I am wondering where the slippery slope of federal judicial activism will lead us regarding state requirements for marriage. Currently, states differ as to age, diseases, mental capacity, consent, incest, ceremony, witnesses, waiting period, consummation, etc. So far, the only areas in which the federal government has become involved are bigamy and same sex marriage. If marriage is a Constitutional right, do not these other requirements constitute impermissible discrimination? Why is gay marriage the only distinction afforded a higher level of federal protection?
Please spare me recitation of idiotic court rulings made by the political hacks and partisan zealots who are awarded with federal judgeships. I am more interested in where you think this will ultimately lead.
