I am getting the impression that you do not understand what I was trying to do. I was merely trying to explain something to Nope that she seemed to not understand. I was not trying to justify the idiot's opinion or even to say that it was consistent with the Constitution or federal laws. I was just trying to explain how one could have a self-consistent opinion and vote as Thom Tillis voted on the two issues referenced by Nope in her post. That Tillis is an idiot asshole goes without saying.
And I am quite happy about the recent Supreme Court ruling on gay marriage. The federal government now needs to enforce this, making the states follow the law. With force if necessary, just like with desegregation about half a century ago, when not every state voluntarily followed federal law. Frankly, I would be happy to see state governors and legislators thrown in jail for not following federal laws on this, if they obstruct it.
