Y'know, Hucksterby has gotten the idea in his head that a supreme court decision can't be enforced unless state law supports it. And this guy wants to be President! He apparently hasn't taken notice of the fact that states that had practiced segregation hadn't been able to roll back civil rights legislation, as their state laws certainly hadn't supported the supreme court decision in that instance.
Hucksterby now says that you should obey a law "only if it's right". Of course he defines right by God's standards. So he wants a religiously based government, other laws be damned.
"the handmaid's tale" could be his blueprint. IOW American Taliban. as a one-time lawmaker, for him to say that goes beyond understanding.

I hope he knows that if people take him seriously, then a lot of them are going to jail. They should be told to call Hucksterby to bail them out.

They won't. That's why those people are called fundamentalists...

If I get married, it won't be to a guy but I sure do not appreciate the sick notion that anyone needs a government license. Are that many people really such extremist capitalists?

I was mostly referring to the implications on taxation and the fact that lots of people, straight or not, have a wealth threshold for potential mates. I'd rather get married on the moon than in America, just because some people out there are deluded enough to think they're wielding actual power when they demand paperwork from people who obviously have better priorities.
For all care about this parlance, any girl I marry can have a harem all her own, and visit them on some tax haven island through Cuba.
