There's no way THIS can go wrong...

The 2010 California Marriage Protection Act would follow up on Prop 8, by amending the state constitution to ban divorce in the State of California.  According to the author John Marcotte, this would be the best way to defend traditional marriage, and naturally all the people who voted for Prop. 8 will vote for this one, since they really just want to defend marriage.  After all, voting for Prop. 8 and not 2010CMPA would make them a bunch of homophobic hypocrites right?

The only problem with this joke is it may actually get on the ballot, and hen we'll end up with divorce being illegal in California.  And then we'll be dealing with swarms of Republicans screaming because they suddenly can't divorce...hm.  Maybe Mr. Marcotte has something here.

Let's start a movement to get polygamy legalized!

Well I think the next move will be a bill requiring all women above the age of 25 to be married (with a cumulative 1000 dollar a day fine for every day not married). And then maybe a requirement that all legal wedding be performed by Church of Latter Day Saints ministers.

At some point, people WILL say, "OK, this is getting silly and stupid." Right? RIGHT?

Yep. A dangerous joke. Like Palin for president.

I don't think I'll ever forgive National Lampoon for that prank.

As one newsperson commented, will California then recognize divorces performed in other states?
