> your solution for a prejudiced law

It's a workaround, not a solution.

> you're acting like being insulted is just fine

I said exactly the opposite of that. There's no point continuing this discussion.



It's neither a solution nor a workaround, for the simple reason that it doesn't work either as a matter of law or in practice.

You began this thread with a deeply incorrect assertion about a federal law, then someone corrected you, then you asserted that the correction doesn't really matter, and now you're committing to ever more contorted logic to defend that initial incorrect assertion. I would very respectfully suggest that it's sometimes healthy to admit that a take was just bad. It's ok. We all have 'em. I'm sure you're a great dude. Just take the L.

What makes you so sure? Are you a lawyer?

I mean you said stuff like

> as you can be mailed an abortifacient, but you can't be mailed a wedding

Which sounds quite incorrect and absurd to me. Mailing, or even e-mailing, marriage licenses is trivially possible. Meanwhile, there are multiple lawsuits and laws trying to prevent the mailing of abortifacients and/or revoking FDA approvals for abortifacients.

I didn't really feel like rebutting the rest of your post, but it was filled with similar falsehoods and speculation presented as fact.

Zoom weddings were allowed during the pandemic. Plenty of states allow non-residents to marry already. What exactly makes it unworkable?

I'd love to. You just haven't been very convincing, sorry. Focus on being more informative and helpful, not argumentative and demeaning. Believe it or not, I'm on your side.
