Anti-Gay Hag Pam Bondi punts gay-marriage ruling back to Federal Judge

This damn Pam Bondi.

This cretin has now asked the judge to clarify his ruling, because the judge is best person to explain the scope of his ruling? It makes no sense, she's being a dick about this.

Here's her press release:

Pursuant to an order from the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida, the Attorney General’s Office today filed the attached response to the Washington County Clerk of Court’s Emergency Motion for Clarification. The widespread confusion that now exists, as evidenced by multiple media reports, is precisely what the Attorney General’s Office sought to avoid while seeking a stay pending final resolution in favor of either side of the issue. As stated in the response filed today, if the federal court intended the injunction to have effects beyond those that appear on its face, the court may wish to provide appropriate clarification.

Tampa Bay Times says Pam Bondi is a ‘Modern-day Anita Bryant’ and Florida’s Loser of 2014

Tampa Bay Times doesn't mince words about Miss Bondi. See here:

It's hard to imagine how someone who won re-election so handily (rival George Sheldon could not afford a single TV ad) could emerge from 2014 more wounded and diminished as our Republican attorney general. Put aside the unseemly junkets funded by groups seeking to influence her. Bondi's clumsy communication skills and relentless defense of Florida's gay marriage ban have made her a modern-day Anita Bryant. Antagonizing Florida's gay voters over same-sex marriage and Hispanic voters over immigration reform ensures Bondi has a bright political future ahead of her — if she moves to Mississippi.

Wow, well she is the worst. So, this title is a good one for her.

Florida AG Pam Bondi is Hurt because she LOST!

"Tonight, the United States Supreme Court denied the State’s request for a stay in the case before the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals. Regardless of the ruling it has always been our goal to have uniformity throughout Florida until the final resolution of the numerous challenges to the voter-approved constitutional amendment on marriage. Nonetheless, the Supreme Court has now spoken, and the stay will end on Jan. 5."

Pam Bondi DENIED! Supreme Court refuses to Halt Same Sex Marriages in Florida

from Buzzfeed

This is so good!

When AG Pam Bondi heard that SCOTUS would look at her request to halt marriage equality in Florida, I bet she was patting herself on the back. Well, too bad it was all in vain. SCOTUS refused her messy request and now, gay marriages can proceed after Jan. 5.

The decision means, absent some unexpected development, that same-sex couples will be able to marry beginning January 6. 

Under the trial court’s order striking down the ban as unconstitutional, the injunction was stayed — or put on hold — until the end of the day January 5. State officials have appealed the ruling striking down the ban, but also asked higher courts to keep the trial court’s order on hold during that appeal. 

The 11th Circuit had rejected Florida’s request and, on Friday evening, the Supreme Court did as well. Justice Clarence Thomas, who hears such applications from the 11th Circuit, referred the matter to the full court, which then denied the request.
Both Thomas and Justice Antonin Scalia, the brief order noted, would have granted the request. The two previously have noted that they would grant such stay requests during appeals of other marriage ban cases.

I hope she's crushed! I would pay to see it!

The ACLU Files a Response to Pam Bondi's Silly Stay Extension

The American Civil Liberties Union filed a response to Florida AG Pan Bondi's stupid and desperate attempt to stop marriage equality to SCOTUS.

The ACLU's response states that the Court should reject Florida’s request for further extension of the stay placed on a federal court’s decision that struck down the marriage ban.

“Governor Scott, his appointees, and Attorney General Pam Bondi’s efforts to delay the implementation of the order striking down the marriage ban are as senseless as they are incredibly harmful,” stated ACLU of Florida LGBT rights staff attorney Daniel Tilley. “Every day that the couples we represent and the thousands of families across Florida who are also denied the protections of marriage go without those protections, they are suffering real harm, as Judge Hinkle’s order made plainly clear. We are glad to have had the opportunity to explain to our nation’s highest court why it is time to let love win in Florida, and we are hopeful that the Court will reject Governor Scott and Attorney General Bondi’s increasingly-desperate efforts, just as it has refused all requests to stay rulings striking down discriminatory marriage bans since this October.”

AG Pam Bondi continues her Losing Fight against Gay Marriage in Florida

Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi will not stop this foolishness!

Over a week ago, the 11th Circuit Court of denied her demand to extend a temporary stay of the marriage ruling. That stay will dissolve on January 5th and gays will be able to marry, but this heifer won't stop!

Pam has filed a motion with Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas asking for another stay on the marriage ruling. Girl, give it up! Why can't you see that you are wasting folks' time and money on a losing battle.

I get that you want to be seen as a fighter for marriage, but please, drop it.

You just look like an idiot for pushing this. A flat out idiot!

AG Pam Bondi desperately runs to Florida Supreme Court to decide Gay Marriage

What is she doing?

Last night, Attorney General Pam "She Mess" Bondi now wants the Florida Supreme Court to decide gay marriage in Florida once and for all. So, why this move? Basically, she trapped and has nowhere else to turn.

In her statement, she wrote:

“That is unquestionably an important issue, and the Plaintiffs, the State, and all citizens deserve a definitive answer. Until recently, the issue was squarely before the United States Supreme Court, and it appeared that a definitive answer was coming. ... Unfortunately, the United States Supreme Court decided not to answer the question.”

And

“Florida’s courts will therefore need to resolve the issue without further United States Supreme Court guidance. Because there are cases pending in multiple districts, and because this is an issue of great public importance that now warrants immediate Florida Supreme Court review, the State respectfully suggests pass-through certification.”

Miss Mess is wasting tax payers' money on a losing battle.

Florida's Attorney General said Same Sex Marriages would "impose significant public harm.

Is Florida's attorney general serious?

In March, 8 same-sex couples filed for the right to recognize same sex marriages from other states. With all of the other suits having success, you would think it would be easy, right?

Well, no. The Attorney General Pam Bondi is against the idea. In fact she thinks it would "impose significant public harm." Her, along with Gov. Rick Scott filed a response asking to throw out the lawsuit for several reasons, saying a federal court shouldn't rule on a state's marriage laws.

Here's more

Bondi's office also argues that the state has a legitimate interest in defining marriage as between a man and woman. Florida first banned same-sex marriages nearly two decades ago and voters reinforced that ban when they passed a constitutional amendment in 2008.

"Florida's marriage laws, then, have a close, direct, and rational relationship to society's legitimate interest in increasing the likelihood that children will be born to and raised by the mothers and fathers who produced them in stable and enduring family units," Bondi's office said in court documents.

Folks on our side, wasn't having any of that:

Florida's Democrats and gay rights groups were also highly critical of Bondi's legal response as was one of Bondi's political opponents.

But the attorney general's office said they had an obligation to defend the state's existing laws.

"Florida's voters approved a constitutional amendment, which is being challenged, and it is the Attorney General's duty to defend Florida law," said Florida Solicitor General Allen Winsor.

Winsor also insisted that the harm mentioned in the filing had to do with the legal challenge itself.

"Florida is harmed whenever a federal court enjoins enforcement of its laws, including the laws at issue here," he said.
