I'm ready. It's time for a Marriage Amendment. Isn't your marriage a covenant between yourself and your spouse, and potentially your God?
Or are you also married to the state?

I can go through some silly hocus pocus and say I'm married to my cat. But that doesn't give a reason to the state to recognize the relationship. States recognize marriages for the same reason that they recognize people: Because they are a fundamental fact of life. THE WAY GOD MADE IT. Marriages reflect the arrangement GOD has bequeathed to us to create children: a man and a woman. Comprendez-pas?

Or are you also married to the state?All Conservatives are married to the State. So are all Liberals, for that matter.

Isn't your marriage a covenant between yourself and your spouse, and potentially your God? It is also a contract with and via the state. Ever hear of a "marriage license"? Or "By the powers invested in me by God AND THE STATE OF ****"? That's a relatively recent deal, designed to protect the public health originally. It's why some states require blood tests before issueance of a license, or used to at any rate. They even had "waiting periods".

A glorious day for OWK, Lord High Priest of the Anus Cult.
A sad day for America as the rest of us are forced by SCOTUS federal leviathan fiat to embrace an inceasingly coarse and anti-traditional family environment.
