Greg Abbott v. the Constitution of the United States

By Ash Bell, January 26, 2009, 9:35am, Qmmunity

With regard to the recent uproar over Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott's refusal to grant a divorce to a Dallas couple who was married in Massachusetts, I present the following for consideration:

Greg Abbott:

"To prevent other states from imposing their values on this state, Texas voters overwhelmingly approved a Constitutional amendment specifically defining marriage as a union of one man and one woman.
"Because the parties' Massachusetts-issued arrangement is not a marriage under Texas law, they are asking a Texas court to recognise – and dissolve – something that does not legally exist."

vs.

The Constitution:

"Full Faith and Credit shall be given in each State to the public Acts, Records, and judicial Proceedings of every other State. And the Congress may by general Laws prescribe the Manner in which such Acts, Records and Proceedings shall be proved, and the Effect thereof."
