I am actually starting to wonder about this in a larger context. US senators used to be appointed by the states, but the “progressives” said that was undemocratic, so they should be directly elected. And they forced through the 17th Amendment.
And it severely fouled up the balance of federalism in the US, making the central government far more powerful, at the expense of the states and the people.
I say this, because it impresses me that a lot of Democrats in power, as well as a few Republicans, are trying to hint that the Supreme Court should not be making this a *legal* decision, but to change the law with a *popular* decision.
Importantly, federal judges, including the SCOTUS, are all appointed by the president, and confirmed by the senate.
But what if the Democrats want to make *them* all elective offices as well?
It would effectively destroy the constitution. Judicial precedent would go out the window. People like Rahm Emanuel, who knows only corrupt power, would be elected federal judges.
It would be a “progressive” paradise.
“Here we may reign secure, and in my choyce
To reign is worth ambition though in Hell:
Better to reign in Hell, then serve in Heav’n.”
— Lucifer, in Paradise Lost. Also the motto of the Democrat party.
And if the court messes this one up they will increase that problem.
The gays think it's all about their snuggle buddy but they don't realize darker forces are using them as pawns in a power game.
