But Mr. Axler and his group, "Clergy for Fairness," weren't rallying against same-sex marriage. They were complaining that the Federal Marriage Amendment, scheduled for a June 5 vote in the U.S. Senate, "raises alarming constitutional concerns" because defining marriage as between one man and one woman would restrict the liberty of religious leaders who, like Mr. Axler, want to be able to marry same-sex couples.

Mr. Axler can marry all the same sex-couples he wants, all the polygamous, polyamorous, and pet groupings he wants, and call it marriage in his denomination - it just isn't legally recognized. Or punished. I'd call that religious liberty.

That's a good point that had slipped my mind.The government does not have,and should not have,the power to prevent such an occurrence.And something tells me that Craig already knows this.
