SCotUS Decision on Same-Sex Marriage is Bizarre!

___Even if the Justices supported same-sex marriage, to extend it to ALL states is bizarre. May a prostitute from Nevada - where prostitution is legal - practice her/his trade in a state where prostitution is illegal? What is the difference in the sin of sodomy being legalized and the sin of prostitution being legalized? What about marijuana use and sales? Will the states that currently prohibit this be forced to allow use and sales by people from states where this is legal?

___To make this decision the five Justices appealed to the 14th Amendment while ignoring the 10th Amendment. This is bizarre since the 10th was a part of the original Bill of Rights and the 14th was ratified in 1868 to protect the rights of freed slaves! Note that the 14th is a favorite of "legislators from the bench" for birthright citizenship, legalizing abortion, overturning the vote of Florida, etc. Two of the five Justices had performed same-sex marriages and should have recused themselves.

___In the 1800s, Wisconsin refused to honor the illegal Dred Scott (blacks are not human) decision. Current-day legal authorities should follow this precedent!

Enforce the Laws or Be Tried as an Accessory!

___The California case involved 32 year old Kathryn Steinle, who was walking with her father on a pier in the “sanctuary city” of San Francisco. An illegal immigrant who had been deported five times prior killed her. The Texas case involved an illegal immigrant who had been deported four times prior. Police say the man admitted to murdering his wife with a hammer.

___The legal authorities responsible for these tragedies should be arrested and tried as accessories to murder. There must be penalties for allowing crimes to be committed. It is called a rule of law. Otherwise we are no different from a third-world country.

___This includes automatically giving "citizenship" to babies born in the United States. The much abused 14th Amendment has a second condition: subject to the jurisdiction thereof. Babies could get "conditional citizenship" until it becomes evident that they are not subject to the Constitution. At that point, they should be stripped of their birthright citizenship and deported. Citizenship should always be a privilege.

___San Francisco is directly violating federal law, as are all of the other sanctuary cities. Under Section 642 of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (8 U.S.C. §1373), it is a violation of federal law for any state or local government to “prohibit, or in any way restrict” law enforcement or other government officials from sending or receiving information from the federal government on the “citizenship or immigration status, lawful or unlawful, of any individual.”

___Three murders (Tony Bologna and his two teenage sons) occurred in 2008. The Mayor and City Council of San Francisco are accessories. The Steinle and Bologna families need to bring a civil suit against them regardless of an criminal action. A multimillion dollar judgement against city officials might get their attention!
