How many Vegas wedding chapels are preparing for a big Texan rush?
I don't think our new amendment actually annuls male-female marriage, but I'm sure that won't stop some Texans from getting remarried at a Las Vegas chapel just to show Gov. Goodhair what he's full of.

1. Two Points
First -- The plain language of the amendment text strongly indicates it does in fact annul all present male-female marriage and prevent any future male-female language.

Second -- A remarriage in Nevada or any other state would not do any good upon a return to Texas, because the amendment specifically includes marriages that are legal under another state law.

Me? I'm LOVING this!
