Wake up! Don’t cave based on incomplete information!

The 10th is in a conflict with the 14th.

“The arguments presented to the Supreme Court of the United States in Plessy v. Ferguson involve two competing amendments to the Constitution. The Fourteenth Amendment says states may not deny people equal protection of the law and the Tenth Amendment reserves broad, undefined powers (often referred to as police powers) for the states.”

This provides SCOTUS cover for making its egregious decisions against states because they can stretch their interpretation of the 14th which was ratified to correct the injustices left over from the era of slavery.

BUT A MARRIAGE AMENDMENT MADE SPECIFIC TO THE DEFINITION OF MARRIAGE

AND

EXPLICITLY EXEMPT FROM ALTERATION, MODIFICATION, REVISION OR CREATIVE INTERPRETATION UNDER THE 14TH AMENDMENT

cannot be and shall not be ignored by federal courts.

Plessy v. Ferguson was not argued as a Tenth Amendment issue. Ferguson argued that the "separate but equal" provisions of the Louisiana law in question as satisfying the equal protection requirements of Amendments XIII and XIV. They never argued (nor should they) that Amendment X trumped Amendment XIV.

The Constitution itself delegates the authority to amend. And that authority was granted to the states through their legislatures. The state of Louisiana ratified the Fourteenth Amendment in 1868, and by doing so acknowledged a power granted to the Federal government by the Constitution itself.
