And language in their decision points to a non-decision in the Prop 8 case.

Kennedy is part of the reason Reagan was not the outstanding president many conservatives believe.

Not a big surprise really.

Personally I would ditch the federal definition of marriage (leave it up to the church) and cut the marriage related federal benefits down to a handful from some 1500.

Now, pervert “marriage” is exportable into all 50 states. And it will be.

Remove the tax incentives with the FairTax, get the government out of paying for health care, end retirement Ponzi schemes, close government schools and there really isn’t much left to fight about.

Oh what was it the elite said? “ We don’t need a constitutional amendment, the courts would never rule on this”.

Make that PART of DOMA. An important part, granted, but theoretically, states can still refuse to recognize this fake contrivance.

Natural consequence to redefining marriage.

Now society must do what was done thousands of years ago: define a category to facilitate procreation.

I would argue that there are no legally married same sex couples, since such a union can’t be consummated due to the biology required.
