When you preach that the people are entitled to, “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness” while denying that the people are in return obligated to be honest, loyal, and moral, you end up with an insane asylum full of self-destructive narcissists.

I give up.

I could say the sun comes out at midnight, doesn’t make it so.

However, if one has never read the document, nor the history and documents that it is based upon, including 900 years of English law, then yes, one could (ignorantly) say it’s a Constitutional right.

[Mastador1]

Not sure, exactly which part of The Constitution referenced marriage.

[Catmom]

The worst is yet to come!

[ExCTCitizen]

Constitutional right? Really? Where is it in the constitution?

[GeronL]

exactly

[higgmeister]

... do you think that the part of the U.S. Constitution providing Americans with equal protection under the law does or does not give gays and lesbians the legal right to marry members of the opposite sex?

Well yes!

Does perverting the Equal Protection Under the Law Clause to include gay marriage, marginalize and belittle the valid cause of Rights for Blacks?

Yes.

[fwdude]

BS. Then they would so viciously opposed marriage referendums like they do, would they?

[amihow]

Well, just remind people what the “marriage acts” are in same sex marriage and see if they still think it is o.k. Pretty harmful if one thinks about it and researches it.

“Say it enough and the sheep believe the lie apparently.”

No say it enough and the sheep will simply get tired of fighting it. Then their hope is that it all goes away, if they get what they want. And when it doesn’t go away, they’ll still be too tired to fight.

Same with Amnesty. If it would only get passed, then we won’t have to see all this BICKERING anymore on the issue.

Sucks, but that is how liberals win.

Marriage is not a constitutional right, never was. Its the perverted activist Judges stomping in state rights by placing man's laws before God....

Payback is going to be hell

[hal ogen]

No matter what “laws” these pervs pass or what judicial rulings they get...they are still pervs.

[RedMonqey]

Right

There ya go.

Those new ‘constitutional rights’ seem to spring up like weeds in these days.

[Jim from C-Town]

80% Try 95% or greater and that includes a vast majority of lawyers, even constitutional lawyers. Do you really believe that Elana Kagan EVER read the Constitution? Do you really believe Obama ever read the constitution? I doubt it. Affirmative Action all the way. Right to the SCOTUS and the POTUS!

[Viennacon]

I doubt Kagan ever read a book. She definitely looks simple.

[Jim from C-Town]

Those are right next to the right to privacy, another invisible right that supersedes that right to keep and bear arms. As a matter of fact; The right to privacy is only a right when It has to do with sex, contraception or abortion. Other than that there really isn't a right to privacy as we ‘read’ it in the Constitution.

[Tau Food]

Homosexual propaganda is working.

[Impy]

It’s a shame Doma wasn’t overturned say back in the early 00’s or late 90’s. Back then a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage could have passed if that had happened.

How much things have changed, Vermont passed civil unions in 2000, that caused such a backlash that Republicans took the State House, in VERMONT.
