You want your state to declare your marriage legally invalid?
What about those in the military?
I’ve argued that for some time. Use their own tactics against them and eliminate government recognition of marriage entirely.
Since the Supreme Court has nullified their marriage statutes, there is no legitimate statutory authority for these states to issue any marriage licenses.
The fact of the matter is that States that issue marriage licenses to anyone right now have no legitimate authority to do so.
Unless they ignore the lawless decision of the SCOTUS and continue to issue licenses only to those people who are qualified under the existing statutes.
I think I’ll continue my blessed relationship without the intervention of the State.
Not sure if that is true or not.
If you die, who inherits? Your legal spouse. If you divorce, who gets half (or more) of your stuff? If your spouse becomes ill, who pays the doctor bills? How about SS survivor's benefits? Your spouse, along with your children. If you and your spouse file a joint income tax return, you both benefit from your marriage.
Now imagine if marriage was unrecognized in your state. How many of these matrimonial perks would survive?
Its going to take an outside the political parties Martin Luther King style movement willing to be civilly disobedient.
The GOPe look at opinion polls just like JFK and the Democrat Establishment did in the early 1960’s.
THE GOPE SEES THE PUBLIC OPINION POLLS AND WILL NOT MEANINGFULLY RESIST. WE SAW THIS WHEN THEY CAVED ON RELIGIOUS FREEDOM BILLS IN INDIANA AND ARKANSAS EARLIER THIS YEAR.
Public opinion did not support integration-civil rights until folks got hosed down by water cannon and bit by dogs, until hundreds of six and seven year old children marched into police wagons in defiance of Bull Connor in Birmingham.
We must throw off the chains of Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, GOPe friendly websites and other voices that demonize Liberals and Democrats to intoxicate us with anger and keep us in the angry debate chamber.
We can’t be a rabble of bitter angry alcoholic like people which is my life story.
I need to Love God, Love Humanity and humbly resist evil without anger or hatred in my heart.
Glenn Beck is making more sense than other voices out there now but maybe we need a new leader to emerge.
The SCOTUS has ruled there is now no such thing as marriage.
People here don’t seem to realize that no one has to get a marriage license to get married.
Americans do it all the time, and always have, no one forces you to be “legal”.
These threads are goofy.
I keep hearing this theory in one form or another, but I think people are overlooking one of the most important things about marriage in America, something that I think was a driving motivation for gays to seek legalization of same sex marriage.
TAXES....SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS.....HEALTH INSURANCE.
I don’t know how any of these things would work if we did away with civil marriage.
Just thinking out loud...
Maybe a different type of contract could be added for one man-one woman marriages only. Couldn’t the states simply give it another name if it can’t be called just marriage now?
Then one man/one woman couples would have the option to choose “marriage” and/or this other category.
And also, allow churches to marry couples as a sacrament without the civil marriage.
That is what the homo leftists want,
to destroy civil marriage that has been a bedrock of civilization for 5,000 years
Don’t do their job for them
What the Churches and Synagogues (Mosques will be exempt) should do is to no longer perform marriages. Only provide some type of religious ceremony for couples of their organization after the fact.
All “marriages” should be left to the JP’s or whatever gov’t appointed group.
Then hopefully in the future a section of the country will declare Nullification as their official policy towards the federal gov’t and then succeed from the old union and reestablish the fundamental principles the Founders put forth.
