On North Carolina attempting to pass a law barring same-sex marriage

Michael C:
These elected officials either have no understanding of our system of government or they're relying on the fact that their constituents don't.

They're either wasting North Carolinian's hard earned money because they don't know how to do their jobs or they're wasting North Carolinian's hard earned money because they think they the people of North Carolina are ignorant.

Is wasting tax payers hard earned money acceptable if all you're doing is stomping your feet and banging your fists against the ground?

Jason Todd:
What is the basis for your argument?

Michael C:
A state legislature is not granted the power to nullify the parts of the U.S. Constitution that they don't like.

Any attempt to do so is an obvious waste of time and taxpayers' hard earned money.

So, are they wasting time and money because they're ignorant of how our system of government works or are they wasting time and money because they think their constituents are ignorant of how our system of government works?

Jason Todd:
Marriage isn't in the Constitution, which you bloody well know. That makes it a state issue, as per the 10th Amendment.

You need to stop being intellectually dishonest. But then again, the facts aren't on your side, are they?

Michael C:
Marriage is not specifically outlined in the Constitution, correct. How is it, then, that state laws that prohibit interracial marriage are in violation of the Constitution?

Jason Todd:
What does skin color have to do with sexual behavior?

Michael C:
Nothing that I've intimated.

...does that mean you're not going to address the simple question?

How is it that state laws prohibiting interracial marriage are in violation of the Constitution even though the Constitution doesn't even mention marriage??

Jason Todd:
The answer is it's irrelevant. Homosexuals like to equate the two to make some kind of argument, but the fact is it's the same as comparing a potato chip to a fire hydrant. It's nonsensical and won't be entertained.

Michael C:
No. You're just refusing to answer the question.

You're claiming that because the U.S. Constitution doesn't explicitly mention marriage, it's solely a state issue. You're refusing to respond to my relevant questions because you're wrong and you know it.

Thank you for this thoroughly useless conversation.
