“(as happened with the Shiavo case)”
That’s a good example of everyone rushing to the feds when they had absolutely zero business being involved.
That is why we are a growing socialist country even with Republicans in power.
I am really rather surprised there seems to be such ignorance of the US Constitution on here, of all places.
Aticle IV, Section 1:Full Faith and Credit shall be given in each State to the public Acts, Records, and judicial Proceedings of every other State. And the Congress may by general Laws prescribe the Manner in which such Acts, Records and Proceedings shall be proved, and the Effect thereof.
Someone has said if MA recognizes homosexual marriage, TX would not have to do the same.
Bull.
Just as TX honors a marriage of a man and a woman performed in MA, so, too, would it be required, by the Constitution, to recognize a homosexual marriage performed in MA, regardless of what TX’s voters may approve or disapprove. Btw, would you like to leave this issue in the hands of some of our fine Federal judges? Thus it IS a federal matter and we might well need a marriage amendment to the Constitution; though I hate seeing the Constitution used in this manner.
