    Breaking News: In a 5-4 vote, the Supreme Court rejected a Nevada church’s request to block enforcement of state restrictions on attendance at religious services.

    Alito and Thomas came out today criticizing the same sex marriage case on the basis that it has the potential to infringe upon religious liberty and that the question should have been left up to the political arena.

    I think the problem at the root of this issue that no one wants to acknowledge is government recognition of marriage. By licensing and regulating marriage, the government has created a scheme that will necessarily result in excessive entanglement with religion.

    The idea that you can have a religious ceremony and have your legal status change is found nowhere else in the law.

    There's also the definition problem. Marriage has definitions rooted in religion as well as out. Kennedy in writing the gay marriage case said it could be between two people. But why just two? Polygamy has long been a practice in human society and there are religious groups that consider it a tenet. The very process of defining marriage is tangled up with religion.

    I think the correct result would be the SCOTUS saying the government lacks the power to regulate marriage all together. It's the only result to me that makes legal sense.

    Polygamy should be legal

    if you are an adult consenting under your free will

    it shouldn't matter to gov't or anyone else

    it's pretty simple

    I'm with you on this. The fact that I had to go to the local probate court to get permission to get married is absolutely ridiculous.

    California's financially battered restaurants filed government claims Monday to recover more than $100 million in fees for liquor and health permits and tourism charges that they say were assessed even though their businesses were shuttered or only partially operating under long-running coronavirus orders.

    Owners say one thing has remained constant amid the turmoil. State and county governments have continued to charge fees for liquor licenses, health permits and tourism assessments — even though the restaurants were closed down by government orders or permitted to operate with limited capacity and dining.

    The owners contend they have been being unjustly punished for following the law and are being charged for permits they can't use.

    “The irony is, they did what they were told and the very entity that told them to close is keeping these fees,” said attorney Brian Kabateck, who is representing restaurants that filed claims against the state and against Los Angeles, Orange, Sacramento, San Diego and Monterey counties.

    I hope these restaurants win...

    Do you think just anyone can perform a marriage ceremony?

    Considering the financial rights and legal responsibilities spouses take on, it seems like a useful hoop to me.

    You dont need the government to be married. You do however need the government if you want them to recognize your marriage. I know several people who just dont even bother.

    Good Joe rogan podcast with Alex Jones and Tim Dillon just went up. Great listen. Joe made and has been making great points about social media sites shouldn’t be able to silence people. Does have massive implications on the election process.

    I think anyone should be able to perform a marriage ceremony because I don't think the change in your legal status should be based on marriage

    Joe Rogan seemed like he regretted it 15 minutes in.

    Alex was entertaining though.
