Funny that we demand that for a nation but not couples.

Since the indissoluble Union is made up of 50 states, your analogy seems to support Group Marriage. Now that idea would have shocked my great grandparents. [Coffee]

non sequitur.

Were you making a point that it is funny that our nation of individual states is indissoluble but marriages in our country are dissoluble?

All analogies break down at some point, but if that was your point, a marriage contract has little or no resemblance to the Union created by our Constitution.

yes, an analogy is not meant to prove that beyond which it is meant to prove: granted.

That the principle of indissolubility does not carry over to applications of itself in different circumstances: denied.

What is your basis for defining marriage? If you submit to the law, there are several grounds for dissolving a marriage. If you submit to the Bible, there are at least two grounds for divorce (sexual immorality and abandonment by an unbeliever).

Secession or dissolution of the Union was attempted and opposed on legal grounds under the Constitution. The question was resolved in a court of greater significance involving lawyers; The Civil War, or trial by combat seems to have resolved that question. I hope no one is foolish enough to want to appeal that decision.
