You have agreed. You should apologize to Rand Paul.

If not for the states here, we'd be waiting at least a generation for marriage equality.

I've come to like marriage equality. If the states give it to us faster than the feds, bless 'em.

Except for the 30 so that have banned it. But, if you too agree that it is a states rights issue, you also owe an apology to Rand and should agree that basically every piece of civil rights legislation is unconstitutional. This is a banner day for the 9th and 10th Amendment here on Lawtalkers.
