Rule 11 ftw :2wave:
I seen nothing in there that showed any proof of any illegal activity to pass that law other than a claim by NYCF.
Of course the fact that it is or may be taken to court does not necessarily mean that it is illegal. It is just under review to see if it is/was passed illegally.
Not really if those arguements are used in the court room.
I don't see the federal goverment passing the law in NY...I did notice that the state government did....In anycase you are wrong here. The 10th Amendment is about powers. Not rights. However the 9th Amendment does pertain to rights. Read the difference...
Amendment 9 - Construction of Constitution. Ratified 12/15/1791.
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
Amendment 10 - Powers of the States and People. Ratified 12/15/1791. Note
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
Protecting rights is the responsibility of the federal government. Be it a right enumerated within the Constitution or not.
Prove that they did not pass the law legitimately please.
Rule 11 ftw :2wave:
So you're great at ignoring things that prove you wrong....gotcha. Good to know.
Terrible argument.
Either I live a Christian lifestyle and you have just insulted me or dont and would not care.
I do in fact live my life by principles of a Christian lifestyle. I just disapprove of hypocrits who claim to love God but have so much hate in their hearts.
They bible and God dont hate gays. Men with weak minds use the bible to hate gays.
LOL you think Wiki is "solid proof" :lol:

That's nuthin'!
Now watch me ignore you.
Look, child! You do not skim a few articles and dimsiss them because you don't like the sources. You examine them and debunk the argument. That's how adults do it!
Perhaps you would be more at home here!
And exactly who in the country-fried-hell are you to lecture me about me an American when you don't even know what in the hell you're talking about.
Grow-up, Scooter!
I recently read an article about a guy who was riding his motorcycle in a parade to protest helmet laws; he crashed during that parade and died from a head wound that could have been prevented by wearing a helmet.
That is now the second most tragically ironic thing that I've read.
LOL you think Wiki is "solid proof" :lol:
I guess sarcasm isn't clear without a smilie of some kind
The dirty little secret is: everyone does. Everyone's a troll. Some just can't look themselves in the mirror.
How's that one part of that Allanis Morrisette song go?
I'm a little bit of everything all rolled into one
I'm a bitch I'm a lover
I'm a child I'm a mother
I'm a sinner I'm a saint
I do not feel ashamed
I'm your hell I'm your dream
I'm nothing in between
I was just starting to respect you... and you go and do THIS!
What? It was meant to show that everyone has a little bit of everything in them. Basically I as agreeing with what Jerry said in that one post.
I think he's referring to the fact that you have memorized the lyrics to an Alanis Morrisette song.
But I could be wrong.

Sarcasm. What sangha said... Allanis Morrisette? :lol:
I don't know much about the woman. I just like some of her songs. Most of the time I have to actually look up a song just to find out the name of who sang it. lol
It's nothing a simply Wiki can't tell you, so stop being so ****ing lazy:
Same-sex marriage in New York - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lawsuits are pending because the rules were broken to pass the bill. The law is illegitimate, regardless of whether one supports ssm or not.
All this talk of natural rights and what marriage has always been etc is fine academically, but irrelevant to this piece of legislation.
Yes, I personally oppose SSM, but overriding that opinion is the reality that marriage is a State issue as per the 10th Amendment as it's not 'specifically enumerated' in the Constitution. IMO if NY wants to allow SSM, that's their business. Marriage is a state issue, what they do in their house, is in their house. I wasn't planning on moving back to NY anyway, for unrelated reasons.
However, whatever NY decides to do regarding SSM, it needs to do legitimately. In this case, it did not, and that's the problem.
You willfully ignore scripture. You may as well ignore scripture about fornication and adultery.
