Doma

[The Man]

I typed a whole lot of shit that would have just put us off track, then deleted it.

Do you have any kind of support for that first sentence? Any at all??

What do you imagine "unconstitutional" means, if federal law doesn't have to follow the constitution?

You havent shown anything to be unconstitutional.

Lets try this again...the states have their laws in regard to marriage.

Marriage has been defined by the feds.

You tell me how is DOMA unconstitutional.

Is cash for clunkers unconstitutional?...as it was signed in in 2010
How about Haiti debt relief?
Which part of the constitution does it reference?

I looked this up out of curiosity..

From what I can find.. The following are examples of unconstitutional examples for the US..

• A politician who abuses or acts outside of the powers of his constitutionally-established office.

• A legislature that tries to pass a law that would contradict the constitution, without first going through the proper constitutional amendment process.

• Any person acting on behalf of the government who tries to prevent an individual from exercising individual rights which the constitution protects (such as the right to vote or to practice religion).

Much debate often surrounds controversial laws enacted by state legislatures and the United States Congress regarding the laws' constitutionality. There are different forms of constitutions. The United States Constitution is a "rigid constitution". Rigid constitutions cannot be modified in their express terms, except through such processes the constitution itself ordain.

Here is the fuss

Section 3. Definition of marriage
In determining the meaning of any Act of Congress, or of any ruling, regulation, or interpretation of the various administrative bureaus and agencies of the United States, the word 'marriage' means only a legal union between one man and one woman as husband and wife, and the word 'spouse' refers only to a person of the opposite sex who is a husband or a wife.



Which is why I have always been saying...the same sex couples just need to forget the word marriage ...then come in from a different angle with a different term asking for the same rights as marriage.

Hell make up one....run it through the public..it will pass
Solved

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defense_of_Marriage_Act

excerpt>

Section 3 of DOMA has been found unconstitutional in eight federal courts, including the First and Second Circuit Court of Appeals, on issues including bankruptcy, public employee benefits, estate taxes, and immigration.[SUP][n 1][/SUP] The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear an appeal in one of those cases, United States v. Windsor, with oral arguments expected in March 2013.

Since unconstitutionality of defining 'marriage' is already in the legal pipeline, Accountable's argument becomes compelling.

Whats unconstitutional about it.

 

[Stone]

Whats unconstitutional about it.

I don't intend to provide the various court decisions, only that they've been made and that gives compelling strength to Accountable's arguments.
As I posted before, yours was mostly sophistry.

So in others words you cant show how it is unconstitutional

In other words, I don't have to......eight federal courts, including the First and Second Circuit Court of Appeals did.......and in a debate...it would be up to you to prove otherwise.

Do you even know what the thread is about?

That made no sense.


It goes before the Supreme Court in March and that's where it will be finally decided constitutionally.

Whats unconstitutional about it?.

You can do the reading.....I'm not interested beyond numerous courts having ruled it unconstitutional
https://www.google.com/search?q=Def...a:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&channel=rcs

Do you even know what the thread is about?

Yes.....the constitutionality of The Defense of Marriage Act. .....generally, limiting the legal concept of marriage to one man and one woman.
Whether you agree or not to the morality of same sex marriage, the issue is whether the legislators can write that Act since the Constitution sets the boundaries of Federal Law.
Accountable's argument is compelling and as I noted, courts are seeing conflict.

I suspect the issue will become the domain of the States and that is occurring.

Much of what you've been posting is your own expressed confusion....with sophistry.

 

[Stone]

Marriage is also a privilege...as it has restrictions and benefits...Marriage isn't a right...thus not constitutionally protected.

.......................

Then by your logic, how could the Defense of Marriage Act be constitutional?

 

[Accountable]

Good post :thumbup

Yes, it is. Going by this post of yours, I'll assume you agree with it unless and until you state otherwise.

 

[Accountable]

You didn't address my post at all. I'll address yours; show me the same courtesy.



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You havent shown anything to be unconstitutional.

I have, but I'll assemble it all in one place for ya so you can see it more easily.

"The Congress shall have Power ... to make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof."




"This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof ... shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding."




"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."




http://www.usconstitution.net/const.html

I show this first because it is the foundation of my argument. True, I put it in a post that wasn't addressed specifically to you, so I'll show others that were.

What makes something unconstitutional is that it is not constitutional. Being unable to prove constitutionality proves unconstitutionality.

I agree that marriage is not a natural right, and as such is not protected by the Ninth Amendment, but without specific mention of marriage in the Constitution, restricting it violates the Tenth Amendment.


[...] It's [marriage] not covered by the Constitution, therefore not the jurisdiction of the federal gov't, per the Tenth Amendment.


DOMA clearly violates the Tenth Amendment. Conservative statism is still statism; it goes against the most basic tenets that formed our decentralized representative republic.

Now since you have already agreed that "A legislature that tries to pass a law that would contradict the constitution, without first going through the proper constitutional amendment process" is what defines an unconstitutional law, and DOMA clearly contradicts Article I Section 8 and the Tenth Amendment of the Constitution, then DOMA is clearly unconstitutional.


[cont'd]

 

[Accountable]

Lets try this again...the states have their laws in regard to marriage.

Yes, they do.

Marriage has been defined by the feds.

Yes, they have ... illegally.

You tell me how is DOMA unconstitutional.

Done, several times now.

Is cash for clunkers unconstitutional?...as it was signed in in 2010

Arguably falls under the Commerce Clause as creatively interpreted and re-defined. I think it was a horrible idea, but I'd have to research to give an opinion of its constitutionality.

How about Haiti debt relief?
Which part of the constitution does it reference?

Was it a treaty? Did the government do it or did they encourage the Fed to? That's a whole different thread. You start it and I'll join in.

LOL...it is knocked down more often ...thus why it is ongoing.

It's ongoing because it hasn't reached the SCOTUS yet.

 

[Accountable]

Now it's your turn TM. I've paid you the courtesy of addressing your questions with answers. I have not answered a question with a question, and I have not deflected.

Please pay me the same courtesy.

When I asked

If it is constitutional, it is linked to a specific provision in the Constitution. What is that provision?

You responded with a question, rather than addressing my question:

What is unconstitutional about marriage being defined?

Then later:

Then, as I explained, it must support some provision in the Constitution, or it's unconstitutional.


What provision does it support?

Your response was this baffling statement:

Federal laws are just that and dont have to reference the constitution.

I asked you to support that claim, and you deflected once again.
So now I ask you one last time, TM:

What provision in the US Constitution does the Defense of Marriage Act support?

 

[Stone]

That is one very compelling argument, Accountable.

Interesting logical read.
Thanks for posting it.

 

[The Man]

I think I understand where you are coming from ACC but dont think it applies...In others words DOMA doesnt have to be in relation to the constitution, In other words a law cant be unconstitutional ...but they pretty much make laws all the time..and if they are not constitutional then they dont fly....here is a partial list from the recent past...as we can see many of them are just laws.
DOMA is essentially just a definition of marriage.
If you start reading below we can ask the same question with number 2 for instance "December 9, 1991: High Performance Computing and Communication Act of 1991"
What provision is the constitution does it support...it doesn't..but that doesn't make it constitutional.
So my question to you is...what part of the constitution does doma violate and how.
Your argument is different than the standard argument...the standard argument is that it is discrimination....which almost holds water..but not quite.
