Fine, then it should have been in the federal Constitution that marriage is one man and one woman

Yes. This should have been included in the Constitution same as clauses stating that water is wet and the sky is blue. When The Constitution was written there was zero doubt what constituted marriage so why would it be included? Maybe today everything is up for grabs, but not back then

Yeah, as well as knowing that water is wet, the guys that founded this country also knew that you didn't just give the vote to any idiot. Thank God they saved as from that folly. Oh, wait, we gave the vote to women and every idiot over 18 with a pulse. Now we're shocked that all kinds of lunacy is being voted in?

Americans had a chance to see this kind of cultural rot coming. Nobody before 50 years ago would ever have imagined in their most feverish dreams that two queers would get "married", but when polygamy rose, they could have recognized then that a uniform definition of marriage was necessary. My guess is that it wasn't taken care of at the federal level because people still respected the 9th and 10th amendments back then, but as I recall, they made a change of the definition of marriage as one man-one woman in the Utah constitution in order for Utah to gain statehood.

We also tried to get the definition of marriage as explicitly one man-one woman in the CA constitution (Prop 8), but our corrupt judiciary put that on hold, and now it is going to the US Supreme Court, and I'll be shocked if they don't (illegally) strike it down, because our entire federal government is overrun by communists.

So now that we can't depend on our own government to do a damn thing, how about if we just get them out of our business altogether? Or, we could just hold hands and have a good cry over how things should have been. Either that, or let's just get CWII on.

we were about to have a federal constitutional amendment. then John McCain pushed in a poison pill ridiculous flag burning amendmentment to the amendment to destroy the process.

I am thinking the die has been cast and the blackmail to pass obamacare is not being shoved on this.

Sotomayor the incompetent, Ginsberg the sleepy, and kagan the eater are all for the “born that way” lie.

This is akin to a supreme court ruling the world is flat and the center of the univers.
