Amendment X: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.

If that's what Massachusetts wants, let Massachusetts have it.

The voters of Massachusetts created the political climate that made that Massachusetts Supreme Court ruling possible. Let them live with the consequences.

Let's not embarrass the U.S. Constitution with the subject of gay marriage.

Let's not embarrass the U.S. Constitution with the subject of gay marriage.

Sadly that will be necessary because the "full faith and credit" clause of the constitution has a minimum of 5 votes on the SCOTUS at Mount Olympus for holding that the laws legislated by the Mass SJC will have to be recognised by all other states.

So , in essence what we are left with is 5 hard left judges in Massachusetts making the decision on the redefinition of marriage for 300 million Americans.

My advice is that the amendment is the lesser of two evils and thats why I will support it vehemently.

So if you are an employer in Iowa and you have 10 employees who are homosexual, you would have no problem being forced to pay for the health insurance for their lovers?
