It is completely within the rights of each state to determine who can enter into said contracts

No state has the right to legislate that fire does not burn, or that water is not wet.

Re-enact your prior laws. Marriage is constitutionally NOT a Federal matter.

“Resisting the Federal courts in this way is not nullification, because no Federal law is being nullified. Should Congress pass a bill and the President sign it into law under the Full Faith and Credit clause requiring Oklahoma to recognize unions contracted in New York, and Oklahoma resist, THAT would be nullification.”

It is one of many curiosities about the Standing of the Federal ‘court’ in this case. Not the least of which the which the absence of law Federal in nature Constitutional or legislative.

How is it that they can demand anything of our States where no law authorizing said action has ever existed? Their leftist appointed subordinates have been demanding a service be given where no law authorizes said service at all.

As for Congressional Contract Power, there is nothing prohibiting two men or women from forming any sort of contract. People sign contracts all the time frequently involving many parties of various sexes. Marriage is not a contractual creation of the state nor is the State’s licence a contractual agreement.

Insolently even to the exist that the legal concept of marriage in the State is a specific application of a specific kind of contract, to allow the Federal court to redefine that sort of contract would necessarily extend their legislative power over all other contracts by the exact same means of claiming violation of an unwritten and apparently universally applicable constitutional clause.

“No state has the right to legislate that fire does not burn, or that water is not wet.”

This is true as a matter of natural law, but politicians like judges are quite accustom to the practice of telling lies to expand their power.

I wouldn’t put it past a legislator, or legislating Federal judge to pass just such a law if it could in anyway benefit their reach of power.

The practical consequences is that we the people should laugh at them as nature defies their will with impunity, Just as we laugh at and unequivocally reject the notion that two or more people of the same sex are some how ‘married’ to each other.

They may call their marriage whatever they want, but even the expert lairs of the State can never make it so. Marriage is between a man and a woman and there are no more exceptions to that natural law than there is to any other.

Since the Constitution does not specifically mention marriage of any sort, how can the Federal Courts throw out state laws that specifically regulate it?

More than 40 federal court rulings declaring a right to same-sex marriage have been handed down since the Supreme Court in 2012 struck down a provision of the federal Defense of Marriage Act . . .

A made-up "right" that would have been UNIMAGINABLE a generation ago. If that is not a sign that our elitist judiciary has gone off the deep end, I don't know what would be.

“Of the Radical left who now firmly control our media...”

They control our media because good men haven’t dragged these Nazi fascists into a dark parking lot and read them the riot act.

The media pigs don’t stand 10-feet tall and threaten us with their Rambo martial skills.

These media mutts pee in their pants, hate guns, have been castrated by weak 100-lb feminists, wear mascara, carry purses and wouldn’t last two minutes on a battlefield.

So, Republicans are afraid of these castrated, leftist wimps for what reason????

The Alien Friends act should be renewed.

If a central socialist government (like ours) can change the rules regarding gender then the rules can absolutely be changed regarding age requirements and even consent laws.

The future would include pedophiles being able to force children to marry them. The Muslims here and abroad already marry children as did the ‘prophet’ Mohammed.

The groundwork has been laid in other countries so no one with a functioning brain can’t claim that it isn’t. To radically redefine one of the most important foundations of civilized society and not expect everything to be radically shaken and changed.

Anal sex makes it impossible to procreate, but the next thing we’ll see happen is the evil central socialist government spending billions to see if one of the homosexual partners can be re-plumbed.

Those among us who would argue that homosexuals and the filthy ways they achieve orgasms is perfectly normal and healthy are as stupid as the phony president who calls those crawling out of the closets to congratulate them.
