RE :”Is same-sex marriage constitutional?”

The title of this illustrates why this battle is lost.

There is no court case looking at that question.

The question they are deciding on is if same-sex marriage is a federal constitutional right. So far a bunch of lower courts have made it such ordering states to hand out licenses .

How can constitutional rights just come into thin air? Without an amendment?

Like ‘Islamic’, if ya cant even explain what the debate is about then ya probably will lose.

Constitutional rights have nothing to do with it.

It depends on whether the Federal government wants to declare that SSM is one of the “privileges and immunities” that cannot be infringed on by the states.

And I think that they have already decided “yes” to this question.
