I see the First Amendment as absolutely prohibiting anyone in government (US at least) in participating in any actions that would dissolve a freely entered into Christian marriage.
I'd love to see someone bring the right case and present the right arguments to SCOTUS to see if they wouldn't concur at some point. It's not like they'd be ruling on legalizing child sacrifice under the First, but I bet there would be howls of outrage of a similar volume if this case made it there.
A related case maybe to 'test the waters' would be for like Hobby Lobby to continue to cover exes on company health insurance under the same legal theory, but charging a higher copay for the employee, which would trigger the lawsuit. It would be VERY interesting to see how the amicus opinions get parsed out on that one.
Yeah that would be kind of interesting. Or banning usury in a capitalist country; although I think the idea was not interest of any kind, just predatory lending.
