Most of the SEC still prefers heterosexuality.

Sweeping the courtrooms.

[Last Dakotan]

Sweeping apparently means imposed by unelected judicial overloads.

The USA has become more arrogant, detestable, perverted and morally bankrupt than Sodom and Gomorrah ever were.

[EternalVigilance]

Judicial tyranny, unchecked, unbalanced by officers of the other branches.

It’s a rebellion against God and nature, and a coup d’etat against the people of the United States.

[PGR88]

As far as I can see, every single move towards same-sex marriage has been due to COURTS.

Sorry to say it, but reform seems impossible. We need a major financial and dollar collapse, to stop the fiat money printing, debt-issuing, interest-rate-controlling-Fed from supporting Progressive, centrally-planned government. Maybe we can rebuild from there. I don’t know.

I see no other way

When brought to a vote of the people, they were eliminated at every turn.

But a few judges feel differently, apparently.

[RckyRaCoCo]

I don't think the Founders ever envisioned a handful of hand-picked federal judges over-turning the will of millions of people that voted for traditional marriage.

(Prop 187 in CA. was yet another in a long line of test cases on judicial activism vs. the will of the people, the Feds killed it, the people capitulated to the power of their overlords, and it simply died on the vine)

Even the most flaming progressive probably can't believe they are getting away with it...and(more importantly)it gives them the incentive to see what else they can "fundamentally transform"...in the face of what has become a feckless/weak opposition.

[Timber Rattler]

Not by law and the will of the people, but dictatorial judicial fiat.

[capydick]

What I don't understand is - in most of these States, same sex marriage was prohibited via the ballot box, which was subsequently overturned by legal challenges each and every time.

Marijuana legalization was also legalized via slim majorities at the ballot box yet - I havent heard of one legal challenge to the initiative and it's implementation.

Why is it that each and every same sex marriage initiative was challenged and over turned and not one legalized marijuana initiative?

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

We need a Federal Marriage Amendment to stop judges from legislating.

[madprof98]

Rush pointed out today that election results do not matter one bit when it comes to advancing the liberal agenda. It simply goes on, and nobody has the will to stop it.

“Nor does the sexual promiscuity of Brave New World seem so very distant. There are already certain American cities in which the number of divorces is equal to the number of marriages. In a few years, no doubt, marriage licenses will be sold like dog licenses, good for a period of twelve months, with no law against changing dogs or keeping more than one animal at a time. As political and economic freedom diminishes, sexual freedom tends compensatingly to increase. And the dictator (unless he needs cannon fodder and families with which to colonize empty or conquered territories) will do well to encourage that freedom. In conjunction with the freedom to daydream under the influence of dope and movies and the radio, it will help to reconcile his subjects to the servitude which is their fate.”

— Aldous Huxley, 1946
