Now where were we?
unofan - if the Court won't address/validate that a marriage in Massachusetts is a marriage in Mississippi when it comes to ssm, will that give a loophole to a state that may have a different minimum marriage age to say the Mike and Sally are not married and can Mike be arrested for child endangerment?
To me Solomon's choice is to allow States to regulate marriage as they seem fit but recognize that any legal marriage is a legal marriage in all the States. It's a win/win for all sides.
Otherwise I am afraid that Pandora's box has been opened and every form of marriage will be legal as long as the plaintiffs can make a 14th Amendment case.
