Please tell me where in the Constitution it gives the federal government power over this. It is purely a state government issue through the 10th amendment. Whether or not one agrees with the ban, the federal courts do not have power in the issue.

The SCOTUS just took one more step toward erasing the 10th amendment from the Constitution.

No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;

What this idiotic decision says, basically, is that the Founding Fathers who wrote the constitution then went home and created unconstitutional anti-sodomy laws.

All hail the Supreme Court! Our fearless cultural dictators!
