Do you support the legalization of same sex marriage?

On June 26, 2015 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the denial of marriage licenses violated the Due Process and the Equal Protection clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution. The ruling made same sex marriage legal in all 50 U.S. States.

Yes, because same sex marriage falls under the Declaration of Independence, as it would fall under the pursuit of happiness

 @966L8MY from California  answered…3yrs3Y

 @94H2GXQ from California  answered…3yrs3Y

i would skip this question

 @947CHCP from California  answered…3yrs3Y

I beileve you can love whoever you want, it does not affect me in the slightest. I think its a little weird. I was raised in christain beilefs and am kind to all people no matter who they are. They are still humans who deserve kindness and respect. I don't think it is right to make churchs have cerimonies for same sex marrigaes if these are not the teachings. I do not beileve you should make movies for little children with same sex realtionships.

 @93S698T from California  answered…3yrs3Y

Marriage should be legal between any consenting adults, but shouldn't be tied to so many government functions

 @936Z9LZIndependent from California  answered…3yrs3Y

only women of the same sex can get married not two men

 @936Y4HV from California  answered…3yrs3Y

I don't really care just keep it to yourself.

 @936XZC7 from California  answered…3yrs3Y

I think anyone should be able to marry whoever

 @936VJJF from California  answered…3yrs3Y

No, marriage is a spiritual institution. Inherent in the vows is the belief in God. However the government should sanction civil unions

 @936JH7W from California  answered…3yrs3Y

who cares, just allow it

 @999GMZWIndependence from California  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, everyone deserves he right to be happy with whoever they love, it isn't affecting the way others live so why should it matter, it is not their life so why should it matter.

 @98WKQZP from California  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, just don't force your beliefs onto me

 @98CD5H3 from California  answered…2yrs2Y

no, but you make sure they're the right one for and you the right one for them

 @97JRL7V from California  answered…3yrs3Y

i don't bother me

 @97HZP67 from California  answered…3yrs3Y

do whatever you want as long as it dosent affect me

 @97FGKQS from California  answered…3yrs3Y

I don't really care what gender or who you are if the two people love each other and want to be married they can be.

 @95GLXK9 from California  answered…3yrs3Y

 @8GGL6J2 from California  answered…5yrs5Y

Yes, if you don't want to perform the ceremony, then respectfully decline.

 @999GN9Z from California  answered…2yrs2Y

yes, but it shouldn't be illegal for non-government-funded companies / places to deny the marriage of a same-sex couple

 @8DW3VX8Republican from California  answered…5yrs5Y

Government should stay out of the marriage business. But government can involve itself in civil unions for tax purposes.

Donald Trump nominates Pam Bondi as the next Attorney General

Former President and 2024 Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has announced his intention to nominate former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi as the next Attorney General of the United States, should he reclaim the presidency in the upcoming election.Bondi, a prominent figure in Republican politics, served as Florida's Attorney General from 2011 to 2019. She gained national attention for her legal battles on issues such as health care reform, consumer protection, and opioid abuse litigation. Known for her steadfast support of Trump during his presidency, Bondi also served as a key adviser during his first impeachment trial, where she defended his administration against accusations of abuse of power.In a statement released by his campaign, Trump praised Bondi’s “unwavering commitment to justice” and her “track record of standing up for everyday Americans against the abuses of Washington’s elites.”“Pam Bondi has been a fearless advocate for the people, and she embodies the principles of fairness, accountability, and the rule of law that are sorely needed to restore trust in our justice system,” Trump said. “She is the right person to lead the Department of Justice into a new era of integrity and excellence.”While Bondi’s nomination has been met with applause from conservative circles, it has also reignited criticism from Democrats and ethics watchdogs. Her acceptance of a $25,000 donation from the Trump Foundation in 2013, which coincided with her decision not to pursue an investigation into Trump University, has drawn scrutiny in the past and resurfaced following the announcement.Democratic leaders have already voiced opposition, questioning Bondi’s ability to lead the Department of Justice independently. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) called the nomination “a political power play” and urged a focus on “restoring integrity, not entrenching partisanship.”

The data says the US economy is strong. Swing-state voters disagree.

The US labour market has remained strong even while inflation has plunged from its 2022 peak. In September, the unemployment rate fell back to 4.1 per cent — higher than last year but still historically low. Even so, some warning signs have flashed for the economy. The number of Americans pursuing a second job is rising. So is the number of people unemployed for 15 weeks or longer. Credit card delinquencies are up, as people burn through cash handed out by the government during the pandemic. “People don’t feel as secure now,” said Paul Isely, an economics professor at Grand Valley State University in Michigan. “Even if lots of other markers in their life are better off, they know that they are consuming past their means, whereas before it was hidden by the fact that they had these excess savings.”Please use the sharing tools found via the share button at the top or side of articles. Copying articles to share with others is a breach of“Here’s the problem: inflation is the rate of increase and [that] has slowed, but the public’s focus is on the absolute price,” the president of Western Michigan University said. “It takes a lot for the price level to come down. That would be a recession and deflation, so it’s not quite clear you really want that.”For residents in the state’s most populous area — spanning Detroit, Warren and Dearborn — everyday costs are now much higher and still rising. Inflation jumped to almost 10 per cent in 2022 and was still above 3 per cent as of August, according to federal data.That has left housing-related expenses up 36 per cent since Biden entered office. Petrol is more expensive than under Trump. Grocery prices have risen 25 per cent in the past four years.
