This violated the Full Faith and Credit Clause found in Article IV, Section 1 of the US Constitution. Dr. Paul, you disappoint me with your support of this law which violated the Constitution.

Here’s a better idea: Let’s not require people to ask the government permission to marry (straight, gay , or other). Nobody should ever for any reason have to ask the government permission (in the form of a license) to marry and pay (and in some states wait or be denied) for said license. These licenses have been used to deny interracial couples, those with “bad” genes, and disabilities the right to marry.

The government should not be involved in anybody’s marriage, straight or gay. Make marriage a private contract between the couple and God if they desire a God to be in the contract. Christian marriage will still be only 1 man and 1 woman. Noting changes.

Nothing that you get a license for is a right. The definition of a license implies that the activity is a privilege subject to the government’s jurisdiction.

Hah! This is the most ridiculous bill ever… don’t they teach Republicans how to read the Constitution? Congress cannot determine or change the jurisdiction of the federal judicial system because as an independent branch of government (checks & balances people…) the Judiciary obtains its power and jurisdiction via the Constitution, same as Congress does.
