Like it or not, Kasich is correct. A 5-4 decision from the Supreme Court made this the law of the land. It can only be undone by the Supreme Court or by amendment.

We need to focus on the next battle: religious freedom. People and institutions should be able, based upon beliefs, to only recognize traditional marriage. This is a very winnable position, and has majority support in the polls.

This underscores the importance of the Supreme Court in the next Presidential election. The next Pres will pick at least one justice (Ginsberg, who can’t live forever). It is essential that this seat be filled with a Republican
appointee.

Why Kennedy and Souter where Republican appointees and let’s not forget the great waffler and re writer John Roberts.

A 5-4 decision where two of the justices were, by federal law, required to recuse themselves for reason of a conflict of interest. Two justices officiated same sex “marriages.”

This 5-4 decision has neither merit nor legitimacy. No thinking American should recognize it as being a valid ruling.

Actually, it can be undone by the executive and legislative branches ignoring the ruling. The SC doesn’t have ultimate power.
