It is as complex as any ambulance chasing lawyer wants to make it. The
fact is, the SCOTUS has invalidated the only federal law defining
marriage and now this court has invalidated the Kentucky statute,
along with those in many other states. (man/wonan is so entwined in
the language that it is hard to separate without legislation)
The only reason this has become a religious mater is because Ms Davis
wanted it to be. She did stop issuing ANY marriage licenses and she
was legally on sound footing if she chose to go that way
Legally sound? She's in jail.
The only "political" part is coming from her.
Rosa Parks was in jail too, so what.
Her actions are religious, not political.
Unfortunately that makes it political.
I have heard from Dan Savage and Rachel but we haven't heard much
from lawyers. I still contend, the Ky marriage statute was over turned
and the legislature has not replaced it, so there is no law.
Same with DOMA.
The court does not write law, they just over turn law.
I wonder how long it will be before someone who wants to dump their
spouse, says the marriage in one of these states never legally existed
because the law was flawed at the time.
