The following is a statement from my previous post in this thread.
"Gay marriage is unconstitutional for the following simple reason imo."

That statement is in error and should read as follows.

"Tenth Amendment-protected state laws prohibiting gay marriage are not unconstitutional for the following simple reason imo."

To: Amendment10

The 10th amendment doesn’t control federal marriage law and regulations in the military, for federal employment, in immigration, or in foreign policy, nor in appointment of federal judges and the Supreme Court.
