1598. States have always had an enormous amount of power over marriage recognition...

Edited on Sat Jun-18-11 05:48 AM by WillParkinson

Really? How many get to vote on different types of marriage? I don't recall ever being allowed to vote on interracial marriage, intergenerational marriage, marriage for the elderly, etc.

When we start to vote on everyone's rights THEN perhaps we can discuss things like this.

Please don't trot out state rights here. Interracial marriage was NOT won because all the states got to make up their own minds.
