State sovereignty won’t protect us from God’s judgment.

If a state is immoral enough to allow such perversion, the others will have to either reign them in or face the consequences.

“We have no government armed with the power capable of contending with human passions, unbridled by morality and true religion. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” - John Adams

So, let’s see if I understand. States are free to make their own laws unless you disagree, in which case they are no longer protected by the Constitution. Land of the Free indeed....

The state acting in the manner you deem moral won't protect anyone from Gods judgment. The state of our souls is dependent only on our own actions not that of the state. Further our constitution guarantees each individual freedom of religion, meaning that just because you deem something immoral, doesn't automatically give the state power to pass a law regarding it.

It isn't God's judgement that I'm worried about with this.
I'm worried about man's tyranny upon their fellow man through intrusive government.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Then we better get prepared for the consequences both as a nation and as individuals!
I see immorality from States today and nothing is done to them by the other States. Their immorality, as you like to call it, gets taken to the Federal level and it's then imposed upon the other States because they do nothing to or about the first State/s decision and because they don't exert their Sovereignty as and when needed against such Federal intrusion.

And again....how long has Nevada had prostitution?
Has one single State moved to "reign them in"?

Reality check there, Padre.
