Legislating morality

[maineman]

How many of these states decided by the will of the people or their elected representatives?

you don't KNOW?

the answer is ten, plus the District of Columbia.

 

[Jarod]

Sure you can. Just hire a lawyer like yourself and write up the necessary contracts.

There are rights you cannot get by simply writing up a contract. Example... filing jointly on your tax return.

A dumbass libtard telling me what the Constitution seeks. LOL!

HEY fucktard.


what makes you think you get to tell everyone what it means.


the right told you you won the constitution?



you are so fucking stupid you bougth that lie

 

[Jarod]

No state licenses slavery. What a terrible analogy.

They did.

 

[Canceled.2014.1]

In other words, gay marriage provides little, if any, benefit to the state. So why would they want to license such an activity?

And if procreation is the only reason the state issues a marriage license, why do they issue them to couples who cannot reproduce? Why is there not even a question about it when applying for the license?

CT, VT, NH, DC, NY, ME, MD, RI, DE, MN, IL, HI

 

[evince]

So 12 out of 50. Or is it 57?

 

[MAGA MAN]

Get current.

huh

So change that archaic IRS law.

 

[Jarod]

Get current.

Is if it happened in the past, and is not happening right now, its not a good example...? Seriously? You are desperate to confuse the issue and not talk about the subject.

 

[maineman]

So 12 out of 50. Or is it 57?

and a decade ago, the number was zero. do the math.

Goes back to the progressiveism is actually winning a few battles thing.

 

[Canceled.2014.1]

So 12 out of 50. Or is it 57?

No, the answer is 12 out of 17.

 

[MAGA MAN]

And if procreation is the only reason the state issues a marriage license, why do they issue them to couples who cannot reproduce? Why is there not even a question about it when applying for the license?

Again, it's up to the voters in the states, or their elected representatives, to decide what is worth licensing, and what is not.

Do you think that it is OK for a judge to issue an edict forcing a state what to license?

 

[Timshel]

You don't need any sort of license to reproduce.

The purpose of most licenses is to permit an action that would otherwise be illegal or to restrict the action to those qualified. But the marriage license is really nothing more than a means to register a marriage agreement with the state. Frankly, "marriage license" is a misnomer.

Marriage is a fundamental right and so any restriction on it must pass strict scrutiny. There has to be a compelling interest. The state cannot restrict it on a whim and, as has been pointed out, no one has really given any good answer to what interest restrictions against gay marriage serve.

 

[Jarod]

Texas and Alabama are talking about decriminalizing marijuana and Gay marriage is sweeping the nation. Id say liberalism is making huge progress.

 

[MAGA MAN]

No, the answer is 12 out of 17.

12 out of 50 states have used the democratic or republican process to decide that it is in their interest to license the activity. The remainder have not.

Agreed!
