David Simpson Calls for Special Session to End Marriage Licensing in Texas

lol, I can't wrap my brain around that.

If only it actually existed at some point, so he could point to that and say "there's an example".
Of course if he did that we could just point out that it doesn't exist anymore and that any form of state that doesn't last an infinite amount of time is invalid, and then we'd win.
 
This is a good move. Would have been a freakin' epic move if someone would have done this LAST WEEK!

Seriously. The impetus for divorcing the State from marriage (SWIDT) existed long before this Court's decision. Now, it loses some of that luster.

(Of course, maybe the decision will rally enough people to actually do it... Who knows?)
 
This SCOTUS decision is working out pretty well for libertarians.

Yup. A state was already leaning towards getting rid of marriage laws (Alabama, I believe) if SCrOTUS ruled in favor of gay marriage. It might have been the best push for liberty without government interference in a long while.
 
Can someone tell me what effect removing state officials from being involved in marriage licensing accomplishes if the state still recognizes marriage and keeps all the laws which depend upon marital status unchanged?

Everything is fucked up.


The SCOTUS has forced a gargantuan welfare state upon the nation since 1935, but they are all upset about SSM. Unbelievable.
 
The union between a man and a woman is the foundation of society.

It's not something to be taken lightly.

Well there's a rather large group who disagrees and they've managed to get the highest court in the land to see things their way.

Still want to work within their system?
