Quote the post, you dumb ****.
If you can't understand things, that's on you. No one else. Just you.

You never specifically said it was legal. OK, wow, you win??? You still haven't made a point. Unless your point was, "something happened 150 years ago that has exactly zero bearing on anything we are talking about today. So there."
Yeah, that's how I recalled it. You ran with something you made up in your tiny little head.
My point was, and still is, just because a state does something, the Feds don't have to recognize it.
Put 1 and 1 together, you ******* rocket surgeon.
But they do.
If the states have the constitutional authority to do something and the Feds don't, the Feds have to go along with it. That applies to marriage.
Which is why DOMA gets tossed next week.
If states have the right to define marriage, why is Prop 8 being challenged?
Hasn't the State of California defined marriage as "one man / one woman"?
How can you defend state's right's to define marriage as they see fit, but at the same time, say "except for California"?
Isn't that hypocritical?
