Quote:That Tillis is an idiot asshole goes without saying.
Right and this is not always the ideal mechanism for in-depth discussions but this: It would seem that he regards the matter as something for individual states to decide, and if a state decides in favor of gay marriage, the federal government should recognize that decision by the state. is the essence of the state's rights argument.
And it was settled case law in 1996 but the christo-repulblicunts think they can just hold their breath until they turn blue like spoiled children and they will get what they want. As for Tillis? No. It is not a matter of the feds recognizing state "policies." That's bullshit. So, if one of those veterans he pretends to care so much about wants to move to or from another state they must first check out whether or not they are to be given full citizenship? That is not what the 14th Amendment is all about. He can blabber all he wants about his justifications but he is simply wrong legally.
