"The larger issue than Kim Davis is the USSC making up law out of whole cloth and assuming the role of Congress.”
onedoug, if I understood your remark about Congress correctly, please note that, with the exception of the “Full Faith and Credit clause (4.1), the states have never amended the Constitution to give Congress the specific power to regulate marriage. So activist justices actually breached the Founding States division of federal and state government powers and stole 10A-protected state powers to legislate the so-called right to gay marriage from the bench.
In other words, as Din Maker had noted in another post, and what activist justices wrongly ignored is that, since the states have never amended the Constitution to expressly protect gay “marriage” as a right, it’s up to the individual states, based on their 10th Amendment-protected power, and not activist justices, to say yes or no to constitutionally unprotected gay “marriage.”
Thank you for making the issue even more clear.
