Same-sex couple in Mississippi goes to court to seek divorce

"... who argued a U.S. Supreme Court ruling on June 26 requires all states to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples and to recognize same-sex marriages validly performed in other states.

Not only have the states never amended the Constitution to expressly protect gay marriage as required by both the Constitution's Article V and the 14th Amendment, activist Justices actually having no constitutionally enumerated gay marriage rights to apply to the states, but also consider the following.

The states gave the power to decide the effect of one state's records in another uniquely to Congress, not the Supreme Court, as evidenced by the Constitution's Full Faith and Credit Clause, Section 1 of Article IV. And regardless that it is popularly believed that the Supremes found the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) unconstitutional, Section 2 of DOMA is evidently still in effect and totally contradicts what the Supremes have said about gay "marriage."

Section 2. Powers reserved to the states
No State, territory, or possession of the United States, or Indian tribe, shall be required to give effect to any public act, record, or judicial proceeding of any other State, territory, possession, or tribe respecting a relationship between persons of the same sex that is treated as a marriage under the laws of such other State, territory, possession, or tribe, or a right or claim arising from such relationship. --Defense of Marriage Act (Read this before it gets sanitized.)

Unconstitutional Obamacare and the so-called right to gay"marriage" forced on the states by activist justices are the biggest attacks on state sovereignty by the corrupt federal government in recent history memory imo.

But what is worse, activist justices who lie about what the Constitution says, or citizens who don't bother to read the Constitution and don't know when justices are lying to them as a consequence?

The ill-conceived 17th Amendment needs to disappear, and corrupt senators and activist justices along with it.
