NOM Responds to VA Marriage Ruling
The Christian right is furious over a federal judge striking down Virginia’s ban on same-sex marriage and offering the usual list of terrible arguments about it. Brian Brown of the National Organization of Marriage gets almost everything wrong in this response.
“This is another example of an Obama-appointed judge twisting the constitution and the rule of law to impose her own views of marriage in defiance of the people of Virginia. There is no right to same-sex ‘marriage’ in the United States constitution.
There’s no right to marriage at all in the constitution if you think enumerated rights are the only ones that exist (which he doesn’t, of course, but he’ll pretend to when he doesn’t like the unenumerated right being upheld). So by his reasoning, the federal government could ban marriage, right?
