You are right in saying "A state could outlaw anything it wants as long as it doesnt go against the constitution". What you fail to realize is that a part of the constitution is how it's been interpreted over the years by precedents of the Supreme Court, one of which is the fundamental right to marry, conceive and have a family, none of which are enumerated in any amendment or in the text of the constitution. Another would be freedom of association, no where enumerated yet considered a fundamental right as established by the 1st amendment impliedly. |

FS | Homophobia doesn't just manifest itself in actual, visible fear of homosexuals. Most of the time it's hostility towards them in fear of being seen as one of them. | ||||

"States rights" are plural. "Is" is singular. You can be ignorant 'about', you can be ignorant 'regarding', but no one can be ignorant 'to how'. It is ignorant to say someone is 'ignorant to how'. You are ignorant. AND you do not know what legal precedent is. Do you? |

VinceZeb | I know that there is a thing called "state's rights" that is being destroyed in this country. Apparently you are ignorant to how this country was formed. | ||||

I'm not saying anything of the sort. You however, are now on record as saying "A state could outlaw anything it wants as long as it doesnt go against the constitution." Unless you mean, 'outlaw anything until the supreme court overturned the state law' you are quite wrong. You don't know what precedent is, do you? |

A state could outlaw anything it wants as long as it doesnt go against the constitution. So you are saying, in essence, if we outlawed animal/human marriages, we would be violating the rights of those groups? |

So you see the current Supreme court as being, what, Liberal? You may not like Clinton or Cochran. I certainly don't like either one. But I imagine they could both answer fairly simple questions about the relationship of the Constitution, Case Law and precedent. Becuase they graduated from law School. Answer the central question which wiill reveal your shoddy understanding of American Law and how it works. Could a state outlaw marriage? If not, why not? |

VinceZeb | Johnny Cochran was "active in law school" at one time as well. So was Bill Clinton. Most liberals have their agenda passed becuase of courts, not becuase of the Consitutional rights. | ||||

A.) You are such a bad writer it boggles the mind. B.) You don't know what case law is, let alone understand it's relationship to the constitution. C.) Find the right to Marry in the constitution. Can states bar marriage? D.) Did you read Punkgirl's post? E.) You certainly don't have to agree with her, but since she's actively in law school you might at least try thinking about what she wrote. It's safe to assume she's read the constitution too. |

Homophobia in the correct term really doesnt exist that much in america. Most people do not have a phobia or are afraid of gay people. It's most a moral issue with them. I think I have seen a case of homophobia once in my life, when I worked at an IHOP and this ugly beak nosed waitress made me bleach the table becuase a couple of supposedly gay guys ate their meals at that booth. Now that's homophobia. |

Yeah, I was really only thinking bout the ones that can say they've got a decent chunk of the world population following thier religion (Christianty, Judaism, Hindu, etc). You know, the ones folks take SERIOUSLY. Not that I condone taking religion seriously. |

kahljorn | You should join my Religion, in which I am God, but I condone hubris. Mostly my own. At first I thought Hubris was some kind of ground cover, then I realized i was only half right. | ||||

We had to change the Constitution to give women the right to vote in America, too. Sometimes people are wrong, and they admit it, and then they go about finding a way to repair the damage their mistakes have caused. That's a best case scenario. Most of the time people try to hide their mistakes or pass the blame to another. It is a damned hard thing to admit when you're wrong. We've all got too much pride. It'll be the end of us, mark my words. ![]() Not one god in any religion of which I can think at this moment condones hubris. |
