| Jon-Erich said: He says he wants just "one marriage law", yet all 50 sates already have their own marriage laws. I do know for a fact that incestuous marriages are legal in Alabama and I believe that I once heard that someone as young as 14 could get married in Hawaii with parental consent. Does he plan to look at the various laws regarding marriage in all 50 states and make one federal law that overrides all those other laws, or is he just going after gays? Also, I am not by any means a registered Republican, but if Santorum were a REAL Republican, he would believe that the federal government should stay out of everyone's personal business. Unfortunately, those kind of Republicans disappeared over 30 years ago and then the Neo-Cons who's beliefs contradict one another and make no sense came along. There is of course Ron Paul who stands out amongst other Republicans, but he's considered too "radical" to be President. |
He would propose a constitutional amendment that would clearly establish what is and isn't marriagable and so simply take the ability for individual states to establish marriage law away from them., though it's only wishful thinking on his end, since such an amendment would proverbially explode in the hangar. Even if we took the states' rights people out of the picture, the progressive lobby would murder the amendment quicker than quick, but with the states' rights trampling, it would never work either.
But one does wonder when there will be enough political consensus in this country to ever pass another constitutional amendment under the current system.
