Beware of the pro-gay media sidestepping the following points concerning Liz Cheney’s support for gay marriage. Not only did pro-gay activist justices sidestep one of the basic reasons for recently finding DOMA unconstitutional, that the states have never delegated to Congress the specific power to regulate marriage, the 10th Amendment clarifying that the Constitution’s silence about such issues means that marriage is a unique state power issue, but also consider this.

DOMA was arguably a violation of the Constitution’s prohibition on religious tests for federal public servants, Clause 3 of Article VI, DOMA associated with the Christian faith.

Again, who cares about federal lawmaker’s stances on gay marriage since the states have never delegated to the feds, via the Constitution, the specific power to address marriage issues.

The federal government has ALWAYS had to have it's definition of legal marriage for using among it's own employees.

Today the military and federal government accepts homosexual marriage for itself, and as we can see, all states will recognize it, whether they allow the actual ceremony within their borders or not.
