I agree with Huckabee, homosexual marriage is not a state issue any more than gun rights. Cruz played politics with this one and is being rightly called for it. Shame on him.
Gun rights: 2nd Amendment covers it, makes it a federal issue
Marriage: ??? Where is it? I can’t find it in there. So, please give me the reference.
Your equation of trad marriage and gun rights is off base IMHO. The US Constitution says nothing about marriage but it affirms gun rights in Second Amendment.
Marriage is a God ordained institution. States can RECOGNIZE it, but they can’t redefine it. Utah wasn’t even permitted into the union until it renounced polygamy. You could literally have 50 different definitions of marriage if done Cruz’s way. The Founding Fathers didn’t define marriage in the Constitution because it wasn’t even acceptable to be in a gay relationship then, let alone could they conceive of the possibility of gay marriage.
Huckabee is right.
...I agree with Huckabee, homosexual marriage is not a state issue any more than gun rights....
Gun rights are protected from interference by the Federal Government by the Second Amendment. What Amendment refers to marriage?
You might want to refer to the 9th and 10th Amendments for what the states did not give up.
No, shame on you, for playing politics with an issue you don’t seem to know much about.
Marriage IS a state issue.
