It's true they did, but they didn't have the authority. They were making it up. We need to reclaim the plain meaning of the Constitution if we want to reclaim the country. Banning interracial marriage may be daft and ultimately undefinable, but saner states are free to attract citizens who don't want daft laws on marriage—that's our defense against stupid laws, not Federal ambulance chasing. Hard cases make bad law, and ultimately destroy the Constitution.
If we want a government that's less corrupt, we have to play by our own rules.
“Banning interracial marriage may be daft and ultimately undefinable, but saner states are free to attract citizens who don’t want daft laws on marriage—that’s our defense against stupid laws, not Federal ambulance chasing. Hard cases make bad law, and ultimately destroy the Constitution.”
The hard reality is that bans on gay marriage are going to be ruled unconstitutional and a violation of civil rights.
The court, I think, is not viewing this issue through the lens of what’s acceptable by God or anything in the Bible.
It’s being looked as any two individuals. Do two individuals have the right to marry. If they do then gender doesn’t come into play.
