Texas Politicians...?

Are like every other politician, they pass bills without reading them. Isn't that their job? Now they have inadvertently outlawed marriage in their state. Then again are you surprised by this, they did give us W?

    The clause in question - "This state or a political subdivision of this state may not create or recognize any legal status identical or similar to marriage." simply states that you can't get around the law by calling your marriage something else... (like a civil union)

    Wrong. She is a Democrat in Texas who is an AG wannabe interpreting the clause that way. She wants the publicity, but knows that Texas doesn't take her seriously, which is why the only places she can get her story reported are in media outlets outside of Texas.

    It didnt stop me from getting married in 2006 in Texas. The law was written in 2005.

    More liberal hype about nothing.

    I saw that and found it to be very funny. What better way to "Save Marriage" than put it safely on a shelf and not let anyone get married- kind of like the china that was just too nice to ever use.
