How about the fact that gay marriage is not a Federal issue. It’s not in the Constitution and there is no Federal law or regulation saying same sex persons may marry. The Ninth should not have given an opinion on it. Kennedy just slapped down the Ninth for ruling in an area they have no jurisdiction over.

Well somebody knows what the hell they are talking about. Problem is here are 5 justices who don’t.

Exactly and that should be the USSC ruling. The Constitution defines what is the domain of the federal government and sets it's limits. All the rest of the domain not specified in the Constitution is delegated to the states as it should be. If courts would uphold this it would straighten government out considerably and stop it's overreach and intrusions.

I agree, but that hasn’t stopped FedZilla, President, Congress, Supreme Court, from making it up.. Obamacare is recent case in point.

That’s correct. It is up to the voters in any state to determine what is involved in a legally accepted marriage.

States are the sites of social experimentation, not the Federal government.
