Why can't these People be Married together?...

[OriginalShroom]

People should have the right to marry the person(s) they love.

I thought that was the main point of Gay Marriage argument.

you are wrong. the argument for gay marriage is that these people are being discriminated against because of their sexual orientation. The exact same argument WILL be made for bigamy and polygamy. They will have precedent on their side in court.

Gay marriage is step 1 towards the destruction of our society.

That's not the argument. The argument for same sex marriage is an equal protection argument.

The Constitution requires that laws apply equally to all situations that are the same, or sufficiently similar. Recognizing a civil marriage that 2 people can enter into but only if one is man and one is a woman violates equal protection because a marriage of two men or two women is a sufficiently similar situation and thus deserves the same civil recognition.

2 Sisters is just as "Equal"... Fact.

And could you cite the SCOTUS making your argument?



peace...

So maybe the Constitutional REALITY is that 2 sisters should have the right to a recognized civil marriage, if man/woman marriages are legally recognized.

Question:

If 2 sisters wanted to get married and challenged the state laws against incestuous marriage in their state (and if necessary on to the Supreme Court)

what's the argument against them? What is the state's compelling interest in preventing 2 women who happen to be sisters from getting married,

if that state does in fact legally sanction other monogamous marriages?

If a spouse wants a divorce, do the other spouses have to pay support? If a man divorces his wives does he have to pay support to all of them?

In the 60s there were hippie communes where everyone was the husband/wife of every other member of the commune. The concept hasn't gone away. There is just now a method to make the arrangement legal.

If they all marry each other, who makes the decisions when something happens to one of them?

Rock, paper, scissors

I imagine that would cause a lot of fights...

Not if you take rock

Depends on the divorce settlement

I would recommend a prenup

if it was not illegal to own a tank, a bazooka, a howitzer, or an atomic bomb some people would own them. people would be sliding down that slippery slope and buying such weapons. Laws are made to protect society from such things.

It's not laws that prevent criminals from owning nukes and tanks; it's the sheer fucking COST and inability to conceal PRODUCTION.

illegal. Many people could afford a tank, but its illegal to own one, same with a bazooka or an RPG. Its not the expense, its the illegality. If it was legal many people would own them.

And you’re still just as ignorant of marriage law. Fact.

And one need only cite your posts to make the argument.

So, when asked to cite SCOTUS and The Constitution, you backed down.

OK, cite the marriage law that support your argument.

@ C_Clayton_Jones. Still waiting...

They look like a Happy, Caring, Stable, Loving Family... Who are you to Judge and tell them they can't be Married?

Bigots!

Because you're ignorant of marriage law.

Than marriage law is bigoted and must be overturned to allow for polygamy.

California is starting to understand this, they understand children can have multiple parents, allowing individuals to marry multiple partners is just the next step. Who are you to stop someone from sharing their love with multiple people?

Well, father kills himself, mothers will go on Welfare and get Medicaid, while kids will get Obamacare. They all will get Obamaphones.

You won't have to give yours up. Promise.

Oh, you wanna play that way?

I already gave it to your mom. I run out of cash, but she takes anything.

Asshole.

Write stupidly, Ame®icano, and you will pay the price every time.

You can read, or not read, plenty of equal protection cases here:
