she should also know the federal government MANDATED marriage as one man and one woman as a condition of utah statehood.
“she should also know the federal government MANDATED marriage as one man and one woman as a condition of utah statehood.”
As a Supreme Court Justice she should also know that their ruling will trump that mandate.
Precisely. That's why they have to overturn REYNOLDS to allow gay marriage. The SC will just shrug their shoulders and say "Well, that's why we overturned Dred Scott, because we've evolved as a country". BTW many Mormons went to prison for practicing their religion supposedly guaranteed under the First Amendment. Not a single homo has spent even one minute in jail over their "marriage". How many of us are going to prison for practicing our rights under the Second Amendment? Not a pleasant thought.
