I don't like state's having the power to license the clergy. The state should get out of the marriage business, though they might wanna create civil union laws to replace their marriage laws.

Marriage remains a rite of faith. Poligimist Mormons currently get around the legal ban via serial divorces. Laws haven't stopped it.

Clergy are already "invested" by the State to perform marriage that the state recognizes. All I am saying is that they should be the only ones with that ability.
