He's a very pick and choose what laws to follow. He commonly claims to be following something that was law in 1990's or older, even though it has been overturned in more recent years. I believe his main claim on the marriage front is that "you only need a marriage license to marry someone of another race" (per some 1960's law), since he and Rene are both white, they don't need one. That and they're married in their hearts (or maybe it was harts?). There's also the biblical claim that you should follow the laws of the King or Emperor, where it doesn't contravene (he doesn't use this word, as it's too long for his mind to comprehend) Gods Law, But since the US doesn't have a King or Emperor he is thus not obliged to follow any law that he doesn't agree with. Though the rest of us should, because RLM says we must (definitely a splinter/redwood kind of guy).
