It has everything to do with your point; you were saying that the whole thing is based on feeling (that is, of the official[s] concerned; whether or not they feel like it's legitimate). That is, if they thought the politicos would not support them, they would not have done it.
All this crap/lawlessness is going on precisely because those in authority refuse to do justice: whether because they've seared their own conscience so they cannot tell good from evil, to whether they simply think "It's not worth the effort", to those who are afraid of losing their status for going against the stance[s] mandated for politicos to hold, to whether they are so arrogant as to believe themselves unbound by the Law (Constitution).
My use of polygamy was hyperbole, and probably a poor choice, since it is specified in our constitution. A better choice would have been nudists. Two nudists ask a wedding photographer to do their wedding photographs, and the photographer declines, claiming that she would be be offended by the nudity, and that public nudity was against her religion and spiritual beliefs. Now then, PC and the nudist agenda have managed to get some politicians to go along with legalizing public nudity. After all, we are genetically predisposed towards nudity. So the nudists do what all activists do when the opportunity arises, they sue. ...Could this happen? It hasn’t been so long ago that the good citizens of New Mexico would have been stunned at the thought of gay marriage. Certainly it was so far from the minds of our state constitution’s framers that they didn’t feel the need to codify against it. Too bad the Mormons weren’t into gay marriage. I doubt the framers were thinking about public, nude marriage either.
The real point of my point, so to speak, is that in any human endeavor, cultural, political, education, business, marriage, family, banking, religion and so forth, the values that come out are the values we put in. This nonsense won’t stop with homosexual marriage, and the existing laws won’t matter.
