"Gay marriage" will remain illegitimate, even if they pass a lawless "law"

Tom Hoefling

​Both Obergefell and the current "gay marriage" bill working its way through the Congress are illegitimate.

By every principle this country was founded upon, the court opinion and the proposed statute are lawless, and therefore null and void.

Not a single clause of the stated principles of our Constitution can be fulfilled when natural marriage, and the natural family, the way God created, defined, and instituted them, are overthrown. It's not possible.

When it comes to marriage, God has already decided. "What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder." So neither individuals, nor states, nor our national government, have any legitimate right to decide otherwise. All they have is DUTY. The absolute imperative DUTY to agree with nature, and nature's God, and through the laws, and the enforcement of those laws, to protect and preserve one man one woman marriage. You may have the POWER to distort what God intended, but all you're doing when you exercise that illegitimate power is codifying injustice, and destroying your own form of republican self-government, and obliterating the very basis for the American claim to liberty.

The natural moral law is an absolutely indestructible, immovable object, and no man, or collection of men, is an irresistible force. Attack it if you will, but know this beyond any shadow of doubt: You will only dash yourself, and those who are foolish enough to follow your example, to pieces.

William Blackstone:

"Good and wise men, in all ages...have supposed, that the deity, from the relations, we stand in, to himself and to each other, has constituted an eternal and immutable law, which is, indispensably, obligatory upon all mankind, prior to any human institution whatever...This is what is called the law of nature, which, being coeval with mankind, and dictated by God himself, is, of course superior in obligation to any other. It is binding over all the globe, in all countries at all times. No human laws are of any validity, if contrary to this; and such of them as are valid, derive all their authority, mediately or immediately, from this original."

Alexander Hamilton:

"Upon this law, depend the natural rights of mankind, the supreme being gave existence to man, together with the means of preserving and beautifying that existence. He endowed him with rational faculties, by the help of which, to discern and pursue such things, as were consistent with his duty and interest, and invested him with an inviolable right to personal liberty and personal safety."

"When human laws contradict or discountenance the means, which are necessary to preserve the essential rights of any society, they defeat the proper end of all laws, and so become null and void."
