you are speaking out of vapor not legal facts.
Legislators passed laws and amendments long before the citizens.
We DO have the numbers.
You are dead wrong and your nit picking BS just points out the fact there is HUGE public support to protect marrige.
If this is in fact the official Fred Thompson position rather than some homosexual RINO talking point then Thompson has a problem he had better fix.
Thompson has a law degree. Even a first year lawyer knows the Federalism argument pushd by the effete elites is complete hogwash to protect their own Senator Craigs.
Right, they don't exist. So please stop the song and dance. I know as well as you do how the vast majority of Americans aren't even sure homosexual behavior should be legal. Much less the 60-70% who believe that marriage between two men or two women should /never/ be legal.
So, yeah, stick your fingers in your ears and go nah-nah-nah all you want, but the constitution is not the place to legislate.
If this is in fact the official Fred Thompson position rather than some homosexual RINO talking point then Thompson has a problem he had better fix.
Right, let's see... How many top tier candidates support the marriage amendment, not just through campaign press releases, but through actual action. Answer: None.
