Brilliant!
Also a way to keep your adult child on your health insurance.
“Brilliant!”
Only by half my friend.
Polygamy is coming! Since the supreme court (yes lower caps b/c they don’t deserve any respect) used the 14th Amendment to justify this, ALL marriage must be legalized.
To get the full tax breaks we’d all want to marry our parents, our siblings, and our children! Yes people, incest marriage is coming too! Incest is legal in some states and that marriage cannot be discriminated against just as gay marriage can’t. Remember, the court said marriage is a constitutional right!And let’s face it, if gays can marry, so can a 75 year old woman and her 55 year old daughter (or any same sex family member). No estate tax and no death tax.
Come on people. Start thinking out of the box!. That also means the need for Obamacare (SCOTUScare) and Medicare is defunct as we know it. Why not marry simply to help others have access to your health plans at work? As stated above, once my mother and I are married, she can now enjoy the benefits of my health care plan at work as my spouse and forego Medicare. With marriage being redefined, marriage is a simple legal contract, nothing more, nothing less. Take advantage of it.
Now that my friend is “brilliant!” :)
I just thought of another unintended consequence of the Court's ruling:
What the court is saying is that the government can't withhold rights or benefits from one group without giving it to all groups. I don't see how they can continue to use age as a factor to "discriminate". That means anyone, regardless of age, should be allowed to: get a driver's license, smoke, drink, join the military and, of course, get married.
Presumably, this could also be used to give full benefits (including the "right" to vote?) to illegal aliens.
The fallout from this rulling will be vast. They can't justify it on legal, Constitutional or ethical grounds, so they will have to hand down arbitrary decisions on each and every permutation, picking and choosing which "rights" they feel like granting.
Chain marriage. Heinlein had this as a plot device years ago.
