The 14th Amendment is a limitation on all government units.
You were referring to the Constitution when you said it was a limitation on government. Now you are switching to the 14th Amendment. If the 14th Amendment completely changed the meaning of the Constitution from a limitation on the federal government to a limitation on the States and the people... then perhaps the evidence of federal misconduct in its ratification is true.
The truth is that the 14th Amendment is being applied in a manner that validates the States' concerns of the time and not in accordance with the rest of the Constitution...
Then why did the Constitution apply to a state that would not vote to ratify, and further why does it only take 3/4 of the states to ratify an amendment? And did the 19th Amendment permit states to withhold the women's right to vote until they ratified it? The rights of the people do trump the powers of the state when so determined by the courts if necessary.
If the rights of the people come from the Courts because of the 14th Amendment... then the people have no rights...
Lots of federal shenanigans around the 14th Amendment... for a reason, no doubt...
It’s time to tell the truth; the 14th amendment was never ratified."The feds have seized, virtual total control, over every aspect of our lives via the 14th amendment’s “due process” clause. They have concocted a never ending series of “duties and rights” to “justify federal control” based upon that amendment. So I think it is only fair to ask a simple question."
"WAS THE 14TH AMENDMENT LEGITIMATELY RATIFIED?"
"Do you know the answer to that question? Of course not. You only know the lies you were taught in government schools and by the complicit criminal media."
Always been told how naïve I am concerning our Constitution. I believe that, now that you've...ratified it.
Perhaps it is your belief in an erroneous application of an unratified 14th Amendment that is the problem.
If the state interest is the preservation of the existing family unit, gay marriage is probably the last thing they should be worried about, given the breakup of the family unit in every way possible having nothing to do with gay marriage.
It's the last thing the Supreme Court should have been ruling in favor of, yes...
I made the case that the High Court is the final step, not necessarily the correct one (depending on one's opinion) in all cases.
No... the people are the final step.
The Supreme Court is not “Independent”"We are told from the time we can think and walk that we have this great system of government built on a system of brilliant checks and balances. It is pounded into our heads in school and in the media. The bulwark of this genius is supposedly our “independent” judiciary. It is indispensable to maintaining our supposed freedoms. It stands guard over our freedoms! The whole tale is such a load of CRAP."
"Today I am going to discuss what it means to have an independent vs. a dependent judiciary. When you finish reading this you will have been given an objective framework with which to analyze the independence of the court’s performance, probably for the first time in your life, and you will then be able to articulate what the real problem is with the system. Instead of just feeling like it is broken."
"You will be able to see how it is an utter FRAUD. So let’s begin."
Okay, gay marriage is directly linked to abortion and the selling of body parts. I'm guessing gun control efforts by the liberals are also part of that plan to ultimately legalize gay marriage and child sex.. And remember, the government didn't require vaccinations for our kids until they started planning for gay marriage. I guess I missed all those linkages, thus confirming your concerns about my naivety.
I simply said that you were the one who brought up the 14th Amendment, Roe v Wade and 'slippery slope' argument that allegedly 'has yet to show prospect' and now that it has blown up in your face, you don't want to talk about it any more. But I do know how you like to draw ridiculous conclusions to try and invalidate some else's point. That and the liberal use of emoticons used as 'argument'...
Again read what I said WRT the slippery slope argument in the gay marriage issue. You and others believe that this decision will ultimately lead to atrocities like legalized pedophilia and bestiality. Since those activities require victims, I doubt very much there's any linkage. Hope that helped.
Too bad the unborn cannot speak to you about 'slippery slope' and victims. You might change your mind about the lack of 'linkage'.
Hope that helped...
