Same-Sex Marriages and Amendments thereof

The propositions are split in what looks like three separate paths, (1 The protection of “Traditional Marriage” by the Federal Government, (2 The protection of constitution itself by not allowing any stricturing amendments that might hinder the social-growth of the American People and Democracy itself, 3) The outright banning of “activist” judicial involvement for appropriation of new civil liberties and rights whether state or Federal.

In a time of war Congress is said to have no power, this filters through the judicial system and in short the people are the ones who have no power in a time of war. It is not fear alone that constrains us, but the strategic devices of the state that are built for the continued stratification of and distancing of the people and Nation State.

This is why right now is such an important time to continue to allow the elasticity of the constitution to pave a way for a more liberal and freeing people. I understand the want for protection of the “traditional Marriage”, yet it speaks of constricting gestures in the future, and forces the economic strategy of making those who are different “pay”. That is civil unions may continue to flourish, but the state legislature impeded by the federal definition will more likely to restrict those unions for lack of any constitutional basis. That is: why allow same-sex marriages if they belie no benefit other than a title (sexual union is a Joke, especially in most parts of Texas where anything from fellatio to anal-sex is prohibited).

The right for activist judges to include there view within the judicial branch I think is fitting. If George Bush may use his own views to stand on the side of “a man and a woman”, then surely the people may be empowered by that Federal governing body closest to them, the judiciary. Likewise those judges are subject to higher public standards due to the immediacy of their position within the States.

I ask use to stop and think, to stand there and do nothing, take a moment and Allow the thought of revolution to creep into you mind. Do we really wish to remove more power from the judicial branch and transfer it to the president and his military state. The senate is truly torn for most see the balance swinging and cry for the release of the constitution by smudged hands, and the re-appropriation of civil liberties, here the civil union traditional or non, for the inherent freedom of choosing and choices.
