According to this AP report, a California man's fiance AND the California man himself decided he's going to take her last name when they get married.
To further drive the point home, she told...uh, I mean they both contacted the ACLU - the organization famed for its defense of child molesters & communists - who is suing on their behalf.
The basis? Why, his 14th Amendment rights have been violated. Specifically, the "equal protection" clause. Let's look at it, shall we?
Section. 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Ah, yes, I can see exactly where this applies constitutionally! Wait, no, it's the other thing: I can't see it at all.
Of course there's nothing in the Constitution stating, one way or the other, whether this is legal.
You'd think the fact there are no laws restricting a man changing his name when he marries, that it would be a simple matter of addressing it on the state level. But no, this guy needs to take exception to the U.S. Constitution because his wife said...I mean they want to make it easier for other men - who are presumably too shy too defend their rights - to take their wife's name.
Well, at least there's no question who wears the pants in this relationship.
