What the hell does the bible have to do with it, unless you were just looking for a way of posting your hate against another special interest group, those who read the bible..

Ahh, I see you indeed edited your posting, to prove my point.. Well done..
You don't have a point. You are just ranting off every single time you post something and you're spreading hate. I can't blame you though. You're clearly a bible reader. It's all blurry up there now. Unless you have another explanation for it.

Interesting how so many of them are obsessed with homosexuality, isn't it? One would think that they wouldn't want to talk so much about a subject that supposedly disgusts them.

Neither really cares about the Constitution.

The DOMA mentioned above is unconstitutional, I was merely stating that the proper way to pass something like that is a constitutional amendment. The merits of an amendment are a different topic.

Personally, I think wanting to marry is like wanting to go to prison. To do either is to surrender your sovereignty as an individual.
Your point is well taken. To those who are strict construct of the Const, it doesn't mention anything about weapons of mass destruction either. does that mean that thye should not be allowed? The Const does not mention a lot of things. Strict constr is an irrational way of interpreting the Law.

No, it's the only way of interpreting it in order to prevent tyranny. Once you create a precedent that the government may disobey the Constitution, there is no longer any control over the government. If you wish to change something pass an amendment.

That the constitution says nothing about a matter just means it is not for the federal government to deal with it.

I'm not sure how WMD's tie into the topic. If you're asking about Iraq, I was, and always have been against the idea of the United States playing world cop. The constitution, however, does give congress the power to declare war, unfortunately it was mum on the conditions over which they can exercise that power.
