Upthread the federal law was posted. Remember that Utah wasn’t allowed to become a state until it agreed to pass an anti-plural marriage law meeting federal requirements.

Yeah, I saw that later. I also remembered about Utah, but I got to thinking by what Constitutional Authority is the Federal Government empowered to regulate marriage or any other Issue not within the province of a FEDERAL mandate?

I think that a Federal Law regarding marriage is an overreach of Federal power. (Of Course, now days, Federal Overreach is the norm, not the exception.)

Anyway, thanks for pointing that out to me.
