| kaneada said: As unconstitutional as those actions are, its is also unconstitutional to retro fit a definition of marriage as defined by a relgion and furthermore deny people the right to marry based on their sexual preferences. At this point its really an eye for an eye. All this crying about the flagrant abuse of the 1st amendment from a party that has continually pushed their agenda's by abusing the 1st amendment is hyprocritcal at best. |
I'm not at all sure that it is unconstitutional, actually, and calling it retrofitting seems pretty ignorant since same-sex marriage has never been sanctioned by Western civilization except for a relatively few instances in ancient Rome before they outlawed it.
Violating actual civil rights in a symbolic show of support for civil rights is the very height of hypocrisy. Particularly from the likes of Rahm Emanuel, who served as chief of staff for a guy who not so very long ago professed to share Dan Cathy's view on gay marriage.
