The man in Utah said specifically that this is not a religious fast, and in fact cited Gandhi’s hunger strikes as an example. He’s only drinking water and taking some vitamins, and he says that he committed to this even if it means death. I’m not a medical doctor, and thus I’m curious as to what medical doctors think of his hunger strike. Even taking with him taking vitamins this does not sound healthy at all.Prayer and fasting can be powerful and should be done more often, and you don’t a doctor or lawyer to make an assessment on this.
For constitutional lawyers, I’m curious as to what you think of the legal theory of nullification. He seems to be protesting more of what he perceives to be the federal government interfering with states’ rights than with gay marriage itself. He thinks that the state of Utah should just ignore Judge Shelby’s ruling. If Utah were to nullify Shelby’s ruling what would be the federal government’s response?
