I have not read the ruling, but it sounds like a good thing. However, and I am serious, law should not preclude more than two people joining in a civil union contract.

I agree 100%. There should jot be anybtax break for worried couples so as to remove all financial incentives and plural marriages should jot be against the law. There is no legal reason to ban them.

And just to address the next idiot who talks about children or animals or chairs, they do jot have the legal right to consent so go ahead and skip that lame excuse for an argument.

I said it once and I will again. The government just needs to stay out of marriage.

Let them claim whatever title that shuts them up.

Since we're talking about a state issued license, is there any reason why practitioners of same sex unions should be denied business licenses, fishing permits, or driver's licenses?

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.

...and then...and then...

“Marriage was created by the hand of God. No man, not even a Supreme Court, can undo what a holy God has instituted,” Bachmann said. “What the court has done will undermine the best interest of children and the best interests of the United States.”

Ralph Reed, a leading Christian conservative and head of the Faith & Freedom Coalition, denounced the ruling as “an Orwellian act of judicial fiat” and said he will join in the effort for new legislation to replace the Defense of Marriage Act.

“We will now seek the passage of federal legislation to remedy this situation as much as possible given the parameters of the decision,” he said.

I hope his conservative/libertarian beliefs will guide him to the conclusion that government has no interest in what happens in the bedrooms of consenting hetrosexuals.

I've never believed that the government has any business in ANYONE'S bedroom. That has nothing to do with marriage.

Because, of course, no important aspects of marriage occur in the bedroom.

Your words: I don't "hate" gays or anyone. I hate their nasty behavior.

So, if heterosexuals engage in "nasty behavior" . . .

He becomes so emotional when he writes that he doesn't realize what he writes half of the time. Lot of anger there.
