Applying conditions and not dealing in absolutes does not make one wishy washy. It's a convenient way for you to imply that I am making an arbitrary distinction, but I have been clear in all of my posts that the rights of citizens is what's important.

Quote:45% of the Supreme Court, including the Chief Justice,  doesn't believe a Federal Mandate of SSM is constitutional.

45% of the Supreme Court does not believe that gay marriage bans are a violation of the 14th amendment. There's no federal mandate on same sex marriage.

That aside, 45% of all voters in 2008, including the current President, didn't believe Barack Obama should be President. That doesn't mean he wasn't President once inaugurated.

You're not.
