To: what's up

Its going before the Supreme Court soon, if gay marriage wins a referendum, the gay lobby will use it as proof of changing public opinion. If Supreme Court buys the narrative that society chose this path, they may chose to expedite the process. Which is why it is so important that these measures fail (and the one in Minnesota passes).

That said, DOMA is probably unconstitutional atleast in part. It allows one state to not recognize another states marriage license, which likely violates full faith and credit clause of US Constitution. If Texas allows 16 year olds to marry, and New Mexico does not, a couple married in Texas does not become divorced if they move to New Mexico. It will be very hard to justify and explain why same sex marriage is an exception.

Because same-sex "marriage" is not true marriage.

The Full Faith and Credit Clause is perverted and only partially quoted by Leftist Communists in their attempt to invalidate ALL state laws and homogenize every state to be identical (with respect to liberal laws, anyway.)

They always forget the second part: "And the Congress may by general Laws prescribe the Manner in which such Acts, Records, and Proceedings shall be proved, and the Effect thereof."

DOMA is wholly and completely constitutional, that is, if you're using the U.S. Constitution.

should ban all over this country homosexual marriage, because if one agrees and defines marriage for homosexuals then we shoudl allow al sorts of sham marriage.

The fact is that not one state which has this sham marraige has let their voters vote on this issue but we have a cowardly GOP who will not mention this, not call out the media bias, won;t name names in the media and all this lets be nice to the left and the homostapo is only helping them to firther their agenda.

Oh and ref your last line.

No it is not hard to argue, its the cowards we might have on here, talk radio and in the GOP who shut up about the homosexual agenda , who hear their family members, their neigbors at work etc talk about this issue and those cowards shut the hell up and that is what the left wants.
