After thought:
Polygamy is discriminated against, but it is legislative, not Constitutional, discrimination (a law), and “good” in my judgement. How to raise “physiologically healthy” children with 400 wives?

No, at least not historically. There have been members of the congressional black caucus in the past who have not been black.

No, Jacob, I’ve never asked you this question before. Let me ask you again:

Jacob, do you think that if you move to another state your marriage should not be recognized in that new state?

Consider this. Can something be “wrong” and still be “good”? Conversly, can something be “right” and still be “bad”?

Right/wrong is a moral judgement, Biblically advised to be made by God only.

Good/bad is a value judgement, and can be made mere mortals.

Seemingly based on your religious beliefs, Jacob, “wrong” may be accurate relative to your religion’s teachings or your understanding of your religious teachings. And it (the legislation) may be (Jacob’s words) “the single most important peice of legislation out there right now” IF your religion believes and teaches its passing adds to America’s unGodliness.

However, as a mere mortal, I “value” judge the “Respect for Marriage Act of 2009″ to be “good” because it doesn’t discriminate (per Constitutional requirements) against anyone because of race, religion, nationality, or sex.

I have answered this many many many many many many many many many many many times. I think it is wrong for marriage to be between same sex people. Therefor, this bill is a very big deal

Yet another question you won’t answer. I think I know why. This answer has consequences.

Jacob, please, this is far from the most important bill out there. I would file it under frivolous use of Congress.

Well why don’t they kick those caucus members out of the caucus then?

Side note: How does the black caucus enforce their membership. Do you have to be black?

This is much bigger than that and you know it. This would be a land mark bill
