"You're taking any definition of a family away. When two bisexuals or two transgendered marry, how large is that family? Can they marry two persons, one of the same sex and one of the opposite sex? Then, you've got a family of four or how many?"

oh just fuck off with this shit. you aren't even making your state look like a jackass - you yourself just look like the jackass.

No shit. I live in a state where ALL judges are appointed, so it was a bit of a shock to learn in high school that there are some states that elect judges. I thought the whole point of an independent judiciary was to have a deliberative body not subject to political whims.

You're bound to uphold ALL of the Constitution, including the part that states "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion." The Ten Commandments belong in churches and synagogues, not public buildings.
