Republicans approve bill to protect same-sex marriage . . . give finger to Constitution and federalism

A authentic liberal, like me.

Unfortunately, one is real, the other not.

The full faith and credit clause is not being applied evenly.

We donā€™t care if they get married we are just gonna write about how much we donā€™t careā€¦. And how everything those other people do should be in private ā€¦.

Donā€™t make marriage in your state a public actā€¦and then you can stipulate that.

In most states, marriage is a public act soā€¦Full Faith and Credit applies.

Perfectly constitutional.

What ā€œgood reasonsā€?

Them getting married and enjoying the benefits (taxes and legal) that come with that in no way, shape or form impacts anyone elseā€™s marriageā€¦even if one thinks LGBTQ is wrong.

Doubtful. When the Defense of Marriage Act was actually being voted on only 1 state voted against it.

In TN 80 percent voted for it.

Actual voting means more than any number of left wing ā€œpollsā€ saying otherwise.

We donā€™t care what they doā€¦but they canā€™t call what they do ā€œmarriageā€ because reasons.

DOMA was passed 26 years ago.

You seriously think the sentiment for it is the same now as it was then?

Itā€™s what some have to cling.

Where does the Constitution accommodate opposite sex couples?

The Full Faith and Credit Clause always applies where applicable. But it does not require one state to enforce a law or policies [sexual deviant marriages] of another state.

Youā€™re wrong. Again.

Our federal constitution is silent on the subject. In fact, the Tenth Amendment reserves to the States and people therein all authority not delegated to the United States.

The subject you mention is in fact one of the powers retained by the states and people therein under federalism, which is summarized as follows:

ā€œThe powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on external objects, as war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce; with which last the power of taxation will, for the most part, be connected.

The powers reserved to the several States will extend to all the objects which, in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal order, improvement, and prosperity of the State." ___ Federalist 45

Or even better Constitutional carry.

According to you but not the constitutional meaning of the Full Faith and Credit clause.

As Supreme Court Justice Stanley Reed concluded in Griffin v. McCoach (1941), ā€œA state is not required to enforce a law obnoxious to its policy.ā€

That is not law. Itā€™s an opinion. Mine is not opinion.

Youā€™re wrong. Again.

According to you!

Wrong about what?

Again- thats a law. Other states donā€™t have to enforce laws made by other states (see Cannabis). So- not Article 4.

But you have an argument that the 2nd should be applied equally in all 50 states.
