Call “marraige” or “Civil union” a “joint circumstance agreement” or something wordy like that and then argue the substantiave points of whether people living as dependents to one another qualify for federal and employment disbursed subsidies.

About 2/3 of the way down, you get to the paragraph about how the judge signed the divorce order, *then* realized it was two women.

Oh the horror…

Which is why you oppose Brown. Right?

One of the women has to move to Massachusetts to get a divorce? Shouldn’t they have had to move to get married though? Or, were they just able to cross the border, get married, and then come back to Rhode Island? Is Massachusetts acting like Las Vegas, come on over and get a quickie marriage or something? If so, then why should there be a time limit before getting a divorce?
