Some state legislators and judges are considering getting out of the marriage business entirely – refusing to offer licenses to anyone – in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision Friday that legalizes same-sex marriage in all 50 states.
Mississippi State House Judiciary Chairman Andy Gipson, R-Braxton, told the Jackson Clarion Ledger he’s still reviewing the Supreme Court ruling, but one possibility could be for the state to quit issuing licenses.
“One of the options that other states have looked at is removing the state marriage license requirement,” Gipson said. “We will be researching what options there are. I personally can see pros and cons to that. I don’t know if it would be better to have no marriage certificate sponsored by the state or not. But it’s an option out there to be considered.”

Absolutely! Marriage is none of the governments business. CH
ReplyDeleteAgreed and about 99% of everything else. :)
DeleteExactly the thought I had. Just how would the feds establish a federal bureaucracy to issue marriage licences in every county nationwide? Any such bureaucrats would be about as popular as revenuers during prohibition. What are they going to do, assign a Secret Service agents to guard them 24 - 7? Like I said this isn't over yet. If there is any single failure of these leftist it's failing to grasp the concept of unintended consequences.
ReplyDeleteI pray you are correct Sir. Now to put limits on these corrupt judges.
DeleteAll the lower Federal courts are established by acts of Congress. They can be disestablished the same way. Not that I thing any, I repeat any, of theso called Republicans in Congress have that kind of balls to even try.
