The constitutional presumption is God-given rights to individuals of life, liberty, and pursuits of happiness. The people and states via the CONSTITUTION created a central (federal) government as a necessary evil and DELEGATED CERTAIN, LIMITED, ENUMERATED powers to that government. As confirmed in the 10th amendment, any powers not delegated to the federal government by the Constitution are preserved to the states and the people.

These are battles for things rightly belonging to the states and individuals not the federal government. The only involvement SCOTUS should have is to declare these a states' issue and remand back to the states accordingly.

As was once penned by Lincoln in the Gettysburg address, "Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure." The difference in this war is the right is FOR states' rights and individual freedom AGAINST the coercion and tyranny of a rogue federal government with ever increasing unconstitutional powers.

May God by his mercy and grace grant that "this nation, under God have a new birth of freedom", not just politically, in right decisions here by decentralizing federal government power, but more importantly, spiritually among the American people. May God once again save and bless America.

Thanks BuckeyeTexan - keep us posted.
