Your screeds are interesting but win you no points. The Constitution is NOT the SOURCE of our RIGHTS. Never was, never will be. The CONSTITUTION IS A LIMIT ON THE AUTHORITY OF GOVERNMENT, PERIOD. All else comes under God, Family and Church. In about that order.

Where have I ever suggested that the Constitution is the source of rights?

In a word, if something is NOT MENTIONED in the Constitution, it is NOT something that government has authority over. How simple is that?

Are you talking about sodomites "marrying" each other or abortion?

With respect to the Federal government, neither marriage nor abortion falls to their jurisdiction. It’s that simple. I could POSSIBLY live with a definition of marriage placed in the Constitution, with the STATES to enforce it. On abortion, a simple federal law stating that life begins at conception, together with a rider stating that the federal courts have NO jurisdiction to rule on that law, would essentially compel the States to prosecute abortion as the murder it is. THAT is what Dr. Paul has sought for many years. I could go for that as well.
