Like real football or that "it's soccer, but you silly people everywhere except America call it football" football?

ET and Ride to Hell disagree.

... Okay, who gave Arby too much sugar?  One candy bar and he may log in and play a round actively... four candy bars and he starts endorsing Elder Scrolls Online.

One more!  Enjoy the big fams!

Taxes are federal law.
Bankruptcy's federal law
Criminal law is both state and federal.
Moreover, don't forget that state law is regulated by the US Constitution.  The 14th Amendment is what extends constitutional rights to cover state law, and the 14th amendment is the basis on which marriage was decided.  This wasn't a matter of federal law.  It was a matter of constitutional law that was specifically written to apply to state law.
 

Okay then.  What would be considered "equal rights" under this case?  What would be considered equal?

Okay then... what about the associated legal rights and rules that change in marriage?  Are you saying the government has no right to define what individuals are entitled to, for example, file taxes jointly, have right to the assets of another person who dies, file bankruptcy jointly, be subject to special communication privileges in criminal law, etc.?  Nearly every area of law has special rules associated with married couples.  Doesn't that establish a state right to define who qualifies for those special rules?

Are you saying the government constitutionally has no place in marriage?
