Clause 2,
In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction. In all the other Cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make.

The United States Constitution - The U.S. Constitution Online - USConstitution.net

Looks like Judge Susan Bolton, Attorney General Eric Holder, and our illustrious Constitutional Scholar didn't read the Constitution…. Why am I not surprised?

Note..... same goes for California's Prop 8.

That seems to be the way that clause reads. It wouldn't surprise me one bit to find that that isn't the way it is read though.

See your own sig.
 
You don't understand it, so it's wrong? Interesting theory.

No, I was commenting on how well American's sig fits the analysis that you posted.

"Laws are made for men of ordinary understanding and should, therefore, be construed by the ordinary rules of common sense. Their meaning is not to be sought for in metaphysical subtleties which may make anything mean everything or nothing at pleasure." -- Thomas Jefferson יהוה

Apparently this is no longer so.
