Marriage Equality: Judge Legalizes Illegal Incestuous Marriage
Conservatives warned that imposing gay marriage on the country would lead to the legalization of polygamy, incest and bestiality. Liberals pretended that only crazy people would believe that.
Because somehow redefining marriage to mean “equality” for any arrangement in which people claim to be love would in no way lead to those things.
The law predictably disagrees.
A Federal judge struck down a polygamy ban last year based on the promotion of gay marriage. This latest decision on incest is less explosive, but demonstrates the same principles.
Nearly a century after the same court annulled a marriage between an uncle and his half-niece, New York’s top court said on Tuesday that a woman’s union with her half-uncle was lawful.U.S. immigration officials in 2007 said Vietnamese citizen Huyen Nguyen’s marriage in 2000 to her mother’s half-brother, U.S. citizen Vu Truong, was void and sought to deport her. A federal appeals court asked the New York Court of Appeals to decide whether such marriages were lawful.In a 6-0 decision siding with Nguyen, Judge Robert Smith wrote, “First cousins are allowed to marry in New York, and I conclude that it was not the Legislature’s purpose to avert the similar, relatively small, genetic risk inherent in relationships like this one.”
The case is mainly interesting because it shows us how judges illegally usurp the power of elected officials and legislate from the bench.
What does the actual law say?
The statute reads that “a marriage is incestuous and void whether the relatives are legitimate or illegitimate between either: 1. An ancestor and a descendant; 2. A brother and sister of either the whole or half blood; 3. An uncle and niece or an aunt and nephew.”
The law is ridiculously clear. You can disagree with it, but if you want to change it, send it to the legislature.
Instead Judge Robert Smith chose to change it on its own by claiming to know that the legislature did not intend to ban uncle-niece marriages when the exact text states uncle and niece.
One of the bigger problems in this country is that out of control judges decided to replace elected officials. That’s how gay marriage was forced on the country.
Now all that’s left is bestiality.
