[G8 Diplomat]

Morality reigns supreme to the Constitution, and if it’s under attack why should the national government not have every right to stand up for it if the states won’t?

[Mr. Lucky]

And when the "morality" which trumps the Constitution is determined by leftists, we end up with Roe v. Wade. Sorry, I'll take freedom over the central government's concept of morality.

[papasmurf]

The “people” ARE the State. Blame the people for not standing up, not the legislature.

Look at what we, the people, did on the shamesty issue. THAT’S how the people become self determining.

[billbears]

The 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

Contrary to big government social 'conservative' nanny statists, morality falls under the 'ordinary course of affairs' and concerns the 'lives, liberties, and properties of the people'
