There are LOTS of things that SHOULD be a "local call," but are not treated as such because 100 years of jurisprudence have completely misinterpreted the 14th Amendment as causing the Bill of Rights to limit State/Local governments (the Incorporation Doctrine) ... rather than simply limiting the government in DC, as the drafters of the Bill of Rights intended.

That is what the law SHOULD be.

What the law IS? The 14th Amendment dictates that same sex couples may marry, anywhere in the country. It is what it is.

No....

Modern Lawyers/Judges have INTERPRETED the 14th Amendment to say as much because MOST ASSUREDLY if it had been an issue at the time the Constitution was written Gay people would NOT be allowed to marry, period.

I personally don't give a shite, but words mean things.

The Framers would all be against Gay marriage.

Agreed. No involvement by the government OR by any religious hierarchy.

Let's return marriage to the families.

Some people accept only those polls and studies which support their preconceptions and biases.

If I were a Grammar Nazi (I'm not), I'd ask if you meant "throw", but I'll "except" your statement as is.


Yes, methodology and internals from a biased polling company are indeed a reason to be skeptical.

The only takeaway there is we have too few people attending church weekly.

Are you legit retarded?

You posted a poll the other day to support your bullshite kid-diddler defense that was ripped to shreds because it's methodology was horse-shite.

You need to go to the Doctor, I'm starting to worry about you....

Thanks for not being a grammar Nazi, but still pointing it out and which I already edited, but good on you. Also, LOL to Gallup being biased. Please show your reputable polling companies that show a significant deviation from what Galllup has registered over 25+ years.

Advice: Don't waste your time.

He will whine and bitch about the name or background of the researcher, or the methodology or the sample size or the color of the paper regarding any poll or study that produces a result he does not like.

It is what it is.

Perfect example already on this page.

This week while defending your particular favorite flavor of kid-diddlers, you made a stupid claim based on a study you pulled out of your arse.

That study which was supposedly representative of a whole, diverse population consisted of 360 cases over a broad time frame, all in Florida which consisted of file "reviews" that relied on the veracity of the perps involved.

STFU about studies and data, you have no high-ground.

Hank, I just stumbled upon these two articles discussing the Respect for Marriage Act and the Full Faith and Credit Clause. Very interesting read that I think you'd enjoy.

Thx Mick. I will take a look.

EDIT:

In the first article, they raise a point that I see here, a lot:
quote:

It's also worth noting that state laws banning same-sex marriage can violate individual constitutional rights, even if the federal government lacks any general power to legislate on the definition of marriage. There is no contradiction between these two positions and I in fact hold both.
The second article raises an interesting point, as well. Basically, it ACKNOWLEDGES that the Full Faith and Credit Clause (FFCC) is a limit on unfettered federalism:
quote:

Is there some cost to federalism in the Respect for Marriage Act? Sure. But the FF&CC was intended as a unifying device, not a states-rights provision. And as a policy matter, the cost is far outweighed by the chaos and injustice that would be caused by allowing one state to nullify another state's existing legal marriage.

When California makes it "lawful" to marry your dog or your child, then ALL states will have to accept it as legitimate.

When Democrats are in charge, today's hyperbole becomes tomorrow's truth.

It WILL happen (the dog thing, anyways).

Not under the RMA, which addresses only SSM and miscegenation.

You could make the doggie marriage argument even BEFORE the RMA, under the Full Faith & Credit (FFC) Clause, but you would certainly lose. RMA won't change that.
