The function of marriage legally is definable and defined


Actually, the USSC redefined the legal definition of marriage and Federalized it, taking away the State's rights under a misrepresentation of the 14th and ignoring the 10th Amendment, imho of course.

Gov't not being in the marrying business altogether would end all problems though and create jobs for lawyers. Maybe even decreasing the injury and tort business, with all the new contract business they'd get.

They federalized the definition (and didn't say it couldn't be defined) to reflect the 14th amendment and due process ruling. They didn't claim it was undefinable.

Reasonable people can disagree over the application of the equal protection and due process overriding the 10th. The two of us do. That's not the same as the state can't define marriage.
