Clearly the definition of marriage is what we say it is. Thank you for coming around to the fact that the USSC altered the definition.
No more so then when they overturned interracial marriage bans.
Marriage is a social construct that we define to service us. We don't serve it. And when laws are created that that run contrary to constitutional guarantees, the judiciary has an obligation to put the constitution above the law.
Which is what Obergefell was all about.
Agreed Skylar. That's why the Constitution demands that ALL and not just one or two sexual orientations may marry when in Obergefell it Found that it's against the law for states to deny people marriage licenses based on sexual orientation. It's already legal for polyamorists to marry. Thanks for your agreement on that after your impassioned "nobody left out" legal reasoning and "marriage is what we say it is". When "we" means equality under the 14th Amendment, and not just a group of LGBTs blackmailing a judge or Justice based on what THEY say marriage can't be (polyamory etc.).
ie: if "we" say marriage is not as it has historically been with regard to sex (not race in this debate), man/woman, then "we" can also say the historical tradition of "two" is no longer relevant as well when it comes to sex. I think it's hilarious how prude the LGBTs become, how Emily Post they are when it comes to dismantling the word "two" in marriage" but not "man/woman"; as if the latter had more historical precedent and backing than polyamory. As Bucktooth pointed out, polyamory-orientation has far more historical precedent connected to the word "marriage". Two will be a snap to erase. Easier than man/woman for sure..
