The judge removed all the fluff, mirrors, dancing clowns, brass bands, and sound bites by reducing it to the one and only issue of the debate. The State issues a civil license to marry. That State civil license is the only thing the law pertains to. What is required and expected of that State civil license was the only issue. Anything that is not part of that State civil license under the law is not part of the constitutional question. He essentially said, if you’re bringing something into the argument it has to relate to the legal State Civil Marriage License and only the State Civil Marriage License.
