Your editorial on July 15 about the Federal Marriage Amendment (FMA) has the right desire to stop same-sex “marriage.”
We need to stop same-sex “marriage,” but your position on the Federal Marriage Amendment is wrong as follows:
The federal courts are out of control and have to be controlled to their limits in the Constitution. The Constitution says the federal courts can only do certain things and all others are left to the states and to the people.
A federal judge will now overturn the Federal Marriage Amendment if it is passed anyway.
The federal court has no legal right to discuss marriage today. If the FMA is passed and made into law, then the federal government will soon be telling us how to word the marriage vows.
Let’s work to keep the federal government of this issue an limit their reach.
