text: Here;s an interesting point that no one has brought up yet involving this debate. It's called the 10th Amendment to the Constitution. Massachusetts has legalized gay marriage. For the government to write a law making gay marriage illegal, it would require an ammendment to the Constitution, because simply writing a law would violate the 10th amendment, states rights.\n\nI find it a bit hypocritical that, a year and a half ago, this man put his hand on the Holy Bible and swore to "protect and defend the Constitution of the United States", and now he's trying to re-write it.\n\nThe point is: Massachusetts, by taking the lead, made it an issue for individual states to decide, not the federal government.
