Constitutional law book for css

Same-sex marriage presents a highly emotional and important question of public policy — but not a difficult question of constitutional law

The Constitution does not guarantee the right to enter into a same-sex marriage

Indeed, no provision of the Constitution speaks to the issue

Its conclusion rests upon its own, not a record- based, view of the facts

Its legal analysis is faulty: It misconstrues the nature of the competing constitutional interests at stake

It understates the importance of protecting the political integrity of our governmental institutions
