If we can get it through the Senate, it would pass. Most states have already banned Gay marraiges.

sound like frist may have recieved lots of phone calls this week after the prescription drug and supreme court boondoggles this past week. for he sounds like a conservative
To: aimhigh
I like the idea, but I'd rather that they protect traditional marriage and define it as only being possible for a man and woman to enter into it, not use language that is a "ban".
Just basic politicing stuff, but its important to keep the spin off and make this a positive, example, not anti-abortion, but pro-life, stuff like would work here.

I refuse to call homosexuals 'gay' or 'lesbian'.
I will not call pedophiles 'child lovers' or whatever euphemism they might come up with to soften their perversity.

And this matters, and is an issue of vital concern for the Federal Government because?????????
It doesn't increase national security.
It doesn't create a job.
It doesn't improve or increase infrastructure.
It isn't even going to benefit the actual homestead of social conservatives.
How about a little consistency here - if a state wants to legalize it, your precious 10th amendment should allow it, right? Because, after all, I've never heard a 10th amendment proponent ever argue for it on any basis other than to intrude on the lives of other people.

And while I'm at it - can anyone tell me why no one has ever used the 10th to increase freedoms to anyone?
Why is it always used as the basis for silly crap - from banning miscegenation, prohibiting blacks from participating in local commerce and stripping their voting rights, to prohibing vibrator sales as well as prohibiting sodomy, even among married heterosexuals.
To: Sonny M
not use language that is a "ban". Besides, it makes little sense to speak of "banning" something that doesn't as yet even exist in America.

What about limiting the court's jurisdiction? Although it has never been tried (I think), I believe Cangress can do so, and it is already in our constitution.
Revoke ths SCOTUS jurisdiction on sexual matters.

Anyone ever read "The Constitution For The United States Of America"?
I doubt it, especially Mr Frist.
Try reading, it take about 11 minutes, "The Declatation Of The Thirteen Colonies." An odd, obscure, date is coming up 07-04-1776.

Repubs showing BACKBONE! Yay!!!

Because the 10th Amendment took a REAL big hit last week.
Not that it's been in the best of shape for the last couple of decades.

I am with you on that. I stopped using "gay" about 3 years ago when I first came across the term "transgendered", the manufacture of which made me realize that their goal was to emotionally neutralize sexual aberrations by not using the correct terms.

Besides, it makes little sense to speak of "banning" something that doesn't as yet even exist in America.Sort of, there are civil unions in vermont, and some other places. Since canada is getting it, it's pretty easy to say it can happen here. The problem is that if this is a law, it could go to scotus and be over turned, we might need a constitutional amendment to lock it down.
