Only by radically reformulating and severely undermining existing protections can courts and commentators justify the claim that the Federal Constitution does not offer a wealth of family protections, including the right to marry a same-sex partner. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDiscussing the constitutional implications of civil unions with a special focus on how they might be treated in the interstate context, Strasser explains how the courts and commentators have reworked and significantly weakened a variety of constitutional protections in their attempts to establish that same-sex couples are not afforded constitutional protections. He further suggests that the constitutional protections for religion support rather than undermine the constitutional protection of same-sex unions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Strasser\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0275977617\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780275977610\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/30\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.54h x 6.36w x 0.85d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLambda Book Report\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2004 pg. 19","brand":"Mark Strasser","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47001123815679,"sku":"9780275977610","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9df4141d-aa41-454c-afe8-3df64fbd4b92.jpg?v=1751600135","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/on-same-sex-marriage-civil-unions-mark-strasser-9780275977610","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
