Maybe we should let the states decide. Why do we care if one or two go off on a tangent? let them. But we need a law that says we don’t all have to abide by the one or two crazy states lunacy.
So one liberal state should force the federal gov’t to recognize homo marriage? Because that’s what we are really talking about with Fred’s proposed amendment. You can’t have it both ways. You can’t write into the federal constitution, “marriage in these United States is defined whatever crazy way individual states choose to define it” and expect the federal gov’t to be allowed to pick and choose which of those marriages it will recognize and benefit. The only way the federal gov’t can avoid being forced to recognize homosexual marriage is if we define it as only between one man and one woman in the federal constitution. It isn’t a state issue when the federal gov’t recognizes them and provides dozens of benefits.
