Fine I can accept this decision. But now let's apply the same standard to abortion, sodomy, medical marijuana etc. Leave the issue to the states.

You left out slavery.

You left out slavery.

I shudder to envision the kind of situation that is being championed by so many here today in the name of states' rights; one in which the fundamental God-given rights to life and liberty are NOT unalienable and are NOT protected for EVERY AMERICAN by our federal Bill of Rights.

Over the long haul, all such a state of affairs can possibly produce is destructive disunion and bloody chaos.

It truly is a dark day in America, my friend.
