State governments can avoid a lot of trouble by simply eliminating marriage licensure entirely. Just come out and say that anyone who claims to be married (even if it is five men and twelve women) is free to consider themselves spouses, and be done with it.
It might happen. It is to the ill in some ways, but the ideas of “marriage” have become thoroughly crazy today. Better to do nothing than to do harm.
What about taxes? Children? Property? Inheritance?
I agree. States need to punt back to Justice Kennedy.
This is not the only case. More are coming. Tennessee and Texas.
If there is no need for an abortion license, then get rid of the marriage license. Let it all be private.
I’d pretty much agree....just get state governments out of the business. Other than a driver’s license, a fishing license and a hunting license...I don’t see any need beyond those for another license.
