You might want to read the Equal Protection Clause in the 14th
Amendment, among other documents.
It is interesting that the left is not willing to extend the full
faith and credit of concealed carry rights across state lines.
Oh? Is there a federal regulation that allows concealed carry rights
across state lines?
Is there a federal regulation on marriage?
Not since DOMA was tossed.
Next?
Specious.
Until you cite the federal law that even acknowledges gay marriage,
you have no ground to stand on.
The 14th amendment and the full faith and credit clause are saying any
state law should be honored in all states.
All the SCOTUS has done is say a law banning gay marriage is invalid,
they have not written the new law.
By striking down laws against gay marriage, the Supreme Court has
expanded the interpretation of existing law. That's what the high court
does...it interprets, it affirms, it strikes down.
In Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, the high court overturned
Plessy v. Ferguson and struck down the concept of "separate but equal."
It didn't write a new law.
You righties seem to overlook the indisputable fact that the Kentucky
clerk was using her governmental office and thus the government to push
her religious beliefs.
Only because that is how she framed it.
It would have been a lot smarter to simply cite the law in Kentucky
and when that law was struck down she can easily say that without
guidance from the legislature, she has no authority to issue any
marriage licenses.
The SCOTUS nor the federal government can write Kentucky law, they can
only invalidate the existing one.
