There was no flaw in my analogy. You were unable to dispute American law so you desperately pointed to another nation. We're in America. American laws are not "fluid". Nor is the U.S. Constitution. That is indisputable.We're not in Germany. Nice try. Would you like to try again? Some nations may very well have a "fluid" system of government (like the autobahn that you are trying to desperately use here). But we do not.That's the equivalent of saying "the speed limit is fluid" when you get pulled over for speeding. That's simply not true and the officer wouldn't accept it. Government is not "fluid". It is rigidly structured and restricted by rules and laws just like the rest of society. However, it can be altered through the amendment process.But then again government is fluid, changes with time, and changes with the will of the people, right? Or supposed to.
Then maybe you haven't been to Germany where the speed limit is fluid.
Of course the Constitution is fluid. Gay marriage is now constitutionally protected. It was in 1789, it was in 2010, but it is now.
And gay marriage isn't "Constitutional". All you're doing is proving how the Constitution is violated. So....again...would you like to try again? That's strike two.
I didn't say we were in Germany, and making such a point is rather ridiculous. You made an analogy, I showed the flaw in your analogy. Your response is to say "we're not in Germany" which is just a waste of time.
Gay marriage is protected by the constitution. Get over it.
I'm not having you tell me that it isn't constitutional. The US Supreme Court decided. You can ignore this all you like, but it's still the reality.
Furthermore, gay marriage (nor any marriage for that matter) is not protected by the U.S. Constitution. If it is - please tell me the article and section. No? Yeah - didn't think so.
The Supreme Court is not the U.S. Constitution (and I really shouldn't have to explain something so basic to you). The Supreme Court is part of the judicial branch and is made up of 9 human beings. The Constitution is a document and the law.
I'm not interested in silly arguments about whether you think I thought this or that.
Gay marriage is protected
Go look at Obergefell v. Hodges.
Both the Due process clause and Equal protection clause protect gay marriage.
That would be the 5th Amendment and 14th Amendment, just in case you want to look it up.
The Supreme Court isn't the US Constitution, however they are the body which interprets the US Constitution.
Law is human made and is interpreted by humans.
