Apparently it does.
It was judicial tyranny applied by the conservative judges on the supreme court.
Then it was judicial tyranny when the SCOTUS ruled that the First Amendment applied to the states. If it didn't, New York would ban most churches and deny conservative internet speech. That would be SWELL. < /s>
States should be allowed to restrict gun ownership however they want to restrict it.
Then southern states should be able to reimpose slavery, too.
Or at least be able to define marriage...

According to what these people are citing and referencing to, that is a very true statement.
I really figured the ‘gun groups’ would jump all over the ruling that the Marriage must ‘count’ if one state approves and another doesn’t.
If that is the case, my carrying a gun from Virginia to Maine utilizing the entire 50 states and territories and have my Virginia issued permit granted and accepted in all the mentioned areas.
That is what the SC said - in effect - If the state of NY grants me a marriage license, the state of TN etal have to recognize the sovereignty of NY ...
As to the lady in TN, right wrong or indifferent she has to ‘obey’ the law in place until it is either shot down or verified. Some premise, don’t like the law, get another job or DO your job....
BUT
It does get tricky here, she is an elected position say the state - specifically her county voted to approve the marriages - then ‘they’ would say she was bound to the law.
If her county had disapproved the marriages, ‘they’ would say the ‘higher authority’ would take precedence.
Bottom line is, it is a ‘rigged deck’ and we are having 9 people more or less not only setting precedent, but also ‘making’ law -
They only use the Constitution to their benefit...
BTW...did BO have a private ‘swearing in for his 2nd term’?
I would imagine there is a law against a ‘private’ ceremony, if so, Roberts and BO should be held in contempt (Past my personal contempt etc)
Of course some wag would say “It wasn’t private, other people were in the building, just not in the same room”.
Worked for Clinton when asked if he and ML were ever alone in the White House.
