Our founding father created a government of limited and enumerated powers.

Which “founding father” is that???

Where is it enumerated that marriage is a “right” in the Constitution?

So, we should allow ritual murder as a “right” of religious freedom???

No man can become a law unto himself under the guise of ‘freedom of religion.'

In fact, from where are the enumerated rights in the United States’ Constitution derived???

ANSWER - - The Declaration of Independence: "We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights…"

Genesis...

Father"S". So sorry.

Rights of Americans are not limited to those that are enumerated while our government's powers are supposed to be limited to those enumerated. The very concept of peoples rights only being those which are enumerated and the powers of government being unlimited with the exception of intruding upon those same enumerated rights is the complete diametric opposite of the way the constitution is written.

Where is regulation of Marriage enumerated as a power of the Federal Government?

So, we should allow ritual murder as a “right” of religious freedom???
This question clearly has nothing to do with my position. If you wish to argue with someone over religious freedom I'm sure someone else would be happy to oblige you.
