“We applaud the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit for upholding the freedom of the people to define marriage as the union of a man and woman.

The American people simply will not accept a nationwide …

“Once again we see judges imposing their views of marriage in violation of the law and the overwhelming decision of state voters to preserve marriage in the law as it exists in reality, the union of one man and one woman.

“It’s a terribly important election, and I’m thrilled with it because it’s almost as big as our Republican victory in 1946.

Via John Wright at Lone Star Q: A state district judge in Houston has ordered the city to stop providing benefits to the same-sex spouses of employees, but city officials say the decision will have no impact because a federal judge has already ruled that the benefits must remain in place.
