[Luis Gonzalez]

The State of Texas enacted a bad law, even in the dissenting opinions that was a running theme.

States cannot enact laws that violate the Constitution, this one violated the 14th Amendment.

Notice the State in question is one of only four that enacted same-sex anti-sodomy laws.

Sodomy laws in Florida are constitutional as they make the act illegal for all citizens.

To grant the power to define marriage to the Federal Government is a time bomb, and it will blow in our faces just like every other time we have turned over a State's right to the Feds.

Most people here think that I have some twisted belief in homosexuality, I don't. I am simply trying to focus people on the facts of the issue, and pointing to both what I think was done wrong by Texas that brought us to this point, and what we should do to avoid catastrophe in the years ahead.

Sodomy laws in Florida are constitutional as they make the act illegal for all citizens.

Not according to our all-wise SCOTUS.

I have the same fear of it being a time bomb ... but I also can't deny that others here do have a point on what WILL happen down the road.

So how is this problem to be solved

[First Amendment]

To grant the power to define marriage to the Federal Government is a time bomb, and it will blow in our faces just like every other time we have turned over a State's right to the Feds.

The time is long past - the Feds have already stolen most of the States' rights long, long ago.
