Realize that MACVSOG68 will say that the federal government has every right to step in and overturn those antiquated and anti-gay state laws. He's all for federal intervention ... when it favors his cause.

Of course when it comes to a federal gay marriage amendment, well, the federal government should butt out (sorry) and leave this issue up to the states.
