[ link to davidsimpson.com] Says Simpson, “In light of the Supreme Court’s actions, I believe that the best way to protect marriage is to divorce marriage from government. I am asking the governor to recall the legislature so that legislation may be immediately considered to remove state and local officials from the process of issuing marriage licenses. In its place, the process of issuing a certificate of marriage will be performed by any willing clergy member consistent with their conscience and in respect for our culture and our heritage. For those who do not wish to have a religious ceremony, any authorized notary may approve a certificate.” Simpson added, “I cannot and I will not sit idly by while unelected judges redefine the sacred institution of marriage and force our county and state officials to violate their most cherished beliefs. Marriage is a divinely instituted tradition as old as humanity. Government marriage is just another government program and a modern failure. Government has cheapened it, redefined it, and parceled it out for profit. As a Christian, I call on every Texan to reject this aberration and contact the governor to take swift action to end it.” Hmmm. Wonder what will become of this. Justitiae soro Fides |

I like all of these ideas coming out. It's going to be up to Abbott to do something. Tom DeLay wants to call a special session. |

Why is it that marriage is typically a religious ceremony, but to get divorced it becomes a government situation. Just leave it all to the religions and notaries. Government should have nothing to do with people's love and relationships. "I killed the bank." - Andrew Jackson |
