Nice move on their part. Instead of defying the law, and instead of discriminating by enforcing the law, Benton county in Oregon has stopped issuing marriage licenses to anyone.

Bet that wrecked some plans, huh?

Now, if every county in the nation would adopt this policy. Permanently. Just end government recognition of religious bonds, and reassign the legal and tax benefits to their proper conditions instead of using marriage as a catch-all.
