Supreme Court Same Sex Marriage Argumet

[Anima]

Personally I don't have a moral problem with polygamy, the issue would be in how you make that into a legal contract and how it would affect custody of children etc. I don't think it's a simple matter to just say "OK now any number of people can get married". I certainly don't see how it's at all the same issue as gay marriage, once again, which seems like a pretty simple change in comparison.

An interesting statement. As there are those who contend that we do not legislate morality. So if you had a moral problem with it would you be more opposed to legislating it?

The OP continuously asks us to to play ball on his field, and this is becoming hilariously tranparent.  -So what- if marriage were so defined (would then allow children to marry - no sex implied-)?  We can either be ok with that, or void it effectively and justifiably just as we have done with contract law in the general, and how the relationship between parties and minority is handled.  The constant implication that our law is incapable of what it -doesn't even have to do, is as absurd as the insinuation that it can't when it plainly and demonstrably can.....it is horseshit from the wallet to the penis (and OP knows it , lol).  I'm surprised that this hasn't gotten the usual "homosexuality=/=pedophilia" responses from the boards.     /twocents.

Actually we do not know what the unintended consequences may be. We may speculate on what may arise and how we may respond to those problems legally. That is why the justices asked the petitioner and respondent about the impacts of their arguments.

One of the primary aspects of our judicial system is that upon making a change to one law we cannot just go and change all the others effected by it at the same time. Instead we wait until someone files suit and makes argument to it and then deal with it as best we can. Sometimes we have to let shit get through that we would not want.

If there is one thing I learned in my legal studies is that people will argue some of the most unbelievable shit (I did not rape her she was dead, or I only went down on her I did not have sex with her, etcetera) what is even more amazing is they win on that shit (the court ruled rape is unconsentual sex with a person and a dead body is not a person, court ruled that rape is penile penetration and cunnilingus does not constitute penile penetration).
