I'm going to back away and do some homework on this... I've bookmarked the following to read tonight as a starting point. http://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/amendmentxiv I'll be down some research bunny trails for a couple of days. And as of this morning, the State's top law dog is going to file an "Amicus Brief" and vows to take it to the Supreme Court... which I can't tell if it's a political or legal move.

Sorry, but it's consistent (and does not conflict) with the 10th Amendment. The 10th reserves to the states that which is not delegated to the federal government, or prohibited to the states, by the Constitution. The 14th Amendment prohibits any state from depriving any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. The 10th is thus satisfied in this case. As for the notion that majority rule trumps the Constitution: Shirley, you jest. Do I really need to lay out the long version of the rebuttal to that? Nope. And, I was aware the good Professor would counter-punch with the "slavery" jab. So, here we go... As a legal and constitutional question, do gays and lesbians have a right to marry under the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment? Equal Protection under the Fourteenth Amendment Marriage is a civil (as well as religious) institution; married couples benefit from more than 1000 benefits under federal law Supporters of gay marriage argue that equal protection requires equal access to civil benefits of marriage Opponents of gay marriage argue that there is a legitimate rational basis for limiting marriage to heterosexual couples Currently legal classifications based on sexual orientation are subjected only to the rational basis test, not to strict scrutiny On the surface, the answer might seem simple (to advocates of gay marriage, at least). Marriage is, after all, a civil as well as a religious institution. People enter marriage by obtaining a license from local authorities and—in about half of all marriages these days—they later end it by securing a divorce decree from a local civil court. In between, the United States Government Accounting Office has identified more than a thousand federal benefits and responsibilities (such as homebuyer programs and educational assistance) affected by marital status. In other words, there are thousands of laws touching upon marriage and, consequently, the Fourteenth Amendment's guarantee of equal protection under the laws suggests—to some—that all people, regardless of sexual orientation, should be protected in their right to marry. But as a question of constitutional law, it's not quite that easy. For starters, the Supreme Court has made it clear that the guarantee of equal treatment within the equal protection clause does not mean that governments cannot ever treat different people differently. States need not permit children to drive cars, for example, nor must they allow senior citizens to enroll in grammar school. As a basic rule, the Court has said that it is reasonable for states to build categories or classifications into the laws that they pass, and in fact, the "rational basis test" is one of the standards used by the courts to determine whether these classifications are fair. Also known as the Lindsley test, this standard says that if the reasons for treating people differently are reasonable and logically related to the law's purpose, then they are constitutional. Opponents of gay marriage insist that there is a rational basis (usually, they argue, rooted in cultural or religious tradition) for restricting marriage to a relationship between a man and a woman. But the Court has also held that certain types of laws need to pass a tougher standard than the Lindsley test; certain types of classifications within the law are more suspicious and require closer scrutiny. In particular, the Court has said that America's history of racial oppression requires that all laws employing racial classifications must be more rigorously examined by the courts. Consequently, it is far less likely that these sorts of laws will survive judicial scrutiny. On occasion, the Court has also applied this heightened level of scrutiny to state laws using classifications based not only on race but also on citizenship. And in recent decades, the Court has developed an intermediate standard for evaluating laws employing gender classifications. Statutes that treat men and women differently must be more than merely reasonable, they "must serve important governmental objectives," and the differing treatments of men and women "must be substantially related to achievement of those objectives."40 In terms of gay marriage, the critical issue thus becomes the level of scrutiny that laws affecting gays and lesbians should receive. Are gays, like racial minorities, considered a "suspect" class in terms of constitutional law? Does the court rigorously scrutinize laws impacting them? Or do laws that create classifications based on sexual orientation receive a lesser degree of vigilance, like those based on age? Should the courts then apply the lowest level of scrutiny, the rational basis test? Or do they impose an intermediate standard like the one used to examine laws incorporating gender classifications? SOURCE: http://www.shmoop.com/equal-protection/same-sex-marriage.html Now let's hear from a gay man in a same sex marriage: You will, however, find the 10th Amendment, which reads as follows: "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." Marriage is not commerce, war, or taxation. It is unrelated to money, the post office, the patent system, or any of the other enumerated powers of the federal government. Its regulation is neither necessary nor proper in pursuit of those powers... At the drafting of the Constitution, the states all had marriage laws of one kind or another. There were wide disparities among them, both then and now, and such disparities have existed at all times in between. The founders had no desire to settle such matters, and they did not wish a future Congress to do so either. The Constitution they wrote left only two choices: Either allow the states to regulate marriage (with, perhaps, federal consequences to follow)—or else return marriage to the people, to individuals, families, churches, and communities. Either approach would be consistent with the Constitution. The Defense of Marriage Act, however, is not. SOURCE: http://www.usnews.com/debate-club/should-same-sex-marriage-be-left-to-the-states/marriage-should-not-be-regulated-by-the-federal-government Now for my own opinion. The reasons for the Federal Government not be involved in same sex marriages are the same ones that have prevented them from intruding on State gun laws. Gay Marriage, Guns and Marijuana are fragmenting the US. And, I do hope that you gentlemen will as vehemently defend my right to marry 4 or 5 women. I haven't decided on a number yet.

I dread each year's silly season (from T-day to New Years Day). I don't know if its just an enhanced perception of regular problems during a time of chaos or if its just more problems when you don't need them. I had three funerals over that period this past year and Mom gave me quite a scare and on New Year's day woke up with the flu. While not as magnanimous as what you're going through; each new problem around the corner can wear on a person. Each person's situation is different and their ability to handle them unique. I'll just share this with you. I used to dread the almighty 12 mile rucksack marches. But, what I learned on those was two things... 1) take it one step at a time, and 2) remember the feeling of accomplishment of not falling out from the last torture test. All I can suggest is that you eat one peanut from the bowl at a time. If you try to eat the whole thing at once; the only thing you'll do is make yourself sick. It sounds like you have specific benchmarks of measurement. One at a time. Prioritize from important/urgent to not important/not urgent. Then chip away at them. Take the great grand kids mother issue first and work your way down to the shower. Pick a date in the future and tell yourself that this will be better by (i.e., February 1) I don't know if this helps or if you're in a mental vortex of shit right now... but the best recommendation i can give you is to avoid the alcohol. It doesn't help with your problems and will steal your drive. Best of luck and one chant I tell myself on such occasions... the only real big problem is finding yourself at 1000', smoking at 120 MPH towards the planet and nothing over your head.
