It has been on several state ballots or been decided by the duly elected state legislatures. The problem is the judicial oligarchy has always overruled the will of the people.
"We are learned judges! You peons must be rules by your betters!"
“rules” = “ruled”
See, that’s what pisses me off. The people of California voted against gay “marriage” but some liberal judge overturned it. What gave him the right to overrule the will of the people? What the hell is going on here?
