Gay marriage - nonsense. Marriage is a religious institution that the government has no business endorsing or failing to give license to in the first place.

Really?

Have you ever read the 10th Amendment?

Do you really think the founders, you know, the guys that actually created this form of government we enjoy would agree with your position?

Yep, Alabama’s approach seems perfectly constitutional to me. Alabama is asserting its right to keep government out of the religious institution of marriage. The United States Government has no authority to define marriage, either including or excluding gays.
