WHY DO WE EVEN HAVE A JUDICIAL BRANCH!?

A Republican lawmaker is trying to keep federal courts from hearing same-sex marriage cases.

Less than a week before the Supreme Court plans to hear arguments in potentially one of the nation’s most influential cases on gay marriage, Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) introduced the Restrain the Judges on Marriage Act of 2015 to preserve state bans.

“For too long, federal courts have overstepped their constitutionally limited duty to interpret the Constitution.” King said in a news release. “Rather, federal courts have perverted the Constitution to make law and create constitutional rights to things such as privacy, birth control, and abortion. These Unenumerated, so-called constitutionally-protected rights were not envisioned by our Founding Fathers.”

King’s bill strips way Article III of the Constitution, which gives federal courts the jurisdiction to hear or decide any question pertaining to the interpretation of, or the validity under the Constitution of, any type of marriage. The bill also prohibits federal funds from being used for any litigation in, or enforcement of any order or judgment by, any federal court.

King said his bill would stop the courts from “destroying traditional marriage.”

This isn't a bill...this an amendment and should be treated as such.  But I guess the current crop of dumbasses haven't even heard of the amendment process and will just put forth any old law they can because they think it'll pass both Constitutional muster and the President's desk.
 
Look we get it.  Someone paid you a hell of a lot of money to put this bill into circulation.  We get it.  But you've lost on this issue.  Move on to the next.
 
Ironbite-you know transgender rights which you'll lose on as well.

Because I don't feel like repeating myself. Though I'm tickled that he thinks we don't really have a right to privacy. Pretty sure the 4th Amendment would disagree with him.

I'm starting to wonder if these people even have read the fucking constitution or have taken even a cursory civics class? This kind of dumbfuckery is almost too much.

Jesus Christ, what a dumbfuck.

I doubt it's that this guy is a dumbfuck so much as he thinks his voter base are a bunch of dumbfucks. Which, in all honesty, is probably true.

You know, sometimes it's OK to lose if it's the right fight. For example, if you're a congressman from a very conservative district. You don't have to win as much as be seen fighting.
