Gay Marriage Decision ~ Mississippi may ban all Marriages

[Chris]

Just say "I can't" and be done with it.

But I did and I am done with your word games.

[Chris]

No but there is in the declaration. so that is good enough for me

Preamble and BoR, and as shown in response to safety, the 14th amendment as well. Natural rights all over the place.

[Chris]

It is right next to the part where marriage is a right of the people

And that penumbral right the court found in the 70s.

[Chris]

I don't think this is anything calculated. After all, when all is said and done they are undermining the philosophical basis of their own claims.

They don't seem to realize that.

[Chris]

Just think how much money Mississippi will lose in marriage license fee's. They'd no doubt have to find another avenue to replace revenue lost through his hamfisted efforts to avoid compliance with the ruling by SCOTUS. Brilliant!

Legalize weed?

I didn't understand your question. I was asking for clarification.

I was agreeing with you on the 'Them? Two tries? Right?" Because it seems like .gov is still trying to get it right, and they've had more than two tries.

Still not clear what you're saying.

One could I suppose see two tries. There's a conflict between the Constitution being the law of the land and the rights of the states to govern themselves, Amendment X. The first Congress decided prohibitions against violating natural rights applied to the new federal government, which made sense because the Constitution defines, empowers and limits the federal government. Later there was a shift toward applying the notion of law of the land with the incorporation of protections of some natural rights, Amendment 14, which incorporation has been extended over time. Both are Constitutionally grounded arguments.

St Aquinas said of natural law, which extends to natural rights, that it is that much of God's law man can discover through right reason. So, yes, it is a discovery process.

I was just agreeing with the statement you made, even though you made it asking for more info.
