At least it is now a 14th Amendment issue (since it being declared a right that is now been revoked to a select group of individuals...a clear violation of the 14th) The matter may now be settled for the entire nation, once and for all. The beauty of this is that even a U.S. Constitution amendment to define marriage will not stand if passed because it would require the stated repeal of the 14th amendment, which is kind holy these days. The reason is that the US Constitution specifically says that it cannot contradict itself. With marriage now being considered a right all equally, the removal of that right for a specific group violates the 14th.fcsuperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09631601009349459890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20581097.post-11754503751452281942008-11-05T09:30:00.000-05:002008-11-05T09:30:00.000-05:00So, I guess there really is a significant differen...So, I guess there really is a significant difference between the two candidates then. :)<BR/><BR/>BTW, in my view, abuse of power comes from having a single political party.
