Obama inconsistent on Gay Marriage and federalism??
Obama speaks with forked-tongue re federalism and gay marriage?
I thought equal protection concerned physical characteristics like gender, race, age and disability. Sexual preference seems a stretch of this provision's intent. Of course bigamist and pedophiles would disagree hoping for their day in court. Personally, I believe traditional marriage has proven its worth to societal norms. That said, allowing states to decide independently how to recognize marriage seems the safest method of experiment to altering the natural wedded family of one-man to one-woman.
