I’ve already stated that I don’t support the gay agenda. It’s entirely constitutional for a state to vote on the legality of gay marriage. Why did Wisconsin vote against unions? Oh yeah, because of the 10th Amendment, which explicitly says that a state may do so, because the power to regulate unions isn’t solely reserved to the federal government.

That’s the 10th Amendment in action. It’s why Alaska, Arizona and Vermont are unrestricted when it comes to purchasing firearms, while New York and California are may-issue.

It has been decided that the Second Amendment applies to the states as well, but I still can’t buy a firearm in Brooklyn, NY without jumping through hoops, which have since been declared illegal.

Did you also ping Jim Robinson in order for him to see what I’m posting, ie. saying it’s legal for a state to vote on the legality of gay marriage without having to support the gay agenda, in hopes of having him ban me?

The beauty of the Bill of Rights: 1st Amendment to say what you want, 10th Amendment to vote on something without getting the federal government involved, which also works both ways. Get a petition going in your state to ban gay marriage. After all, you have the right to.

I’d like your opinion if you’re willing to offer it, on what I’m saying about the 10th Amendment as it concerns a state’s ability to vote on the legality of gay marriage.

We did that in California 3 times. Each time it was overturned by the FEDERAL courts.

Tell me that this is a "states rights" issue when every time California has tried to define marriage in a traditional manner, the FEDERAL courts have effectively told all of us to pound sand.
