Re: Ala Chief Justice Tells Judges: Refuse Gay Marriage Licenses
This isn't about federal government getting involved. There is no federal law at play, nor any action by any federal agency. These are state laws being challenged under the constitution. The question before the court is whether the state defining marriage as between a man and a woman is constitutional under the 14th amendment.
The 14th amendment does apply to the states.
Since when did the federal government need to get involved in whether prisoners have the "right" to marry?
We are so far removed from what the founders of this nation had in mind in terms of how our government is structured, it's ridiculous. I don't want the federal government involved with social issues.
