U.S. Sodomocracy Not Quite Legal Yet
"In 1996, President Clinton signed the Defense Of Marriage Act (DOMA) into Federal law stating that marriage was between a man and a woman. There was no Federal Law concerning marriage prior to that, so DOMA became THE Federal statute pertaining to marriage. The Supreme Court ruled in 2013 that PART of DOMA was unconstitutional and some states voted to allow same sex marriage. However, they were in conflict with the remaining articles of DOMA. The way Federal Laws work is that state law can be MORE restrictive but it cannot be less restrictive than Federal law. So, some states, who voted to recognize same sex marriage were in conflict with Federal Law. Which is the reason the Supreme Court heard the issue again this year. We all know their decision. But, what we apparently forgot is that since they can't make law, their decision to declare DOMA unconstitutional resulted in there being NO federal law concerning marriage. Which means, jurisdiction falls to the state. And what that means boys and girls is that Kim Davis IS NOT in violation of ANY law by refusing to issue marriage licenses after the SCOTUS ruling. In fact, if she had issued a license to a same sex couple, she would have been in violation of the state laws of Kentucky, which had voted no on the issue."
Amendment X
"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."
In striking down DOMA the Supreme Court, as an activist Court, did not make it a right in the states for homosexuals and lesbians to get married. According to the Tenth Amendment, when there is in effect no federal law on who can be issued a marriage license, then, unless Congress passes another law on marriage, the individual state laws on marriage apply in the states. We do not quite have a legal Sodomocracy - not as long as the Tenth Amendment has not been over-thrown. But we live in an age of deception and in a time when the masses of the people are dumbed down, and the elites can pretend we have a legal Sodomocracy. And for a candidate for President to assert that the right of homosexuals and lesbians to marry is the law of the land in 2015 could backfire on him or her.

There is no power in the U.S. Constitution given to the federal government to regulate marriage.
To make same sex marriage legal in the U.S. a constitutional amendment would have to be enacted., just as the federal government moved to pass the 18th or Prohibition Amendment in 1920, and should have passed another amendment to enable it, the federal government, to make possession, use and sale of certain substances punishable by prison time.
