Did the men who wrote the constitution advocate for homo marriage and polygamy?

The constitution now functions almost solely as a means to establish and solidify prog gains. The people don't want something so some prog with a government job deems it unconstitutional and then we go bomb some shitty country for democracy.

I do not see a Federal ruling which upholds the religious freedom of a Mormon custom which the Federal government suppressed over 100 years ago as "prog."

It is. The norm in America and elsewhere in the Western world has been 1 woman and 1 man building families. The progs are at war with this, not for any coherent ideological reason, but b/c the people that progs hate really like 1 man 1 woman.

Had it been a state judge, I'd think "Utah of all places" would be appropriate. As it is, federal judges haven't been exactly absent in striking down laws against SSM.



So, federal judges do not in any way reflect the culture and values of the states in which they preside?


Depends on where the particular judge is from, I guess. But that's neither here nor there as the "culture and values" on which he will base his decision is on the federal law, most notably the federal constitution.

I assume it's just a coincidence, then, that none of these pro-SSM rulings have been handed down in the Bible Belt?


Takes time, I suppose. As marriage is supposed to be an issue for the states to regulate, I'd think it'd have to run through the state courts first before going to the feds. But I might be wrong.
