You are like people who take one verse in the Bible out of context like "judge not". Are you familiar with the original intent of this amendment? It is saying that the State governments can't seize anything, execute someone, or imprison anyone without having tried them and found them guilty, and that in a court of law everyone must be treated equally. It has nothing to do with marriage.

This amendment did not even give negro men the right to vote. By your interpretation it should have. But it didn't. The 15th Amendment had to added for negro men to vote.

By your thinking this amendment should have given women the right to vote, but it didn't. The 19th amendment had to added to do that.


But hey you'd make a great SCOTUS Justice! They interpret the Constitution like you do, ignoring the original intent of its framers.

Obama's Solicitor General admitted to the SCOTUS and on talk shows very lately that tax exemption religious institutions will become an issue over gay marriage. Where have you been?

They didnt need an amendment to allow interracial marriage. You really want to go back to our bigoted past and require constitutional amendments for civil rights issues? Land of the free my rear end.
