Brian Brown thinks the Supreme Court will side with the Foolish Judge Martin Feldman



Brian wrote in US News that SCOTUS will completely keep marriage between a man and woman, and this fool is basing it from the Louisiana case.

Here's a piece of his post:
If the court rules next year that the U.S. Constitution permits states to define marriage in the traditional way, as I believe they will, we’ll again hear shocked reaction from the left. But there will have been many signs that the Supreme Court was not going to “constitutionalize” gay marriage, most notably the decision handed down recently by a federal court in Louisiana.

Oh, you didn’t hear much about the Louisiana decision? No surprise. Here’s what happened. U.S. District Court Judge Martin Feldman, following extensive briefing and argument, ruled that the U.S. Constitution does not prohibit the state of Louisiana from defining marriage solely as one man and one woman, nor refusing to recognize so-called same-sex marriages performed elsewhere. He found that the state had several valid reasons for having adopted this position, which was approved by 78 percent of its voters. One reason, Feldman wrote, was to encourage children to be raised by their mother and father in an intact family. Another was to ensure that any change in such a foundational issue as marriage should only be considered via the democratic process and not be judicially imposed.

Feldman demolished the conclusion of other judges that there is no rational basis for upholding state marriage laws, writing “that a meaning of what is marriage that has endured in history for thousands of years, and prevails in a majority of states today, is not universally irrational on the constitutional grid.”
Bryan, wake up.
