The law wasnt debated. The state brought in a law by fiat and was obliterated by a lady called Edith Windsor. She legalised gay marriage by invoking her rights.
Legislature can introduce legislation. They dont make laws. Laws are discovered not mandated.
I asked you how gay marriage was legalised in the US. You didnt answer. Yet you are saying that laws are made by the legislature. Im sitting here beside a lawyer (my better half) have a good giggle.
Im not making a case against decentralised law. Common law is exactly that. There is no written down law. Each case/dispute is judged on its merits and with the knowledge of previous similar cases.
thats true. We had what was called a Brehon Law system here in Ireland based on private contract based on the issuing of bonds. It probably the best libertarian example. It failed.
The question Joe needs to answer is why gay marriage is legal in the US.
British Common Law is the greatest creation of man kind. Law is discovered not made. Thats why the English speaking people have to stop the rest from ruining the world every few decades.
haha maybe. My point(badly made)is that poor people can make costly signals too. Here in Dublin you have to go to high welfare areas to see people wearing Canadian Goose jackets @ €1300
Whereas a wealthy man like Luke Dash Jr doesnt go to the dentist
More like a lambo is a signal of fitness in that it shows you have excess resources at your command but it could also be corrupted by people who want to look fit at the expense of other parts of their life
