I agree 100%.
1. Marriage is between a man and a woman and for those of us who are religious, God.
2. The government should have no say in the matter.
3. Everyone has known what “marriage” is for thousands of years. Getting a court order to change the definition for political reasons isn’t fooling anyone, including those who campaigned for the new definition. They would like to convince you, me, and themselves that they are “married” but we all know they aren’t.
OK, but we need to get clear about what the actual LAW says.
The Law of the Land, the Constitution, is the ONLY source of power and authority for the feds. If is ain’t in the Constitution, it doesn’t belong to the feds. Marriage ain’t in the Constitution and is thus outside of federal power. Period.
States are another matter. outside the Constitution, states are sovereign, so it is up to the people of a state to decide what to do with marriage. We all have personal views about it and that’s fine, but when it comes to government interference, we need to get real clear about what is valid and legal and what is invalid and illegal.
