Bravo Rand, get the government out of marriage. Its a religious institution and ougfht to be kept out of the hands of the liberal secular government.

Bingo!
Been saying this for a couple years.
The alternative is for the rest of us to not participate in their sanctioned unions.
Contract unions end that BS and forego the IRS bene’s...

The man is an idiot, and he was pushing for the GOP to accept gay marriage before this, just as he wants the GOP to lighten up on all social issues and abortion.

As in classic liberalism, aka paleoconservatism.

What about the military, how do the feds decide what a legal marriage is for them, and for immigration?

There is going to have to be some remedy for contractual obligations, especially to the issue therefrom, and it’s not going to come from Washington, nor the church.
Like it or not, it’s going to have to come from state law, and from Article IV Section 1 of the Constitution...unless we’re done with all that.
Rand Paul is frankly, an idiot.

From twitter: Daniel Horowitz @RMConservative 4h4 hours ago What a steaming pile of incoherent drivel that fails to speak to what actually occurred last week http://time.com/3939374/rand-paul-government-should-get-out-of-the-marriage-business/

So you liked Dick Nixon? Or didn’t you know that Pat worked for him for many years? At one point, Pat was his only political aide.

What government must get out of...
—Marriage business
—healthcare business
—rationing of guns business
—foreign nation building business
—trying to convert Muslim countries into democracies
—engineering the tax code to promote agenda of the elites in Washington DC
—making bad deals with Muslamo-Fascist regimes like Iran
What government needs to do more of:
—protect national sovereignty by protecting and closing borders
—protect credibility of elections by eliminating voter fraud
—enforce immigration laws already on the books
—strengthen our military, this should be priority one because it is the best way to discourage bad actors from attacking Americans and American interests.

FURP!As always well said, Jim and absolutely right. Rand Paul is a big fan of Obama and is glad that the usurper is not in prison. He stated that publicly in a Senate hearing.
