ZitatA judge in Tennessee has dismissed a divorce case, saying the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling on same-sex marriage has negated his state’s ability to define divorce.
Hamilton County Chancellor Jeffrey Altherton wrote in his decision that he cannot grant Thomas and Pamela Bumgardner’s divorce because Obergefell v. Hodges redefines the rules for marriage, and thus the rules for divorce.
The current legal situation “leaves a mere trial level Tennessee state court judge in a bit of a quandary,” Chancellor Athertonwrote in his ruling.
“With the U.S. Supreme Court having defined what must be recognized as a marriage, it would appear that Tennessee’s judiciary must now await the decision of the U.S. Supreme Court as to what is not a marriage, or better stated, when a marriage is no longer a marriage,” he added.
Now this is getting interesting, LOL. I have to give kudos to this judge.
SCOTUS took it upon itself to mandate to the American people what is or is not a marriage.
Now they have to define what does or does not END a marriage.
