The Supreme Courts recent 54 decision in Obergefell v. Hodges legalizing same-sex marriage across the United States has already spawned speculation about what will be next in expanding marital rights. As the Supreme Court noted, [t]he history of marriage is one of both continuity and change. That institution
has evolved over time. Interracial marriage, equality between husband and wife, and same-sex marriage were all excluded for long periods of time under our Constitution but now have been sanctioned and protected by the courts. While these changes have come slowly, and courts are unlikely to take the next step in expanding marital rights for some time, the courts are probably not finished expanding the legal definition of marital rights.

At this point, even the robot has more rights than unborn humans. They cannot be legally seized or destroyed without due process of law in a courtroom for the owner.

The agenda is already set.
Next...
Polygamy
Then end of restrictions for cousins brothers and sister etc.
Then a lowering of age for the pedophiles
The it will become open ended after that and anyone in any manner can be legally married.

#1 is starring at a small screen. Definitely a turn-off, whether with a bot or “real-life.’
