  • Full Faith and Credit

    From Ye Olde U.S. Constitution, here's the "Full Faith and Credit" Clause:

    Article IV

    Section 1. Full faith and credit shall be given in each state to the public acts, records, and judicial proceedings of every other state. And the Congress may by general laws prescribe the manner in which such acts, records, and proceedings shall be proved, and the effect thereof.

    Well, yes -- but the issues involved are a bit more convoluted when dealing with issues of over-riding public concern and/or equally strong legal traditions in the other state.

    "It ain't as easy as it looks," is my considered legal opinion.

    That will be $350.00.

    You ain't kidding.

    And my people will be in touch with your people concerning the fees.

    Lawrence v. Texas, from what I have read about it, makes it even more likely that the Supreme Court will ignore the strong legal traditions or other issues of public concern. I do not want to equate sodemy and gay marriage, but Justice Scalia did warn of this scenario in his dissent.

    My fee will only be $100 :-)
