==DOMA and Prop 8==

Quick FYI.  by law, in a FEDERAL government like ours, the definition of marriage is for the states to do, as it should be.  Some states allow girls to marry at 14, others at 16, and others at 18.  some states have the same ages for boys to marry as for girls.  Still other states they are different ages.  As a conservative, it's important to me that the Federal government does not overstep its authority to regulate things and become "big government". (this comment, by the way, has nothing to do with the prop 8 election which is exactly where this issue belongs.  in the hands of the '''voters''' of each state! (ie, not the COURTs which like to step in)--[[User:JeanJacques|JeanJacques]] 15:39, 23 October 2008 (EDT)
