Oh, yes.... and 'gay marriage' must be outlawed, never mind that the Supreme Court has ruled upon that.
Well, you have to remember that some people consider the Constitution to be a broad suggestion, that anything written there can be overwritten by a five of nine vote of the Supreme Court. There isn't actually anything said in the Constitution about marriage rights or legislating against sodomy. If you look at common law precedent set during the colonial era, which the court is supposed to do when inventing new rights, you can find a lot more law banning sodomy than rights to marry who you want to marry.
If you believe in a 'living constitution', that five old men can rewrite the Constitution at whim, marriage rights is being sustained only by the tradition that one doesn't revisit cases until some time has passed.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
