Wonderful! As this really IS a States Rights issue over which the Federal Government HAS no Constitutional Authority — it’s simply NOT amongst their enumerated powers — then North Carolinians have every right to determine for their state whether they will recognize marriage, or pervert it’s meaning into something else that called itself marriage, or settle on calling social/family relationship “contracts” by another name. This is the way it ought to be.
It is a Federal issue when you cross state lines. It will eventually be decided by SCOTUS which is why, whoever the GOP nominee is, we must defeat Obama.
True. But the pervert contingent is trying to invoke the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment. DOMA properly stopped this from happening, which is why that is the supreme target of their attacks. Thank God that Congress still had the moral fortitude to take up the legal defense of DOMA when Barry abandoned it. DOMA bolsters states rights.
