Don’t you see a problem with states being free to practice polygamy or same-sex marriage?

State diversity on marriage should not become a constitutional right. I would oppose such an amendment.

Listen to the interview again. He said that he believes in an amendment that would allow states to NOT recognize the civil unions formed in other states. I think it makes sense.

Small government and federalism is a two-edged sword. If one believes in intrusive government when it suits their interest, but small government otherwise, he is no different than the liberals who believe the same thing. I think it is great to hear a guy with a basic philosophy of government rather than one who simply has a different wish list than the others.

Seems to be a certain religion that looks the other way with the priest’s being pedophiles and supporting illegal immigration. I would not bring it up except for the Mormon bashing going on by certain posters of this website.

You've got it all mixed up, Gelato. The federal gubmint is supposed to be limited to only those powers delegated to it by the states and the people. The question you should be asking is what constitutional right does the fed guv have to butt in? Show me that one.
