GAY MARRIAGE AND FEDERALISM

Cliff's Notes of the Future Article

-gay marriage is an important issue, I believe gays should get married
-social issues are state issues, so says the Constitution
-social issues should be up to the voters
-a federal ban on/a federal law forcing gay marriage would be bad for federalism
-a resolution is needed that would sate both traditionalists and gay marriage advocates
