In Murphy v. Ramsey, SCOTUS defined marriage as "The union for life of one man and one woman in the holy estate of matrimony."

In Maynard v. Hill, SCOTUS spoke of marriage as being between one man and one woman.

Remember, liberals, Stari Decisis....right? Chuck E. Cheese Schumer seems to like to invoke those words whenever it suits him.

Marriage should be redefined, and those that are against redefining it are bigots? Then why are liberals bigotted against consenting ADULT Polygamists? Marriage is about love and equality? Then why don't liberals love consenting adult polygamists/polygamy and desire equality for them, too? We're talking about adults here.

Why do liberals act as if they only want to redefine something so far and no further --- but it never seems to end up that way?????

Liberals are NEVER done when it comes to changing/redefining things.....

Those who insist on “marriage” equality Never mention the Constitutional of the people to keep and bear arms as extending to all people. and if pressed I bet they would say it is repugnant to suggest Marriage equality ought mean an adult male should be allowed marry a ten year old girl(except in Islamic Countries)?

What about the military’s definition of marriage, is it based on whatever state you were married in?

What about when you move from one state to another and your six wives want to divorce you in a state which doesn’t recognize polygamy, or that will allow a wife not to testify against you, or child custody, or all the other things that make it necessary for all states to recognize a marriage?

I have long opposed governmental recognition of same-gender marriages and this legislation is consistent with that position. The Act confirms the right of each state to determine its own policy with respect to same gender marriage and clarifies for purposes of federal law the operative meaning of the terms "marriage" and "spouse".

To Colorado’s high flying Shame our State Legislature has under Hickenlooper been working to increase pot tourism

What's wrong with that? Should California not promote wine tourism?
