Frum is, of course, correct. No matter the entreaties of the neo-federalists, marriage is a national issue. It can be no other way.

SCOTUS will cite "equal protection" and they will be right to do it.

If the line is not drawn here and now, there will be no line and the deconstruction of marriage and the family will gather speed.

Frum is an excellent writer. I just finished his book,'The Right Man'. Now I want to read his new one.

Whether or not gays can get married should not be an issue for the federal government, it should be left to the states. The 'full faith and credit' clause does not have to apply.

Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong.

Odd remark, considering you started it.

Whatever. I pinged you to the article. You made a comment I couldn't figure out. The end.

There was a time in this country when certain states did not recognize interracial marriages, even if performed in other states where they were lawful. I'll bet there are court decisions on most of these issues. (I honestly don't know how the courts decided them, but there are precedents.)

No, you wanted to play games about renewing our previous discussion, which you abandoned here:

Not true. But I learn fast. I won't be pinging you again.

I was the last to respond on that thread btw. So if you felt abandoned, blame yourself. I thought we were finished.

Why are you so testy today? Ahhh, don't answer that. I don't care why.

The Full Faith and Credit Act was first enacted, I believe, in the 1930s (can some helpful fellow FReeper check me on that, please)? A good deal past the era of legalized slavery, in other words.
