Since my last topic didn't garner much discussion, I thought I'd throw out this idea.
Should marriage be Federalized? Details Inside.
When I say Federalized, I mean that all state marriage duties would be eliminated and be transfered to the Feds.
Pros:
- No need to worry about a marriage in Pennsylvania being recognized in Alabama.
- Simplified paperwork.
Cons:
- Takes control from the States
- Initial phase would be time consuming, if marriages on the books would need to be "redone" at the Federal level.
