I don’t agree with Dobson’s tactic however your absurd regugitation of the do nothing position of Federalism alegedly espoused by Fred Thompson DOES NOT HELP his campaign.
Marrige IS a federal issue. Hiding his head in the sand with an absurd and non-credible federalist position is about as valid as rudy guiliani’s position that the second amendment is a local issue.
Teh Federal Marriage Amendment codifies the common law. IOW it keeps what has been the law of the land since before the consititution.
The Federalist BS better be dumped FAST because it IS A DEALBREAKER. This position puts him on par with the kook ronpaul.
Now in addition Fred Thompson has weaseled on this so he actually has had TWO position on the Federal Marriage Amendment cited here on FR.
Those of us who actually practice law can see right through the legal BS espoused by these candidates.
Your post is an insult to Fred Thompson, his supporters
and the host of this forum.
