The Federal Marriage Amendment and America’s Family Order: The Freedom For a Boy To Lay Down With Another Boy
Emergency powers must be given to the President of the United States to disband a little over half of the U.S. Senate for reasons of willful and egregious misdirection of America’s family order!
The time for feeble letter writing is over!
It seemed reasonable enough, a bit of long overdue wording to be tacked on to the United States Constitution:
“Marriage in the United States shall consist solely of the union of a man and a woman. Neither this Constitution, nor the constitution of any State, shall be construed to require that marriage or the legal incidents thereof be conferred upon any union other than the union of a man and a woman.“
However, the proper wording, to more fully prevent counterfeit unions, should have read somewhere along the lines of:
Section 1: Marriage in the United States, whether entered into within or outside of the United States, shall consist only of the legal union of one man and one woman. Every person has the right to marry a person of the opposite sex, subject to state laws based on age and consanguinity. Neither the United States nor any State, or subdivision thereof, shall confer any benefit, protection, right, or responsibility of marriage on unmarried couples, or groups.
Section 2: This article shall be self-executing, and citizens of the United States shall have standing to seek enforcement of this article in federal and state courts.
Section 3. Upon approval by Congress, this amendment shall be ratified if approved by convention in three-quarters of the states within a period not to exceed four years.
In any case, the Senate roll call on the failure to pass of the Federal Marriage Amendment cried out like a who’s who of “Girlie Men” (a term Governor Schwarzenegger characterized California politicians with).
As for “Nay” voting Republican and honored war veteran John McCain, tortured for significant time in a dank Vietnam dungeon—what freedoms had this man been fighting for? The freedom for a boy to lay down with another boy?
Further shaming us is noticing at the bottom of the roll call that the Democratic presidential candidates Kerry-Edwards did not vote on this crucial issue.
