Trestin Meacham, a young man who combines a deep belief that same sex couples should not be allowed to marry with a weak grasp of constitutional law, has gone on a hunger strike to convince the state of Utah to “nullify” the federal court rulings which have made same sex marriage legal in the state for more than two weeks. “You can start a blog and you can complain on social networks until you’re blue in the face and nothing will happen but actions speak louder than words and I’m taking action,” says Meacham. Unfortunately for Meachem and his body – but good for constitutional government in general and the integrity of the state – states cannot nullify federal laws or judicial rulings. So far Meachem says he’s lost 25 pounds.
