Lots of things go into such a shift - first is the mainstream media who are constantly doing all they can to drum up support for homosexual marriage (I no longer use the term "gay", as there is nothing gay about homosexuality - just a giant lie). Second is the rampant and open support of homosexuality by the largest teacher's union in the country - the NEA, who have now officially thrown their hat in the ring in support of homosexual marriage. And finally, a lot of tainted polling that is used to supposedly prove that Americans are "coming around" to accepting homosexual marriage.
Mass. wants to pull the "state sovereignty" component of the Constitution - well, the idiots forget that the same concept should then protect any state that chooses NOT to to recognize the abhorrent practice of granting homosexual marriages.
I pray that if this case hits the SCOTUS, it does so before 0bama has the opportunity to restack the deck in his favor.
Well put. As an aside, the states right to "regulate" something does not mean they have the right to "redefine" something. States may have the right to regulate alcohol manufacturing, distribution, and consumption within their borders, but states do not have the right to redefine the chemical composition of an alcohol molecule.
