Amendment One

[tiggymalvern]

Following on from yesterday's post, the people of North Carolina voted for a law they didn't understand, which means the State now officially cannot recognise common-law marriage of any kind. So what's going to happen in those districts of North Carolina that had already chosen to give benefits to unmarried couples in long term relationships? Will they obey the new state law and cut them off? We await the screaming....

I was rather hoping that the republicans would have shot themselves in the foot here, by making the law so ridiculously broad that it would be voted down. Unfortunately, that would have required the people of North Carolina to pay attention to what the amendment said, not what they were told it said.
