Smash implied that I'm dumb and now I'm sad


Nah, just lazy.

Man, I'm glad you two aren't like this in real life. The slap fight would be funny once, but we'd like to be able to take you *somewhere* in Chicago.

As for DOMA, I do not recall the Supreme Court ever acting on any of the legal challenges to the statute. But even if DOMA is ultimately found to be constitutionally infirm, FFC will not necessarily require the Bible Belt to recognize same-sex unions formed in other states.


Right you are. Also, I did find an article revealing that the US Supreme Court did not grant cert. to such a DOMA challenge. http://www.floridabaptistwitness.com/6563.article

At least on the issue of same sex marriage, I too don't think the Court will even question the constitutionaly of DOMA any time soon.

Interestingly enough in researching this issue a number of years ago, I did find cases where full faith and credit recognized a marriage between first cousins in Michigan:

In Toth, Joseph Toth, a Michigan resident, and Anna Ganczer, a citizen of Hungary, were married in Hungary. The probate court denied Anna’s widow’s election when Joseph died claiming their marriage was invalid because they were first cousins. Toth v. Toth, 50 Mich. App. 150 (1973). “[A]n examination of Hungarian Law reveals that marriage between first-degree cousins is not prohibited.” Id. at 151. “Michigan follows the well-established general rule that a marriage valid where it is contracted is valid everywhere.” Id. at 152 (quoting Hutchins v. Kimmel, 31 Mich. 126, 131 (1875). The court found the marriage valid stating, “prohibitions against marriage between first-degree cousins applies only to marriages solemnized in this state.” Id.

However, because of DOMA, same-sex marriage does not fit under this analysis.

I'm sure Joph would explain how it was necessary and rephrase it as 'a swat on the bottom'.

Or maybe I was fantasizing about the gay sex again...
