But, again, the fact that the other republicans suck doesn't somehow make me like Paul.

That's why the federal government has the power to override when a state infinges on the rights on the individual that are granted by the constitution.

I don't know exactly why there isn't specifically anything about gay marriage in it.

So then you agree with me. Given the wording, and the absence of exception, Gay Marriage is currently, under the Constitution, legal.

I guess people who oppose gay marriage interpret it in their favor.

What i mean to say is "nullification" was never something allowed by the 10th Amendment. Also, what is that an example of.

As for your position on marriage equality, my question back to you is "why can't they marry people of the same sex?" Marriage isn't specified in the Constitution, and the 14th Amendment is the trumping law given American Laws hierarchy. So states banning gay marriage are illegal by virtue of the U.S. Constitution.

Yes. Although if Gingrich ends up being the GOP nominee, we will have to keep him 4 more years.
