The duties not enumerated in the Constitution as belonging to the federal government belong to the states, according to the Tenth Amendment. Nowhere is the regulation of marriage given to the federal government.
As in DOMA, but now this?
The duties not enumerated in the Constitution as belonging to the federal government belong to the states, according to the Tenth Amendment. Nowhere is the regulation of marriage given to the federal government. The recent SCOTUS ruling is wrong and should be ignored by the states. Go back to the Constitution and weed out any laws or agencies that are not designated as duties of the federal government.
I actually agree with your interpretation!
[[Nowhere is the regulation of marriage given to the federal government. The recent SCOTUS ruling is wrong and should be ignored by the states.]]
This is exactly wht happened years ago- the federal government tried soemthign similar, making a law, having supreme court rule on it, SC I guess upheld it- then gov tried enforcing it, but states overruled and refused to comply, and the law was defeated- can’t remember now which law- but states banded together and would not allow the law to be enforced I ntheir state-

Dept. of Education, yes.

I doubt there is one governor who would do anything but talk about the 10th amendment. Perry talked about it but that’s all he did.
The states should ignore this ruling. We have hundreds of cities making it safe for illegals, we have states ignoring drug laws, and yet the states are supposed to go by this ruling. Screw that.
The SCOTUS ignored the Constitution, the states had spoken on this issue and the feds had no right to make a law.
Like I said , if certain cities and states ignore federal laws which suits their agenda then states should ignore this and still keep marriage as one man and one woman.
