But yes, trying to pull one over on Uncle Sam can lead to some very harsh jail time and or fines.

Yes shadows, I completely agree with what you said. All marriage is is a social contract between two consenting adults and when the issue ever gets to the SCOTUS, hopefully they will look at it the same way.
