Why do you want the government involved in the sacrament of marriage, McKinley?

You get married according to your faith, I to mine. Anything wrong with that?

[William McKinley]

Since the founding of the country, marriage here has been one man, one woman. Anything wrong with that?

If there is a constitutional reason why it shouldn't be just that, then spell it out, and while doing explain how that same rationale could not be used to legalize polygamy, adult incest, or beastiality.

Since the founding of our country, the government has been involved in the sacrament of marriage. Why do you, who claims the mantle of conservatism, want to change that?
