How can an Amendment to the US Constitution which can only be altered, enacted, or overturned by the Federal government, be something that GIVES power to the States?

Because Lawrence -- of which you apparently approve -- already took all of the power in question away, and the amendment gives most of it back. Do you think the 11th Amendment didn't give power to the states?

I get tired of the BS potshots by supposedly intelligent people in this forum, whether I "approve" of something or not is the least of your concerns, and I could not care less what your opinion of my opinion is.

What I care about is that people understand fully WHY things happen, and whether you like it or not (which I don't care either way) to constantly complain about activist courts and never enter a fight prepared to deal with an activist Court is plain stupid.

Which is what we constantly do, and why we constantly lose.

We handed this victory to the “other side” with our idiotic “all or nothing” attitude. Texas enacted a bad law, and we backed it in spite of the fact that WE KNEW it would eventually be decided on by an activist Court. We backed it, willing to gamble all…and we lost all.

We fed an obviously bad law to an activist Court (even in the dissenting opinions the silliness of the law was acknowledged) and are now surprised at the outcome!

How stupid can we possibly get?!?!?!?!

We can actually get stupider than that, we think that the solution to the problem of a Federal government wielding powers not granted to them by the Constitution, is to actually go to them for the solution, and along the way, surrender even more powers Constitutionally granted to the States!
