Reply #8: Applying the Full Faith and Credit Clause is NOT being "activist." [View All]

It's simply doing what judges are supposed to do. It's surely not making new law, which is by definition what being "activist" is! FF&C was written into the highest law of the land, over 200 years ago.

If you WANT a constitutional amendment, let it be an amendment to a STATE constitution. Marriage has no business being in the U.S. constitution. Otherwise, perhaps an amendment to the federal Civil Rights Act is more in order -- not dealing specifically with marriage, but with non-discrimination on the basis of sexual preference/orientation.
