Great! New challenge already to the Cali same sex marriage laws

[SUBMAN1]

Now on the chopping block, since gay marriage is allowed, why not Incest marriage and why not Polygamists?

Lets see how this one plays out. Using the same argument of the Cali Supreme Court, there is no way you can deny Incest relationships or Polygamists.

The argument the court used - any and all loving relationships. Guess cows and sheep can be married next.

Funny how the alarmists on this one 'under estimated' the impact this will have.

Sure. And this is coming from a state where their courts sent little girls back to a Polygamist camp saying they weren't in danger! You are a funny guy!

No. Speaking as a jurist, I must point out that a cow or a sheep can't give his agreement to being married. Free agreement from both parts and consciousness of what they are doing is essential to any contract or institution, and also to the marriage. No animal can therefore give the legally necessary agreement, since they are not able to understand what it is about.

I detect a bit of discrimination in your post! How dare you? A simple Baah definitely warrants consensual partnership! You should be stoned in the street for your intolerance!!!!!!

The state should not have any involvement in marriage whatsoever, including "traditional" marriages. This includes marriage licensing and taxation.
