Nope, it's not circular logic. I've been arguing in favor of protecting equal protection in marriage for years. Obergefell merely confirmed what I have been saying and cemented the belief in stone with their ruling.I have repeatedly said why it's equal. No state can deny something to someone based on nothing but gender, race, creed, religion, to one person but grant it to another.You poor thing, now you're flat out lying. Of course I laid out a cohesive argument for why I believe Obergefell was correct.The Constitution demands everyone in the U.S., regardless of the laws passed in each individual state, be treated equally under the law.And all you offer is "fuh fuh fuh, the 5 of 9 unelected lawyers said so, fuh fuh fuh"
You offer no reason why a State can be forced to issue a SSM beyond "equal protection and an appeal to authority"
Choosing the gender of someone you wanted to marry was never even considered an option until recently. Marrying someone of another race has been considered an option fo millenia.
The concept is creating new law vs. interpreting established law with precedent.
Obergfell decided to create new law "just because". It's the jiggery pokery referenced by Scalia in his dissent.
Marriage is a fundamental right. No state can give a marriage license to one person but deny it to another based on nothing other than the gender of the person they wish to marry. Just like no state can deny a marriage license to someone based on the color of the skin of the person they with to marry ... or the religion of the person they wish to marry.
And that did not create a new law. It nullified an unconstitutional part of an existing law. It's no one else's fault that you remain bitter over Obergefell because you're too ignorant to comprehend any of this.
No, you just keep repeating "equal" without explaining WHY it's equal, which it isn't. It's an entirely new concept. Again, as NY did if a State wants to change its marriage contract via legislative action, go ahead. by forcing an idea that isn't even 3 decades old under the guise of equal is just plain crazy.
No state can tell one person they can legally marry the person they wish to be legally married to while deny someone else that very same right due to nothing but the gender of the person they wish to marry.
I won't explain that again. If you still can't comprehend that, it's on you.
Only because Obergfell, which means you are applying circular logic.
Again, all your "logic" is based on a horrible SC decision, which is what you use as proof that the SC decision is constitutional....
You have been arguing it not as your opinion but as something validated by Obergfell, and Obergfell validating your opinion.
My view is the SC overstepped its bounds, just like it did in Roe.
