When I was in a Training Command in TX, one of our enlisted members found out that TX recognises Common Law Marriage as living together as man and wife for a minimum of one day. She spread the word thruout the command and we had a line of enlisted members demanding back Married BAQ money. Our CO had a fit and contacted BUPERS...who looked at the law and said there was nothing we could do about it. The money was pouring out to those "couples". |

Rep Power: 72 | | | You know......this is the danger of inbred thought.............
Kick out everyone who doesn't think EXACTLY like you (a la the current GOP), then you run the risk of starting a stupid spiral.......
And those take out EVERYTHING......
Nothing like the irony though........I mean in the very act of saving marriage from the gays, they endangered it for themselves.
DEFINITELY a case of the cure being worse than the cause.

Intelligent voters understand that to mean, no marriage-like status or marriage for those outside the one male/female arrangement. Parsing incorrectly seems to be the stock and trade of liberals lately. That's what the intent was but it says ANY legal status. It doesn't matter what the intent was all that matters is what actually became law.

i can't wait to see that come up on a court challenge
