post#9-”So no marriage license is needed and those who are requesting them should stop asking.”
post#10-”The licenses are all presigned with her signature on them,-”
If a marriage license is not needed then why are there licenses with her name preprinted to begin with?

That is the question! It seems there is so much confusion thanks to SCOTUS. One argument in post 9 refers back to another thread in which it was disclosed that all marriage laws in the US are null and void and thus to licenses are needed.
From post 10 on this thread - that is what I thought was happening until I read

Surely someone with authority can speak on this issue, let’s hope it isn’t SCOTUS though.
Perhaps it would be possible for churches to issue a “holy matrimony” document and file it in the church?
That would keep marriage out of government.
[[That would keep marriage out of government.]]
It’s fully entrenched in government now- the govnemrent may infact take it out of the churches hands before too long- citing ‘haste speech’ and ‘bigotry’ if a church refuses to marry gay couples when ‘ordered to by the courts’
Sound far fetched? So didn’t gay marriage just a few short years ago-
There is no reason to retreat and every reason to attack.
There are three reasons:
1) A retreat means marriage has no meaning, we must accept “marriage” being any grouping of persons without regard to their age, number, or consanguinity. Obvious consequences are polygamy, incest, child marriage, and pedophilia - all of which are socially destructive.
2) Allowing the USSC to alter the well established definition of a word opens Pandora’s Box, there is unlimited chaos if this is allowed.
3) Allowing the USSC to dictate what a State law shall be is wholly extra-Constitutional. It renders them dictators.
