But I recognize the sincere argument, that you previously made, that a person can support state authority and also limited federal action without offending the 10th Amendment.
I made that argument?
You said:
I think I even brought up federal benefits to argue that the feds had to have some say over marriage, I forget the argument that you and/or Ferris used against me.
Not all states’ rights people are absolutist (I’m not).
You’re not?
You read right.
The fact I can recognize a sincere argument doesn’t mean I agree with it.
it seemed like you were agreeing with it.
DOMA did at least concern federal benefits that states don’t naturally have the authority over, so it wasn’t clearly a 10th Amendment violation.
The fact that a reasonable argument can be made and that I can recognize that doesn’t mean I agree with it.
