I've got a perfect way to push the limits on same-sex marriage in a manner that will make a statement.

I need to find a 90+ year old single person who is willing to get "married" to one of his or her own grandchildren or great-grandchildren. Once the Court's own ruling in this case is used to justify a marriage between family members, we can hasten the demise of Social Security and other pension funds by providing widows' survivor benefits to someone who may very well collect them for 70+ years.

Now there's an angle I hadn't yet heard. Criminals can marry each other and claim spousal privilege is another. Perhaps somebody should start compiling a list of all the issues folks have raised.

It's not a bad idea. Not that it matters, but do you know that there are still some widows of Confederate Veterans? I believe they receive a pension of some kind.

A kindly grandfather might want to marry his granddaughter just so she can have his social security benefits, starting at, I dunno, age 20? Who could it hurt???
