Of course. The right to pursue happiness is identified as an inalienable right in the Declaration of Independence. The Constitution codifies the protection of our inalienable rights. If a right is infringed upon by the government, state or local, we reserve the right to seek redress from within our judicial system. I believe the current leading argument in the courts revolves primarily on the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment -- which specifically forbids the government from treating people unequally to deny them their inalienable rights.Even if that's true, it's the government's job to make same-sex marriage legal in all of the United States. Marrying the person you love and want to be legally bound to for life is a fundamental right; in accordance with the right to pursue happiness. And it's the government's job to secure our rights. Neither a person's gender nor the gender of the person they love has anything to do with it.Sorry, but you are incorrect. A marriage has always been defined historically, traditionally, and legally as a "contract between a man and a woman". The minority attempt to redefine it on equal rights grounds, now opens the further re-defining on those same equal rights grounds, because the definition is being turned into fiction, in order to expand the jurisdiction of the central government based on a fictional creation. You are too short sighted, and gullible.No, the next battle will be polygamy and incest marriage.That indeed would be equal....if the state drops legal marriage licenses for ALL. Now, I would very much like to see that become the next battleground for the RW.
But if it is a matter of equality, then all that is needed is one woman to use the 14 th to gain equality in her right to walk in public with her breast bared as do men legally walk in public without a shirt.
Red herring. Polygamists cannot challenge the laws on the same grounds because in order to marry another a divorce must be entered into. A marriage is civil contract between two people.
Incest? Why would you even imagine anything like that? You sound disturbed. Incestual relations are prohibited by an overriding state interest.
Why would a woman use the 14th for that argument? You sound more and more like a moron on this
The right to pursue happiness? Is that being argued in the Court?
