Defeating Sodom on the Potomac
Christians need to realize that the only way to stem the threat of Federal overreach in the long term (such as in the Obama edict on Public School bathrooms) is NOT to
hope for the right President who will appoint the right justices to the SCOTUS. That thinking only perpetuates the MYTH that ANY of the co-equal branches of the Federal Government (including the Federal Judiciary) have ANY jurisdiction per the Constitution to dictate to the States on such matters that are NOT expressly mentioned in the Constitution.
Until the States realize they are States, nothing will change. We keep hoping one co-equal branch of the Federal Government will reign in the other. It will not happen.
Change will require replacing State Governments that always cave with ones that will defend their citizens against Federal overreach, no matter the cost.
But Christians remain completely ignorant as to the Constitution. Instead we make everything a "moral battle". Friends, we do NOT have a "moral" problem, we have a CONSTiTUTIONAL problem! Thirty eight States, most through referendum, voting against same sex "marriage". But then the SCOTUS dreamed up powers for itself that are not in the Constitution and overroad the will of the citizens of these republics (States). It is not a question of whether or not the SCOTUS ruled correctly. Rather it is a question of whether or not the SCOTUS has any right to even HEAR these cases!
We must remember the words penned by Thomas Jefferson in the Kentucky Resolution of 1798....
The Kentucky Resolutions of 1798
"1. Resolved, That the several States composing, the United States of America, are not united on the principle of unlimited submission to their general government; but that, by a compact under the style and title of a Constitution for the United States, and of amendments thereto, they constituted a general government for special purposes — delegated to that government certain definite powers, reserving, each State to itself, the residuary mass of right to their own self-government; and that whensoever the general government assumes undelegated powers, its acts are unauthoritative, void, and of no force: that to this compact each State acceded as a State, and is an integral part, its co-States forming, as to itself, the other party: that the government created by this compact was not made the exclusive or final judge of the extent of the powers delegated to itself; since that would have made its discretion, and not the Constitution, the measure of
its powers; but that, as in all other cases of compact among powers having no common judge, each party has an equal right to judge for itself, as well of infractions as of the mode and measure of redress."
Some will say, "But the feds will withhold funding!" All more evidence that it is high time for a revolt. Did the Founders intend for the States to launder their money to the Federal Government only to have to beg and comply with Un-constitutional edicts to get it back?
The time has come to look "Sodom on the Potomac" straight in the eye and say NO MORE. The States CREATED the Federal Government. It's time for the creators to subdue their creation, and bind it from mischief with the chains of the Constitution.
