Because "non familial consenting adults" who were black and white could not marry. And "non familial consenting adults" who were of the same sex could not marry. So you were - and still are - lying. That was not the criteria. The criteria was one man and one woman.
Where is the lie, "Patriot"? Marriage was between one white man and one white woman. That is an indisputable fact...they were still non familial consenting adults, just like today. All the same rules still apply. Non familial consenting adult couples...blacks marrying whites, men marrying each other, women marrying each other, men marrying women. Non familial consenting adults, just like it's been since we stopped burning witches.
That is correct, "patriot", they could not marry because there were laws prohibiting it. Those laws were ruled unconstitutional, violating the 14th Amendment. Here endeth the lesson.
Based on the 14th amendment, shouldn't law prohibiting someone from marrying multiple spouses be unconstitutional and opposed by the same sex marriage crowd? You guys are all about equal protection until it involves situations you don't like or think shouldn't occur. Hypocrites.
Bingo! Ding, Ding, Ding....you finally caught on. It only took half a dozen posts explaining it to you. The criteria was not "non familial" as you wrongly claimed. It was one man and one woman of the same race. Then it became one man and one woman of any race. Currently is anyone with anyone because of an illegal and unconstitutional ruling.
Well my dear - we have a record national debt (over $19 trillion), a record number of people out of the labor force, and a record number of people on food stamps. Any objective, reasonable, and rational person would consider that catastrophic and a monumental failure.
That has been wytchy's line for years now. As usual, her irrational and inconsistent position puts her in a predicament. If she opposes marriage between multiple parties - it makes her a hypocrite. She was adamant that marriage should not just be between one man and one woman. But if she supports it, it proves the "slippery slope" she denies. That's why she refuses to give an answer (which is kind of an answer all in itself) and instead gives the disingenuous "well if that's what you want then fight for it".
Yeah sweetie. The federal government is explicitly restricted to 18 enumerated powers by the U.S. Constitution. Marriage is not one of those powers. Therefore they have no authority at all to rule on it.

Furthermore, only the legislative branch can create or alter law. The Supreme Court is part of the judicial branch. Therefore they cannot create a law stating that all states must recognize gay marriage.
Isn't it sad that liberals need the basics of the U.S. Constitution and the role of government explained to them? You people are an embarrassment to this nation.

If you think so, fight for it...just like interracial couples, formerly divorced couples, couples in which one or more partners is incarcerated and gay couples did.
