Yeah, that's more along the lines of what I was hoping for. I was waiting for the Court to step back and say, "Wait a minute here, we've (the government) got no business in this marriage thing at all", but I doubt that will happen. Not as long as they're getting their cut of the money for issueing papers telling folks it's ok to be in a relationship.
