The glorious third reign of templedom

About that Obergefell ruling, which rested on flimsy (drug-addled if you ask me) reasoning, resulting in Defense of Marriage Act (1996) being overturned as unconstitutional; the funny thing is, the ruling itself is NOT LAW, merely DETERMINANT OF LEGALITY of laws. To formally legalise GAY 'marriage' still required positive laws to make specific allowance to that effect, which to date were all State-enacted.

US Constitution Article VI clause 2 says that:
" This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding. "

THEREFORE, gay 'marriage' IS NOT A CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT and is superceded by FREEDOM OF SPEECH and FREEDOM OF RELIGION which ARE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS unless there was a LAW PASSED BY U.S. CONGRESS legalising gay 'marriage' in ALL 50 STATES.

Conservative americans have been duped by their own government!

From wikipedia:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_same-sex_marriage_in_the_United_States

" On June 26, 2015, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down all state bans on same-sex marriage, legalized it in all fifty states, and required states to honor out-of-state same-sex marriage licenses in the case Obergefell v. Hodges. "

THIS IS JUST PLAIN WRONG!!

Just to add:

...unless there was a LAW PASSED BY U.S. CONGRESS legalising gay 'marriage' in ALL 50 STATES. [and given constitutional force backed by kennedy-metaphysical-newager EXISTENTIALISTIC-SPIRITUALISTIC logic].

The glorious third reign of templedom

I think I understand what has been going on now. Let's recap:

  • in 1996 under Clinton administration the DOMA was passed, banning gay 'marriage' in all 50 states

  • up until then, it was a grey area in law, with some states issuing 'marriage certificates' to gay couples and other states refusing to

  • a legal manoeuvre took place in 2015, using the S.C. to turn the entire edifice upside-down with obergefell as the coup d'grace

  • by striking down a federal ban, the kennedy court effectively prohibited ALL 50 STATES from WITHOLDING 'marriage certificates' from gay couples (as any State that refuses to can be hauled up to the S.C., and fined or something)

  • not only that: IF and WHEN Congress passes a law in the future RECOGNISING gay 'marriage', the S.C.'s successors CANNOT EASILY RULE AGAINST IT due to LEGAL PRECEDENCE (ie, taking the initiative)

  • kennedy can now retire in peace feeling his foul 'legacy' secure for all posterity

  • I think it was Mrs. Clinton's hope to 'reap' the LIBERAL HARVEST to become 1st woman president in US history in 2016

  • (I'm also fairly sure she's the brain behind diminished 2nd amendment rights, ie. Americans can still buy all the guns they want, but in many cases as soon as they fire a shot they've commited a felony. Ie, gun ban by any other name)

  • it's comforting to digress sometimes

AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT


SUBJECT: DETONATION OF THERMONUCLEAR DEVICE

At 11:23 a.m. local time, Strategic Force T.A.F. successfully detonated a thermonuclear device ("hydrogen bomb") at an undisclosed location.

The explosive yield was estimated to be 12.4 megatons of TNT equivalent.

The mushroom cloud reached a height of roughly 30,000m (90,000 ft).

Detonation was triggered at an elevation of 100m above ground on a tower.

Ground zero was distanced at least 500km from the nearest known human settlement, and was located on unclaimed Catholic land.

Nuclear fallout is expected to mostly affect water.


As of now, The glorious third reign of templedom
is a full-fledged Nuclear Power.

I've reworded Section 4 of Article 1.

In what way is it un-dogmatic for the Supreme Pontiff to be the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces?

It is the highest office in the nation and all authority is held by that office. My nation is also a Republic so there is no King.

It is not "undogmatic", just not how the IRL Vatican works. The IRL Vatican is irrelevant in NationStates, where you create your own nation.

Yes, but what I meant was in real life that would not be the case. However, if our region votes for a Crusader (militant monk order) -style constitution, like perhaps a blend of benedictine rule and anti-raider diplomacy, then the Pope may very well command all pledged forces!

The best Psalm relating to national security has to be this one:

A gradual canticle of Solomon.
Psalms 126 [KJV-127]
1 Unless the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it. Unless the Lord keep the city, he watcheth in vain that keepeth it. 2 It is vain for you to rise before light, rise ye after you have sitten, you that eat the bread of sorrow. When he shall give sleep to his beloved, 3 Behold the inheritance of the Lord are children: the reward, the fruit of the womb. 4 As arrows in the hand of the mighty, so the children of them that have been shaken. [iuventutis: YOUTH] 5 Blessed is the man that hath filled the desire [faretra: QUIVER; also shaft, handle, of a spear or club, etc] with them; he shall not be confounded when he shall speak to his enemies in the gate.

1 canticum graduum Salomonis nisi Dominus aedificaverit domum in vanum laboraverunt qui aedificant eam nisi Dominus custodierit civitatem frustra vigilat qui custodit eam 2 frustra vobis est de mane consurgere postquam sederitis qui manducatis panem idolorum sic dabit diligentibus se somnum 3 ecce hereditas Domini filii mercis fructus ventris 4 sicut sagittae in manu potentis ita filii iuventutis 5 beatus vir qui implevit faretram suam ex ipsis non confundentur cum loquentur inimicis in porta

A brief explanation of the above post: the english translation is from the Douay-Rheims bible (Challoner version) made during the Counter-Revolution in France. Apparently, it was purposefully fouled as revenge by the Church against the English. This travesty also hints at the existence of a "gay lobby" within the ecclesiastical hierarchy long before Vatican II.

Daloiah wrote:It is not "undogmatic", just not how the IRL Vatican works. The IRL Vatican is irrelevant in NationStates, where you create your own nation.

Popes previously were Supreme Commanders of the Armed Forces of the Church State. Yes, they had a military, the had soldiers, and they declared war and fought in battles. Julius II was especially fond of that, just as an example. The Pope being a military commander is thus normal, but not really up-to-date. The only military the Pope nowadays has, is probably the Swiss Guard.

However, I find it really difficult that so many nations here have declared the Pope the Head of State. It's a bit ludicrous.

Aha! So I have this theory about a fundamental game mechanic: let's call it your nation's "growing-up" period. For me it lasted approximately 4 months, or 500 issues received to chart the course of my nation; after that point-of-no-return, certain notorious stats like environment, niceness, and compassion becomes almost impossible to reverse. Once the game considers a nation "matured", the player really has only 2 choices:

1. Continue making the same decisions over and over again ad nauseum (mainly for bragging rights)
2. Spend CRAZY TAX MONIES and YEARS to incrementally reverse the trends

No wonder so many players simply opt to create new puppetz! (Alts)
P.S. so much for Templedom's eco-friendliness - it's completely useless!!*
