Funny how these far-right wingnuts claim to be "defending the Constitution" from "anti-American socialist progressives", yet ignore the Constitution when it conflicts with their personal beliefs.  And obviously, they are so adamant about "states' rights" that they believe states should have the "right" to violate the Constitution. 

Yes, I disagreed with the SC's decision on gay marriage, but it's the law of the land, and trying to undo it is pointless.  Gay marriage is irreversible because now its supporters can legitimately claim that doing so would take away the constitutional rights of homosexuals.  And in all honesty, anyone who knows and understands the history of constitutional law in the US should have seen it coming 10 or 20 years ago.  It's time that my fellow supporters of traditional marriage concede defeat and move on.

I'm sorry, but "strict constructionist" is a logical fallacy. Basically it boils down to one of two things: the Tenth Amendment invalidates the entire constitution and there is no government at all, or it means that the constitution is no longer in force and our government is based on the Republican Party platform.
More like the 10th Amendment invalidates the entire federal law.  But otherwise, completely right.
