The book is available there for free -- there are some articles that some many not agree with politically, so pick the chapters you want to read first :)
This might depend on the level of service you pay for, or perhaps what actually goes down. I've had access to GitHub enterprise while github.com was down.
This one reminds me of The Story of Mel <http://catb.org/jargon/html/story-of-mel.html>;
It shouldn't make a difference whether or not someone is married... you know, equal protection under the law. The solution to things like survivor benefits and the others you mentioned (and you're right, Amash doesn't mention this solution) is to simply have private contracts that people decide upon themselves.
"If he opposed DOMA, and instead introduced legislation to abolish all government recognition of marriage, I'd give him kudos for that!"
Agreed.
Do you really like actual libertarianism? You know, judging people in categorized groups instead of as individuals isn't very libertarian of you.
"I believe in the sanctity of traditional marriage, and I oppose government efforts to redefine this private, religious institution."
This seems like a safe way of him saying that the government should not have any say in what constitutes a marriage, but that he is personally against it. There's nothing wrong with disliking something, but not wanting to force your will onto others.
