By what right?!
" Each State, in ratifying the Constitution, is considered as a sovereign body, independent of all others, and only to be bound by its own voluntary act. In this relation, then, the new Constitution will, if established, be a FEDERAL, and not a NATIONAL constitution."
James Madison Federalist No. 39, January 1788

There is no right of government to redefine marriage against the will of the people.

They polished them up and put make up on them for the court case.

We could save billions by eliminating legislators and the Congress, etc.
Judges are quicker and cheaper, evidently.

Apparently that’s an old pic. The article says they have an 8 yr old son “together”. Physically impossible.

Unfortunately that’s true. And the will of the people is of no account in this brave new world.

It’s becoming more and apparent that states should start the process of succession if this judicial tyranny continues.

The states allowed a monster to grow as did the people.

That was before the Civil War and Reconstruction.

And? It was written by the creator of the Constitution. I believe that his opinion oand vision trumps Lincoln’s.

Left Wing Loonie must be the main qualification to be a judge these days.

Sure looks that way. Of course, the left also “judge shops”.

Just keep re-enacting it. Marriage is not a Federal matter.

I’m referring to the Fourteenth Amendment. State sovereignty has never been the same since then. We just observed the anniversary of one such example.

“I believe that his opinion and vision trumps Lincoln’s”
The states supporting Lincoln’s vision funded a more powerful army than the states supporting the Madison vision.
He who has the gold, or the more powerful army, makes the rules.
In today’s America there isn’t one state willing to oppose the national authority and reclaim its sovereignty. Apparently Madison’s vision is dead.

In matters of power, whether temporal or eternal, it is best to commend all to the Creator, who will most perfectly exercise his prerogatives amidst mortals. Though outward appearances may addend otherwise, the enemy is “pwned.”

I’m waiting for gun rights activists to use this same strategy to make states recognize concealled carry licenses from other states.

Perhaps, but first let's use the peaceful means bequeathed by our framers in Article V.
It's time to recognize the horrible mistake of the 17th Amendment and be rid of it.
History will not look well upon a people who gaffed off their responsibility and quietly submitted to tyranny.
