Marriage is not a state issue.
So what federal law defines marriage? And where in the constitution is the federal government given power to regulate marriage licenses?
Seems that the supreme court is part of the federal government, it pretty much defined the right to marry and states can't overrule the decision.
So then Citizens United is OK to you? Hobby Lobby is OK to you? Cases closed right?
No they aren't OK. But state rights are secondary to that of the federal government.
Interesting.
Then why the 10th Amendment, and its impeccably clear language?
The tenth amendment does not grant states supremacy, it details the chain of command so to speak, Federal law is the supreme law of the land. That is crystal clear.
