Sorry but I think you are mistaken, but this was an Amendment, not a congressional passed law. Big difference. It was a State law. Your quote states, “Congress shall make no law”.
Need to remember something in all of this, This Constitution is is the framework whereby the People of the United States, through elected representatives, have established the delegated powers and limitations of the United States government with respect to the citizens, the states, and all those within the United States.
Hmmm...seems to me that 70% of Oklahoma people said this should be a change...not sure where a Denver judge gets off telling them they can’t.
The courts are using their ‘powers’ given to them by the people, to overrule the people...a confrontation is looming I fear.
The US Constitution provides for this, however we also have "Article Six of the United States Constitution" (also known as the Supremecy Clause) which states:
All Debts contracted and Engagements entered into, before the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be as valid against the United States under this Constitution, as under the Confederation.
This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.
The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States
This is the Constitution we have all swore to defend (to the death) to uphold. Or, do you think we get to cherry-pick only those sections we "like"? Again, all powers not relagated to the Federal Gov't are given to the states. However, no state is free to circumvent the US Constitution. Otherwise, we could have slavery in some states, gun bans in other states and only certain religions would be tolerated in other states.
