The Enabling Acts passed by Congress which allowed the entrance of four states, UT, ID, AZ, and OK, into the Union, forbid plural marriage FOREVER.

Yeah, that’ll stop ‘em even though the constitution, thousands of years of tradition and English common law didn’t.

As Sen. Cruz was attempting to articulate with the Feinstein lady was that once you start legislating outside the boundaries of the constitution, anything is possible.

Enabling Acts??? They were written by old dead people. What did they know? We are so much superior to them that I do not need to be reminded of them. See my key to the senate club room, that’s proof that I am superior to all but a few chosen others.

The democrats are feeling their oats and aren’t going to let a little thing like established law get in their way.

A Supreme Court ruling trumps an Enabling Act every time.
