While I support Chief Alamama Justice Roy Moores stance against gay marriage, why does not he simply point out the following?
Not only does the Constitutions silence about marriage means that marriage is a unique, 10th Amendment-protected state power issue, but the constitutions silence about so-called gay marriage means that it is not constitutionally protected right.
Exactly right. That's pretty much what I intended to convey in my previous post, but you did it better using many fewer words and with more clarity of the intent of those words than I could muster up.
