[Vision2020] Not so fast, there...

My sincerest apologies for misunderstanding the intent of your comments.

I have obviously misinterpreted your statements in relation to my and my spouse's anniversary, in which my intent to suggest that wedded bliss is not restricted to heterosexual unions.

Again, my apologies.

Since Otter is running for office in one of the reddest if the red states, it might get him some votes to vow 'I will do everything in my power to ensure that marriage remains between one man and one woman'.  It's akin to Obama saying he'll do everything in his power to ban assault weapons.

>> Congratulations.  Same sex marriage ban don't deprive same sex couples from being in their same sex relationship.  At issue is gender discrimination that denies equal rights, benefits, and protections that are afforded to married opposite sex couples.  Such denial violates the 14th amendment equal protection and 5th amendment equal liberty which is why bans will ultimately be struck down nationwide.

>> Supreme Court Temporarily Blocks Gay Marriage In Idaho, Nevada
>> by KRISHNADEV CALAMUR

>> Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy has temporary blocked Tuesday's appeals court decision that struck down bans on same-sex marriage in Idaho and Nevada.
>> Officials in Idaho had filed a last-minute appeal to the Supreme Court following Tuesday's appeals court decision. In his order, Kennedy gave lawyers representing same-sex couples until 5 p.m. Thursday to respond to the appeal.
>> "The order means that gay and lesbian couples will not be able to obtain marriage licenses in that state in the meantime," Lyle Denniston of the SCOTUSblog notes.
>> The Associated Press adds that the order also applies to Nevada.
>> As we reported Tuesday, the appeals court ruling itself came a day after the Supreme Court gave tacit approval to similar decisions by three other circuit courts. The Supreme Court refused to hear an appeal of those rulings, thereby making same-sex marriage legal in 11 states. Gay marriage is now permitted in 30 U.S. states.
>> The AP adds that the delay in Idaho and Nevada could last just a few days.
>> "The full court almost certainly would weigh in to extend the delay much beyond the weekend," the news service said. "That has been the justices' practice in other cases in which a single justice initially blocked a ruling from taking effect."
