I have absolutely accounted for myself. If marriage were an established right regulated by the Feds, they would set the rules. It is not therefore the differences in state laws allowing discrimination in various cases.
The Federal Courts have ruled that if a state/county issues marriage licenses they must be issued to both gay and straight. They also must recognize marriages from other states. Great, that's how it should be. What the Federal Courts can't do is force a state or county to issue marriage licenses.
Interesting to me that the people who are against the Feds being involved in marriage didn't say anything until homosexuals were allowed to. Where were you twenty years ago?

It doesn't need to be expressly stated, nitwit.
But if your wondering where in the Constitution the protection is afforded - according to Justice Kennedy, the 14th. More specifically marriage is a liberty protected by the due process clause. For the gays, the due process and the equal protection clause won them their right to be recognized.
Absolutely. There is merit with positions on both sides of the issue, but tons of whining and dramatics acting to dilute. That's what this whole KY thing has become - drama, whining and political pandering to top it off.
Holy ****.
You're still talking.
Okay, little bird, then I say neither the federal nor state governments should grant you a right to run your company out of their county. Move to another, and I say they refuse you as well.
You're a dumbass, aren't you?
Look, just let people live in peace. Will you?
There is no right to marriage nitwit. It is NOWHERE in the Constitution. If you would like to argue that the benefits shared by people that are married should be afforded to others that wish to enter civil unions, then I will agree with that. In other words, equal protection. And yes, the stretch is that it should apply to anyone that wishes to enter into a legal union now.
What you are trying to do is convince the thread that all religious texts should be changed to fit your beliefs or lack thereof. What I am trying to get you to see is that if you substitute civil union for marriage license, all the BS that has gone on in this country for decades on this subject would be moot. But in typical liberal fashion, your side of the argument is all about you. It's not about accommodation, it's about your way period.
You're to dam stupid to realize I'm not arguing gay marriage. I'm arguing the Fed Courts overstepped their bounds.
Bla bla bla.
Wake me up when you get appointed to the SC and author the majority opinion that overturns Kennedy's.
In the mean time, my suggestion that you expedite this legal gem you've uncovered to the Davis Defense Team.
Rage? Don't flatter yourself. If you had an argument that had an ounce of sense, I might become "emotionally invested". What you are pushing is straight up BS.
No, I know you well. I know exactly what you're arguing. And I don't give a crap what you think about state's rights concerning how marriage should work.
The Supreme Court, for all its flaws, made the right decision. And thank god we don't have to rely on people like you anymore to make said decisions.
Tell me, what is the difference between marriage and school access?
I'm not going to say you're against Brown v. Topeka, because I don't believe that. That would be especially low even for you. But please tell me why this is different.
