Or, perhaps, you don't understand us, or Martin Luther King, Jr.

Just a thought.

I understand and agree with the quote, but it seems somewhat ironic for you to have it on your site. Allow me to elaborate.

You call yourselves constitutionalists, and yet you seek to create an ammendment to ban gay marriage.

You support freedom of religion, but oppose the lack thereof. Freedom of religion as it is granted in the constitution also protects people who are not religious from having to follow laws that are.

I'm not sure what that last anonymous post means, exactly. But, in any case, to address your point, Thomas, you seem to forget that MLK, Jr. was a Baptist preacher, and notwithstanding anything else that went on politically, the basis for his message, and the reason it carried moral weight and power, was that it was fundamentally a moral message. So, I'm thinking you don't have the kind of understanding that he had of the basis of law, which is a foundation in moral natural law and natural rights.

Rather interesting of the poster to disagree that someone is a Constitutionalist when they merely seek to amend the Constitution. It seems to me that the poster is merely confused because he disagrees with the change being proposed. That does not make the person wanting the change any less a supporter of the Constitution. For those who are unfamiliar with the Constitution it gets changed via a hard process requiring a lot of difficult steps. If it does get done it usually means that the reasons for the change were acceptable to a large portion of the US population. That is why we live under a Constitutional Republic, not a pure Democracy as some falsely claim. A pure Democracy can be very tyrantical since you are always at the mercy of the mob. Rather scary when you listen to what the mob sometimes wants.
