The United States Supreme Court:
"Laws are made for the government of actions, and while they cannot interfere with mere religious belief and opinions, they may with practices..."

[Reynolds v. United States, 98 U.S. 145, 8 Otto 145, 24 L. Ed. 244 (1878).]

See also: Late Corporation of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints v. United States, 136 U.S. 1, 10 S.Ct. 792, 34 L. Ed. 478 (1890). Revised as 140 U.S. 665, 11 S.Ct. 884, 35 L. Ed. 592 (1891).

Marriage is a public act... regulated by statutory license.

Marriage is a religious "rite," not a civil "right;" with a secular standard of human reproductive biology.

Driving, marriage, legal and medical practices are not enumerated rights; they are privileged practices that require statutory license.

Nothing that requires a license is a right.

Go back and re-read my post 51. Start with the courts should not be used to make law. And continue reading from there.
