparently for the janitors at the Texas capitol building in Austin, they were more than that.
During the signing event for the controversial “Merry Christmas Bill,” Texas Governor Rick Perry had a crystal clear message for Atheist activists who have their own crusade to take the church-state separatism to the extreme. He made it known that the U.S. Constitution does not guarantee “freedom from religion.”
Abstract
In United States v. Windsor and Hollingsworth v. Perry, the Supreme Court will consider the constitutionality of government policies that reflect traditional marriage—that is, marriage as a union between one man and one woman. If the Court does not dismiss these cases on jurisdictional grounds, it should act to uphold traditional marriage. Nothing in the Court’s jurisprudence suggests that the right of same-sex couples to have their relationships recognized as marriages is so fundamental as to be protected by the Constitution’s Due Process Clause. Nor does the Equal Protection Clause require that result, given the societal purpose and value of marriage as furthering procreation and child-rearing. Because the Constitution does not speak to this question, it is one that is left to ordinary political processes, not to judicial fiat.
