Judge Roy Moore, he who was removed from the bench because he wanted a granite statue of the Ten Commandments in his courthouse foyer has come out against amending the Constitution to ban homosexual marriage.

Don't think this is because he favors it, he doesn't. His reasons are more of the principle that such things are not federal issues. "I don’t think you can make a constitutional amendment for every moral problem created by courts that don’t follow the law of their states. If you do, you pretend to do what God has already done and make it subject to the courts. I think it’s a problem to establish morality by constitutional amendments made by men when the morality of our country is plainly illustrated – in Supreme Court precedent and in state-law precedent and in the common law – as coming from an acknowledgement of God.”

So he still has some separation of church/state issues to come to terms with, but it just goes to show that no man is made, all of a piece.
