Quote:If everything is a right then everything had to be protected. That's the purpose of enumerated rights to guanrtee their protection under law. Marriage and other religious ceremonies don't need protection under law they need to be left out of law. To argue that I have the right to marry someone anyone gay straight racial ect would require the state to legislate and define what types of marriage are protected and what kind are not. That is what I oppose, the state has no authority no should it have any authority to dictate religious actions so long as they do no violate the protected rights of other parties. I can't marry someone in a venue that violates the freedom of religion a specific church might practice for example.

But if my wife is cool with me have ten wives (which she definitely wouldn't be lol) then who is the state to say I must have only one wife?

Exactly, the person has every Right, and the State is permitted to restrict some of them for various reasons while others, like the right to marry who you want, should be outside that scope. You can't identify every right that must be protected, there's far too many to codify, you have to approach it the other way by limiting what the government may restrict. We're losing this fight for our Enumerated Rights as it is, if we don't fight for the whole of the Unenumerated ones too then eventually we won't keep any of them.
