    Not sure what you are getting at, but I won't engage in a war of semantics. States have rights to "powers" as defined by the 10th amendment in The Bill of Rights.

    is denying a basic human right to a marriage of 3 adults, in love, as bigoted to deny the right of gay and interacial copules too? Or do you need the media to tell you this for a couple of years to make that statement?

    The Bill of Rights describes the rights of people and some minimal powers reserved to the states.

    Is the right to marry specifically listed in there?...if it is not, then it should fall within the powers of the state.

    gosh a ruddies
    1. The definition of a couple is two.
    2. There are many polygamists in the Bible. Some of them were God's favorite people (including Abraham, Jacob, Gideon, Solomon, and David). God didn't seem to mind.

    What does the bible have to do with this question? I'm asking you. Are you okay with this or are you a bigot too?

    Gosh a ruddies not according to the Supreme Court who defined it as a basic right which the states could not deprive people of based on the good old equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment as applied in the Loving decision nearly 50 years ago and reiterated by the Court on June 26th.

    and who can order them to grant a license based on the Supremacy Clause.

    So you and I should get the media on board to attack every group who isn't for polygamy marriage. Those bigots need to know better.

    Why does it take so long? Why do we need the media to tell us what is right and wrong if its a basic right?

    because of the power of hatred and bigotry to slow human progress.

    The supremacy clause only applies when CONGRESS has acted within its constitutional authority. Has congress acted on this?....hence the "somersaults" of controversy.

    Congress proposed the 14th Amendment that became part of our Constitution. That gave us all equal protection under the law. Marriage is a basic right that states were denying to interracial couples and gay couples. Now I realize you see it as some sort of somersault to allow interracial couples the right to marry but the court did not see it that way.

    MLK never talked about the gays. You have no idea where he would stand on the issue. You once again are making things up.

    the statement is applicable to any step forward in human rights.

    Shabazz is an anti-Semite and a racist. Basically the black version of a KKK member. Yet the hypocritical media never really mentions that.

    No, I don't.

    obviously you do, the court has rightfully declared marriage a basic right to its citizens, hardly a somersault.

    the long arc of history moves toward tolerance
    a Lincoln or a MLK or the Charleston 9 work move toward greater tolerance
    until white bigots end their individual progress in that direction
