Not gonna fly, but not unheard of the RNC to propose Constitutional Amendments. Even the ERA was proposed in 1940. We are still waiting. LOL

Where is THAT in the Constitution (?) the "legitimate constitutional authority to define marriage as the union of one man and one woman."

Pretty sure you are wrong.

That is what gives the fed the right to not allow an unconstitutional definition of marriage.

Seeing how it's not IN the Constitution granting the Federal Government the authority, it remains with the People and/or the States.

It defines where the unelected 5 came from tho. The Constitution is mute on marriage.

Hence, it is up to SCOTUS to sort it out for us. We don't have to agree with what they say, Lord knows I don't always, and we can work toward changing it, but until it is changed, it is the law of the land/against the law of the land.
