The ruling is for California, but under US law, other states also have to recognize things done in another state, so if 2 gays get married in California and then go to Texas, they’re married for Texas purposes too.
not exactly the federal law that requires each state to respect the marriage laws of other states does NOT recognize same sex marriage as valid so right now only mass and cali have this problem.
I believe that’s incorrect. Otherwise all those Las Vegas divorces wouldn’t be recognized in other states either, but they are. This is the very reason that those who are seeking a federal marriage amendment are seeking to change the constitution, so that states don’t have this problem.
don’t mean to be difficult but here is the law :
If that law is effective, then why seek an amendment to the Constitution?
i don’t watch TV much… just the news here and there… but i would actually prefer to get my news elsewhere… Even so, i will be more inclined to watch now… I supose i should make it more of a habit…
There are also many internet sources for news that are tied to traditional news source. If you do a search for the subject you should find a lot of information right away.
And that’s something I have a hard time understanding about California politics. This isn’t the first time a law has been voted by the people of California only to have it be overturned by their courts.
the STATE constitution is the basis for the CA decision. the principle is the same whether state or federal though. laws cannot contradict the constitution. it is the overriding set of rules.
I’d like to do the I told you so dance at this point. It’s from Scrubs. You can find it on youtube.
and yet the court did not order the release of the children. might want to tap the brakes a bit. austin is notoriously liberal and the appeals court is merely claiming insufficient evidence to warrant seizure. once it gets into what the FLDS have done to hide evidence and distort facts there may be a different story. there is also the possibility of the appeals court being overruled. the “hating” on the FLDS is because of their disgusting practices. those who would defend their alleged “right” to continue these are surely misguided. polygamy is illegal, underage marriage is illegal, the totalitarian rulership of these people is immoral and the exile of young men is despicable. who want to do dance at the possibility of teenage mothers being sent back to the harems of lecherous old men who “reassign” women and children with no regard for anyone’s rights and throw young men out on the street with a badly deficient education to eliminate competition for the girls? who would do the happy dance at that?
yep. and here’s a tidbit… we already are all subject to this. the IRS has even greater powers than state CPS. the big brother argument doesn’t justify leaving the FLDS alone to me. what they are doing is illegal, immoral and unethical. they are keeping these people on the compound so that they can raise them in ignorance and duplicate Brigham youngs formula by creating a people who only know this lifestyle and believe it to be right.
