use big govt to dictate marriage

Civil marriage is created and administered by government - how do you propose government not "dictate" it?

ooof. Right after you tell me where that power is enumerated, I’ll answer your question.

Sorry, I assumed you knew something about the subject - civil marriage is created and administered by STATE government, so enumeration is a nonissue.

But of course, you’ll advocate it at the federal level, so it really is.

I love it when people tell me what I think (the Drug Warriors are big on that). What exactly do you think I'll advocate at the federal level?

You either belive govt should be in the business of marriage or not. I dont.

What does that concretely mean? Should there be no such thing as civil marriage at the state or federal level?

Your questions sounded like you do. I dunno what you were getting at, but I dont think you made your point.

My point is that your protest against "using big govt to dictate marriage" is incoherent. You can provide specifics, or continue to kick and fuss - your call.

Well I guess neither of us is being coherent then. Have a good one.
