The Federal Government has no business treating married and single people differently.
The guy sounds like a morron, but you read the comments on his post and most are supportive of his idiotic view.
You would think schools today would encorage the basic level of critical thinking necessary to realize that “due process of law’ and “Equal protection of the law” with out a written ‘law’ upon which to depend is necessarily tyranny when inherently inventively applied by a ‘judge’ who must then rely upon his pardisin imagination to imagination what that ‘law’ under which we should be equal or get due process in being prosecuted should be.
Judges and lawyers of course love this position of near boundless legislative power they have created for themselves, who wouldn’t want the capability to change or recreate whatever law they want based upon what they think should be the case or constitutes Equality?
But of course as Aristotle said:
“The worst form of inequality is to try to make unequal things equal.” We created elected legislators not judges to make theses judgments and enshrine them in law. We only ever created exclusives and judges to enforce them on a case by case basis.
“The Federal Government has no business treating married and single people differently.” While I find no power in the Federal Constitution authorizing Federal distinction among any sort of men, except thous free and not free, Indiana and not Indian, citizen and not citizen.
The only legitimate question of marriage for Washington is a question of employee benefits. The rest such as property distribution after death or child custity after divorce are clearly state issues domestic law issues.
Of course in regard to employee benefits I honestly think this is a bad policy in itself, to have employees diversify their methods of pay into both Goods & services. But of course this is largely a product of Washington’s Own Tax policy in that some services are not taxed the same way as income(A ‘good’).
That said this collage student seems to have no critical thinking skills in that he can’t even recognize that “Due process of law” and “equal protection of law” when applied by judges outside of written ‘law’ upon which to decide is necessarily tyranny as a ‘judge’ must substitute his own idea’s or the ideas of the lawyers in deciding what what kind of equal protection to apply or what process was ignored.
This is perhaps the most insane invention of our corrupt Federal employees in black robes. The one that necessarily brings a form of tyranny to all formerly freemen.
But of course lawyers, and judges love it as it is a form of dictatorial power for them to change or impose whatever law they think ‘right’ or necessary and decide to add to the massive body of notably unwritten law under which they judge equality, and due process.
The article is libertardian rubbish. Judicial review is a power the courts arrogated to themselves with a creative interpretation- which has led to still more fabrications such as Roe and the rulings in support of same-sex marriage. If a state (or the people thereof) decided to define marriage a certain way, a plain reading of the Constitution says exactly nothing about marriage, and therefore, the Federal courts have no legitimate jurisdiction to say otherwise.
