How could marriage not be a Federal issue if each state is forced to recognize marriages from other states?

[mnehring]

“[U]nder the Constitution, the regulation and control of marital and family relationships are reserved to the States.”

Even though SCOTUS said this, I'm going to disagree. Article 1, Section 8 specifically authorized Congress to set standards for 'weights and measures'. 'Measures' has always been recognized to include legal definitions to ensure consistent application. As long as marriage is a legally recognized contract, defining it falls under that.

Shep Smith was just ecstatic to announce the study that gay parents are just as good as straight parents. In a normal world, nobody would believe such BS, but this isn’t a normal world. F*ck Colorado, and all proponents of this.

George is 1....either GAY himself OR 2....has a GAY CHILD...PERIOD. NO other reason to accept GAY MARRIAGE!!! It's an OXYMORON!!

WHo the HELL watches that queer Shep Smith??? He does so much EDITORIALIZING I can;t stand it.

If the federal government supposedly “gets out of the marriage business,” there will still be endless contracts and legalities, and the government will then be equating homo couplings with real marriages as the same thing. Such a government that embraces this degeneracy is a government I wouldn’t lift a finger to save. I voted in my state for an amendment to the constitution that a marriage is one man and one woman, and it passed resoundingly. If these scumbags try to override my vote and my state’s constitution, I’d happily see them and the country burn to the ground first.

All three sections of DOMA are necessary; well thought out by a then saner Congress than we've had in several election cycles. Each one preserves states' rights to define natural marriage as the only reality in their jurisdiction.

Without the passage of DOMA, we would likely have had nationwide recognition of same-sex "marriage" force on every state 6 years ago.

The federal recognition clause is essential because it prevents fake "marriage" from being exportable to every other state.

The only thing lacking was a clause to preclude any marriage-like combination as well. Wise state governments foresaw this threat and did the right thing by also preventing "marriage-lite."

if doma is, so is roe v. wade.
