Quote from: Governor Afleitch on February 23, 2006, 05:21:34 PM
States should control and enforce their own marriage laws should they so wish.

What the states should be able to do is completely irrelevant. Only what they can do matters.

Although I'm aware of the "public policy exception," I have no clue what case it stems from. Care to enlighten?
