"If everyone in a particular community want to have gay marraige, fine. I won’t live there and as long as the rest of the country isn’t forced to recognize it then they’ll all stay put." That is what I believe and believe it strongly. Thompson has said that he would like the full faith and credit eliminated where marriage is concerned. Most states have already taken care of this issue after Massachuesets legalized gay marriage. That is the way it is supposed to work in this country. People can decide the issue at the state and local level. We have enough of Washington D.C. politicians sticking their noses where it was never meant to be placed. There are far too many issues that should be left to the states and are not...abortion, homosexual marriage, drink age, etc. The way things are going now, the state governments will be nothing but window dressing and all decisions will be made in the beltway.

“Most states have already taken care of this issue after Massachuesets legalized gay marriage. That is the way it is supposed to work in this country. People can decide the issue at the state and local level.”

And five members of the U.S. Supreme Court can overnight overturn all the laws and constitutional amendments approved by the states to protect marriage, including yours in Missouri.

Only way to stop that — permanently — is a Marriage Protection Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Which President Bush, the RNC national platform, 43 out of 49 GOP U.S. senators, etc., etc., all endorse, by the way.

I fear that’s pretty much how it is already.

“Thompson has said that he would like the full faith and credit eliminated where marriage is concerned.”

A president has no authority to adjust or change a legal doctrine in the courts.

Thompson’s words are meaningless.
