So ChicagoGuy is out. We get it already. Yeah yeah, 200 years. I don't know if you've been following the news, but 200 years of State's Rights has been tossed out the window alot lately. We have a Supreme Court that is literally creating "rights" and text that simply did not appear, nor any rational Justice could prove was implied-by the US Constitution.
Precident is law, which is why their "ruling" is so important. Law is based on it now, so unless we impeach those members of the Supreme Court (not going to happen) a counter measure has to be establish or Gay Marriage is a done deal.
I think the American people would be better served by having this entire idiotic ruling reversed because alot more is affected than gay marriage by inventing this right to privacy canard. Santorum was 100% correct people, almost prophetic, and so many of you Libertarians that argued against his judicial point made fools of yourselves. The way Justice Kennedy ignorantly defended the majority decision (not citing text from the Constitution) he did exactly what Santorum predicted and effectively stopped any law against consentual sex between adult relatives, bigamy, polygamy, and prositution from being upheld as "Constitutional"
I agree that an amendment seems rash, but given the Judicial Activism of the Supreme Court of the United States of America, legislators aren't left with alot of options.
Absolutely true. The inevitable consequence of the culture war was that the side of traditional values would eventually fight back. Now, people are complaining that they are, because the thugs and bullies on the Left are just about to get their asses kicked.
