ninety ninety two percent of Iowans
responded to a KCCI poll that said this
has had no impact on their lives two
years down the road there's been no
damage done the you know the bottom line
is nothing has really changed and I
except for the families that have been
given this privilege they've been given
afforded this opportunity and so from
that perspective I don't think that
there's there's an overwhelming rush of
people upon us asking us to change the
law and when he says you know nothing
has changed that's the problem we have
right now it's all about me that's why
we have a national death way the
national debt is fourteen point three
trillion how does it impact me
regardless of what it will do the next
generation we should have a
multi-generational view here and I don't
think we play games with the dynamics of
society and and what if we're going to
start walking away from God's law where
do you stop on this deal because Bob's
not the right standard Paul's not the
right standard to mayor is not the right
standard and so when he asks a question
do we allow polygamy they always say
sought stay silent do you allow
bisexuals to marry a guy and a girl they
stay silent well those aren't rational
artists what you say all right where is
that line where is that line completely
irrational well the red herrings well
retinol eye and that's why people don't
respond to him because they're silly
there's their silly argument you don't
think people would collect a state had a
law on side of me so it wasn't that far
off well and in the 1960s we also banned
interracial marriage these are the same
arguments that they they used to try to
maintain and try to oppose interracial
marriage not yours you guys are you guys
are bringing irrational red herring
arguments and I'm sorry I'm not gonna
let you get away with it is it doesn't
ok it doesn't one does i'm an afib it
doesn't benefit the conversation it adds
no value what we're talking about here
is gay marriage we have dozens of cases
that have been decided by our supreme
court over the years under the equal
protection clause in our Constitution
and the court has in some instances
upheld more often than not upheld
utes when they're challenged on that
basis but on occasion has upset statutes
on the basis that equal protection of
the laws involved the issue here was
classification of individuals based on
their sexual orientation it had nothing
to do with parents marrying children or
whatever other parade of Horrible's mr.
Vander Plaats wants to portray the
narrow issue before the court was
whether that classification based on
sexual orientation with respect to the
right to marry was one that would
withstand that constitutional challenge
