Re: Karl Rove: 'I Could' Imagine Next GOP Presidential Nominee Supporting Gay Marriag
Reread the Ninth and recognize where it says "by the people."
There should be no precedence out there because the SCOTUS has absolutely zero authority over marriage - it's a Tenth Amendment issue, and if these clowns want to make it a federal issue then they can attempt to amend the Constitution.
The proponents of gay marriage cant do that (progressives in general) so they argue (or interpret) language despite the fact the Bill of Rights and Constitution is about as blunt as a Dr. Seuss book...
You need to revisit the 9th amendment.
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
Furthermore, you can't make your argument unless you object to Loving v Virginia as well, which also infringed upon the states' rights to define marriage.
The only way Loving v Virginia had standing is by first acknowledging that marriage was a right, which was already established in other previous rulings.
I am curious how long it will take for Congress to pass the next amedment. The last attempt was the DOMA amendment attempt.
I think we won't see any amendments from Congress for a long time.
