US: Governor of Michigan voids 300 same-sex marriages, claims they ‘never existed’

The Governor of Michigan has voided the marriages of more than 300 same-sex couples, who wed while marriage equality was briefly legal in the state.

US District Judge Bernard Friedman struck down Michigan’s ban on same-sex marriage in March, leading clerks in several counties to immediately start performing marriages.

The ban was put back into place after 300 couples had already married – leaving them in legal limbo pending appeal – until the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the ban this week.

In new court filings yesterday, the state’s Republican governor Rick Snyder said that his administration will treat the marriages as if they “never existed”.

and see how he likes that.

Arrange for U.S. Treasury to retire Snyder's SSN as he does not exist.

That way, he can't get paid, and he won't get any retirement benefits, since he does not exist.

Revoke his spawns' SSN and declare them nonexistent since it really came from a nonexistent father. All monies paid into is hereby revoked for the Snyder family
