Bull (Obama)

Was the SCOTUS decision legal? No.

Did it violate the Constitution? Yes.

“When human laws contradict or discountenance the means, which are necessary to preserve the essential rights of any society, they defeat the proper end of all laws, and so become null and void.”

— Alexander Hamilton

Mrs. Davis had the OBLIGATION and DUTY to stand up to tyranny and injustice.

“[T]he Law of Nature stands as an eternal rule to all men, legislators as well as others. The rules that they make for other men’s actions must . . . be conformable to the Law of Nature, i.e., to the will of God. [L]aws human must be made according to the general laws of Nature, and without contradiction to any positive law of Scripture, otherwise they are ill made.”

— John Locke, Two Treatises on Government

Nonsense, as much as I disagree with it and think of it as an abomination of Federalist principles, the decision of SCOTUS on gay marriage is unfortunately legal and the law of the land.

Like it or not, SCOTUS is the final arbiter on what’s Constitutional as long as they have subject matter jurisdiction over the dispute (which they do).

The only ways to change that is to either pass a Congressional statute taking away said jurisdiction (and create a Constitutional crisis most likely) or amend the Constitution restoring traditional marriage as it has been from the beginning of time.
