Liberal nonsense? Are you crazy?
The police power of the state is the most ancient principle of government known to man. It can to us along with the common law from England.
Do me a favor. Go down to your local law library, or online, and look up police power in "Words and Phrases". Read the cases about it. I know you can find the Slaughterhouse Cases, a USSC case, online. It is a landmark police power case. Read it. Then get back to me.
Show how divorce directly and concretely "threaten(s) the health, welfare and safety of the people of the state".
You forgot to say "Show how no-fault divorce. . .". You left out the word "no-fault". An oversight, I'm sure.
The fact that now half of all marriages end in divorce because of no-fault and it alone, when the basic binding unit of our society and nation is the family, even families that don't get along well. There are others, but that's sufficient. A house with a rotten foundation, falls.
You say, get the law changed. And I ask, how specifically and feasibly?

Transparent strawman.
I never said that the state has no police power, only that no-fault divorce does not rise to the level of "threaten(ing) the health, welfare and safety of the people of the state" and consequently the state may not use its police power to prohibit it.

It was, actually. I amend the question, which you dodged (an oversight, I'm sure).

The same way you get any law changed.
Conservatives are supposed to believe in the rule of law, right? That's one of the bedrocks of our philosophy?
Or are you seriously advocating using the use of the state's police power to settle a political argument you don't think you can win?
Can you help me understand the two scenarios below?
1. I fire an employee I had hired a week ago.
2. My wife of 8+ years files for no-fault divorce, I have been faithful, providing and non-abusive.
Who would have more rights and legal protection in front of a court, the employee or the faithful husband?
