Marriage amendment

[Rick Duncan]

Eric: Hmmm. I assume the fornication law is already unconstitutional under Lawrence. No? I don't see how the Farris language would change that. Thus, the state would be well within its power to repeal the fornication law. I certainly wouldn't interpret the Farris FMA to forbid that. Would you?
