“I’m not for your asinine government over-writing my Religions prohibition on gay marriage because of your oft touted Reynolds decision establishing it as a mere civil contract.”

Again, re-read Reynolds. It’s all there in the decision. The English Common Law defines marriage - not the federal government or the states.

It’s the same definition that underpins trial by jury and habeous corpus.

Libertarians are simply wrong on this issue about federal regulation on marriage, and by propagation error have brought about the result we see today.

The sooner Libertarians understand why the English Common Law is so important to their own rights and freedoms, the sooner we can move beyond suicidal ideologies that would insist we concede every bulwark of civilization.

And again, the Constitution is the supreme law of the land, not Your English Common Law. This idiot “civil contract” clause is part of how the gays are pushing gay marriage...

Your short signed stupidity is wearing thin.
