First, the SCOTUS does not rule, as in making rulings. The SCOTUS renders opinions, a ruling must contain enforcement power to which the SCOTUS was never granted.
Says you. And the authority you insist was never granted is laid out in the 14th amendment:
No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
From Section 1 of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States
You simply refuse to acknowledge the 14th amendment exists.
Um, so what?
That it's laid out in the 14th amendment is YOUR opinion. That's your problem. You say it is and demand everyone accept what you say.
I'm not quoting me. I'm quoting the federal judiciary. And they recognize violations of the 14th amendment as the basis of the overturning of state gay marriage bans.
With the USSC having preserved every ruling that overturned state gay marriage bans.
Without exception.
I must end here, but at least use the proper abbreviation of the United States Supreme court. It is NOT the USSC, it is the SCOTUS. I cannot spend all my time in educating the ignorant.
So you ignored the 14th amendment, ignored the constitution, ignored decades of precedent, ignored 3 USSC cases explicitly contradicting you, and ignored virtually every federal court to hear challenges to same sex marriage bans overturning them....
......but you refuse to discuss the topic with me
because you don't like the acronym I use for the Supreme Court?
Laughing....whatever gets you through the day, buddy.
I ain't your buddy....I have been discussing the topic with you all morning, I just have other things more important than educating you. This does not mean that I will not check in and respond from time to time.
I do not ignore y the fourteenth amendment to YOUR CONstitution, I simply point to your misuse thereof.
I have cited precedence that is contrary to this fictional jurisdiction in the redefining of the set legal definition of a marriage.
The fact that Alabama or any other State refuses to redefine the word marriage has nothing to do with denying equal protection of the law.
The fourteenth amendment would only be violated if the Sodomite were denied the right to contract a civil union equivalent to a marriage contract. You are ignorant in your understanding of the powers delegated to the SCOTUS, the POTUS and the Congress. In short you exist in a fictional reality based on indoctrination of fiction rather than face realities. As I have offered....
"...[A]llow them [the conquered] to live under their own laws, taking tribute of them, and creating within the country a government composed of a few who will keep it friendly to you.... A city used to liberty can be more easily held by means of its citizens than in any other way....
"...[T]hey must at least retain the semblance of the old forms; so that it may seem to the people that there has been no change in the institutions, even though in fact they are entirely different from the old ones. For the great majority of mankind are satisfied with appearances, as though they were realities, and are often even more influenced by the things that seem than by those that are.... [The conqueror should] not wish that the people... should have occasion to regret the loss of any of their old customs...."
Niccolo Machiavelli
The reality is that YOUR SCOTUS, POTUS and CONGRESS do as they choose because you would rather face fiction than reality, therefore you accept subjugation.
