I wonder if he can marry more than one laptop in Utah.
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/201 ... edding-ca/ Chris Sevier says that if same-sex couples are able to get married and demand that Christian bakers make them wedding cakes, then he should be allowed to marry his laptop and demand a cake to celebrate the union between one man and one machine. The self-identified “machinist” says he married his laptop in a ceremony in New Mexico, and now he has sued to demand that a Colorado baker — who is already in court after refusing to bake for a same-sex marriage — must be compelled to make cakes for him and his computer “bride.” He also has filed a lawsuit demanding that Utah recognize his man-object marriage. “While it is undisputed that self-identified gays, polygamists, zoophiles and machinists can have wedding ceremonies, the states’ selective legal recognition of gay marriage violates the establishment clause insurmountably,” Mr. Sevier says in his latest filing in the Utah case. While legal analysts said the case is a stretch, a judge in Utah has allowed part of that lawsuit to proceed, and analysts concede that Mr. Sevier’s claims get to the heart of how far the 2015 Obergefell ruling stretches when it comes to nontraditional unions. _________________ NRA Endowment Member.

Well , when it comes time to consummate the marriage, either Pee Wee is gonna be thrilled, or, discover the limitations of a USB connector port pretty fucking quick.

*sigh* So fucking stupid.
Comparing the marriage of two consenting adults with "marriage" to an inanimate object is just dumb. The war drum of "The Gays Are Coming!" is old and worn, and no one wants to hear it anymore. "The Gays" are already here, and they're not going anywhere, no matter what anyone thinks. _________________ "If it doesn't work, the proper sequence of tools is duct tape->screwdriver->hammer->shotgun.

My rights are inherent in the fact that I was born a sovereign being. They are non-negotiable. The government can list them and protect them, but my rights are not theirs to give away.

I think you're missing the point, which is that if the definition of marriage can be expanded by the Courts beyond what the States have decided, which is the States' prerogative per the 10th Amendment, then no one really knows the limit of that expansion. This guy is just testing those limits. |

I'm mostly interested in the cake angle. How do I get that? Is there someone who's supposed to be providing cake?

'Marriage' went from being defined as one man and one woman to God knows what now.
Need a Supreme Court ruling as to what the definition and limits are. Or just let people engage in civil unions involving a laptop, sheep, 3 women, a fish, and a couple monkey's for all I care. _________________ NRA Endowment Member. How did they know my member was well endowed? |
