Another judge on the wrong side of history.

See: Genesis 19, Romans 1, and ancient Greece.

A federal judge can’t tell a state what to do.

Have you been asleep the last two hundred years? The Supreme Court has been telling the states what to do since at least McCulloch v. Maryland (1819).

even if we had a fed constitutional amendment they would judge shop and then have a decision saying that was unconstitutional ,’’
