    In my view there should be no force of law in any marraige.

    You wanna stand in front of the grand wizard of the nine nerfalans and pray to bingo the clown thats fine, but your union is just symbolic and should not have status under law.

    The idea of civil marraige or of legally recognising a religious marraige is bogus.

    I can agree to this. But, if you're asking me - will I agree that the relationship between 2 men or 2 women is worthy of special societal rerecognition? My answer is no. I can't say that is is any more special than a relationship between 2 best friends, or a brother and sister. That's the point of societal recognition, that society places a special value on the particular relationship. My point is that we wont and therefore we shouldn't.

    "If the policy of the government, upon vital questions affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court...the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned the government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."
