#2 Someone originally felt a law was necessary to stop this? That's like a law against suicide, or against giving your money to a con-man.

What other useless legislation can they come up with?

#3 You can have mine. She's really very nice, if you like Scarlett O'Hara, as played by Doris Day with the maternal tendencies of Joan Crawford. Oh, sure, she was deported from Hong Kong in a straightjacket, but that was just a misunderstanding over a "figure of speech". I'm sure she really wouldn't have cut those childrens hearts out.

#4 Someone originally felt a law was necessary to stop this?

I was researching cousin marriage laws not too long ago, and found that some states do explicitly outlaw marriage between DIL and FIL, etc. I couldn't figure it out, either, because if the woman is still married to the FIL's son, she can't contract a second marriage, and if she's not still married to him, then the father is not her FIL anymore. But there those laws were on the books.

#6 The problem here is not the law in particular, it's the EU claiming sovereignty in this area.

As far as I can tell, there's damn little sovereignty left for the EU members. Of course the elites in Britain, et. al. are happy as pigs in poop over that. They have always been aiming for the US of E. Espeically the elites that expect to run the place without those bothersome elections.
