Married gay Irishman’s deportation on hold

The LAW says is you marry an American you are LEGALLY entitled to citizenship. By ALL means, let's follow the LAW.

How about he obeys the LAW? What a concept folks. How about thinking about those of us DORMAN who followed the law. I had to. I had to be separated from my family while we went through the process. Why doesn't DORMAN follow the law for once in the past couple decades. And Cahir how about writing an article about us who follow the law? Why don't you respond if you are so intelligent you could come up with a response to all my points about the rule of law. But you cannot because to you, you want inequality don't you.

There's no law that says you have to argue the case for an unjust law. DAs and Attorneys General do it all the time. Nothing new about it. So give that crap a rest.

We have terroists and other hate groups trying to shoot us or blow us up, and you pick on two men obviously in love. PRIORITIES PEOPLE!

BTW, congratulations to Ireland on putting in civil unions for gay people.. and with polls showing that 70% of the people support marriage equality for gays folks, that is only a year or two away. Maybe its got something to do with the church of the Godfather of endless hidden molestation. In Ireland, the christian brothers, a catholic group, used orphans and reform school kids as slaves, making religiious trinkets ihn cold dark factories. they were poorly fed, and "a good day was a day without a beating and or being molested" Damages already are up to almost $200 mill, and ezpected to go to a billion USDollars. its almost like being a molester is part of the required job description for working for conservative churches

So many negative comments - looks like the hate groups like FRC and AFA and NOM have been sending out action alerts. While their chief bitch, Maggie Gallagher has 2 illegitimate children, her husband is a ghost - she doesnt even wear a wedding ring. But its a hell of a biz for maggie - her contract with NOM says she gets 30% off the top of all the money that comes in. Proving the bible was right - the lust for money is the root of all evil

Please add to the historical definition of marriage - women sold for a dowrey to a man she had never met to cement business and tribal ties. Blacks not allowed to marry until after the civil war, 1867. Inter=racial marriage prohibitions in most all states until 1967. And of course women voting would "destroy the family" I remember my mother long ago telling me how her mother was thrilled to finally be able to vote about 1922. civil unions or marriage equality for gays is the law of the land in virtually every country in western Europe except Italy, home of the church known as the Godfather of Molestation. And now 6 countries in once Catholic Latin America now have CUs marriage (3=3) Why is America so far behind the rest of the world. And more like our mortal enemies like the isalmic states Doesn't matter what the brand name of your religion is - hate is hate in so many conservative relgiions. Who operate on the idea that if you tell a lie often enough aand outrageous enough, it will be seen as the truth.

those in the gay, lesbian, and transgendered network of unnatural misfits in human societal behavior. End Quote Thank you for showing your hatreds Courtesy of your right wing church.

Quote: Indeed,...when a loud minority can trump whatever,...you don't have democracy,...you have tyranny,... end quote Sure, just like a loud majority justified slavery as per the bible. And also outlawed black marriage until 1867, and inter-racial marriage until 1967 So many christians = who dont reverse the words love and hate. In Jesus commandment to love thy neighbor as thyself. If anyone should be kicked out of the country it is the right wing christians who hate Obama, their nightmare come true - a black president And the catholic hierarchy who babble about protecting life but have yet to EXcommunicate a man born and baptised catholic in very catholic austria in 1888. Hitler. And the RATZInger Pope who in 2009 UNexcommunicated Bishop Williamson. Who was kicked out of the church of england fro denying the holocaust.

JUST LOVELY...NOW GO TO THE WASHINGTON POST FROM LAST WEEK WITH THE NEXT FUNDAMENTALIST GROUP WAITING WITH BAITED-BREATH FOR THE WORLD TO END. BUT IF THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN ON MAY 21st, THERE'S ALWAYS 2012!! CHEERS and BOTTOMS UP!!

I am sure that the airports creepy, noisey staffer, had to walk right by ten Mexicans & Russians & Africans to get to his managers office. To report a white male, who was doing nothing more than waiting for his child to get there. I do not agree with being an illegal and taking advantage; however, I live in California where you have so many illegal and temporary legal aliens it's stupid. The last thing I would do is to turn a person into immigration, even if they piss me off, all because I suspect their illegal! And the last person I would go after would be an Irishman, since so many helped to build this great nation. Also, how odd of the airlines to allow such a thing, since this man was not buying a ticket. I mean why did they use Nazi tactics, papers please... on this guy, why did his papers need to be checked. You see, Americans start working with our government system when we are young, I've had a Social Security number since I was 12, and a license since I was 16 years old, and even my dogs have papers to prove where they were born & if there fixed, since doggie cops will stop you periodically to check your papers. I guess that's our society today... papers or prison!

Interesting how the country has changed -- back in the dark ages, when Earle Warren was Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and people like Thurgood Marshall and Hugo Black were Justices, and men like Kennedy and Johnson were in the White House, the Supreme Court decided what laws were constitutional and which were not --- anyone who really wants the President or the Attorney General to decide those issues for the country, essentially eliminating one of the three branches of the American government established in the Constitution is indeed standing on a very slippery slope.

Most posters are clueless. Whether DOMA is constitutional, or more likely not, has nothing to do with democracy or even government, and even less to do with ignoring the law. Those who think otherwise have no idea who the law is supposed to work.

Indeed,...when a loud minority can trump whatever,...you don't have democracy,...you have tyranny,...

Interesting bunch of comments. Does raise some issues of whether "democracy" can work if a vocal minority yells loud enough to trump it. Also the whole historical definition of marriage. Also the civil rights of individuals to contract with each other as a quasi-corporation/partnership. Interesting the whole discussion.
