I've had at least 5 common-law marriages, possibly more, if one defines the period of cohabitation necessary to qualify to less than 2 years. I'm 'shacking up' now, for fracks sake. If any state, county, jurisdiction, district ever enacts a shacking-up ban, I'm going apeshit insane.
A 'shacking up ban?'... “There’s several state ballots right now, like there were a few years ago, related to gay marriage bans,’’ a reporter noted in a question for Snow on Monday. ”Some of them extend to equal benefits for domestic partners in civil unions. What is the White House's position on those two issues?’’...“Well,’’ the reporter asked [today], ”it's the legal reasoning the administration uses for gay marriage bans -- repeatedly says that the president believes in the sanctity of marriage and that marriage should be between a man and a woman. Well, my question is that this legal status is -- protection under the law is given to unmarried men and women as long as they live together --
[idiot Tony Snow answers:] “I guess -- the reason it hasn't come up is that I'm not sure there have been any shacking up bans,’’ Snow said, leaving this question of sanctity and common law unresolved. ”But when they arise, it might be time for an official opinion.’’
