If marriage is not exactly the institution designed by G-d for one man and one woman to be joined for the purposes of raising childeren.....
.....Then marriage is absolutely anything you want it to be.
Oedipus can now marry his mommy.
The Aristocrats!
there is no need for a religious argument.
This is about society. The left is seeking to destroy the family unit and unity in existing families.
Marriage benefits society NOT the individual. Society rewards the institution not the individual.
Right now domestic relations law (divorce law) is transitioning to clauses which state children are just accessories to the marriage. IOW the issue of children is seperate from the divorce and child custody and support is decided as if the parties are not married. (thanks model law code)
Homosexual based marriage provides NOTHING to the benefit of society. ZIP nada. They cost, and do not contribute. This is why homosexuals use the anecdotal homosexuals with families every time a prop 8 comes to bear.
If it is true this was laughably decided on the federal constitution then those lawyers on the bench were trying to prevent a prop 8 scendario because they know their rulings day is numbered otherwise.
BTW a RECORD NUMBER OF LAW SCHOOLS NOW EXIST AND MORE (yes MORE) are SOON TO OPEN!!! (not a joke)
