Just because the Supreme Court rules something doesn’t make it the law. The courts can not make law.
I don’t yet know who I will support. But I can say most on this tread don’t understand the constitution. IT IS THE LAW OF THE LAND.
Do I like it? That is not the issue. We are a country of Laws not of men.
RE: But I can say most on this tread don’t understand the constitution. IT IS THE LAW OF THE LAND.
Yes it is and it is SILENT on the issue of gay marriage.
It does say this in the 10th Amendment:
“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”
Well, It just so happens that Kentucky has a law PROHIBITING same-sex marriage.
Therefore according to the 10th amendment of the constitution, it is a power DELEGATED TO THE STATE OF KENTUCKY.
So, what law did Kim Davis violate? She is the one UPHOLDING the law.
No, that’s the point.
We are now indeed a country of men, not of laws.
All bets are off.
No it isn’t the law of the land. The Supreme Court constitutionally can not make laws. It is not authorized just to make shit up and insert its elitist beliefs into the constitution. Yes they have gotten away with it but its beyond time that it stops. There is no more a requirement that states issue gay marriage licenses than there is a requirement that they license Easter bunnies. YOU KNOW IT and I know it. Quit being an idiot. We are not ruled by the men and women in black robes and its insane that people are saying something is “the rule of law” that is the product of the abuse of power and violation of the constitution.
What should be done is that these judges should be shown the law up close and personal.
