    I’m not sure what this is saying. The Obergefell v. Hodges ruling on same-sex marriage? That was based on the “equal protection” and “due process” clauses in the 5th and 14th amendments. Or is Wiley referring to something else?

    The first amendment that gives you the right to free speech. But that doesn’t prevent your wife from cutting you off.

    Of course, the real first Supreme Court would’ve been telling the little lady that she should be seen but not heard.

    I knew I married Miss Right. I just didn’t know her first name was Always.

    Local and state laws may cover this though.

    “Spouses shall make no law respecting an establishment of housekeeping, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of dishwashing, or of taking out the garbage; or the right of the other spouse peaceably to change the TV channel, and to petition the neighbours for a redress of grievances.”

    Back in the 80s Jules Feiffer put out a collection of his newspaper cartoons titled “Marriage is an Invasion of Privacy”. It includes a series of strips in which his perennial character Bernard decides the institution of marriage violates various of his civil rights, and he gets a reluctant ACLU to take it to court.

    Natural rights don’t need to be enumerated. The Bill of Rights enumerates rights. I’m not sure that the court is so much ruling on natural law, as applying it.

    Two rules for a happy marriage: Rule 1 – your wife is always correct; Rule 2 – refer to rule 1.

    Nor does it prevent the consequences.
