Red herring examples. All of those involve either children, polygamy, or some form of fraud.

NONE of those adress two adults who are not engaged in fraud.

Real money is on judges ruling that two adults of the same sex do not impose on any governemnt interest and doma violates that.

A mere law is too weak and too "tweakable". A FMA will stop the politica BS from the left and homosexuals.

BTW: ALL: beware of disinformation trolls. They HRC and other homowacko groups seek to suggest various grounds to not ammend under the guise of conservatism.

The FMA codifies the EXISTING LAW. It puts in black letter law marriage is one man and one woman. It fulfills the removal of the issue from judges. It puts the remaining questions of civil unions where they should have stayed. individual states, individually.

Beware trolls. (Not you Trinity_Tx) Just be alert folks. We hit a nerve today.

I don't think anyone's trolling, really. This is legitimate case law going back to the thirties, and it has worked well. It's been the the reason states passed their own DOMAs.

The point was to settle the debate about where the FCC will come in, so we can focus on where our vulnerabilities truly lie...

Bottom line is, the "unless a state has a statute forbidding it" clause should protect us from the FCC, but I agree with you that it wont now that we have the powerful gay lobbies involved, for the reasons I gave.
