Yes, everyone who counsels following the law is a Nazi.

Dave. Is this a fair law? Is it even a Constitutional Law? Does it violate Natural Law?

If you had any knowledge of what our founding fathers had to say about tyrannical judges, you would sit down and shut up.

“It is a very dangerous doctrine to consider judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions. It is one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy.”

- Thomas Jefferson

Fair? We passed that long ago.

When gay couples wanted to have their coupling recognized for the purposes of inheritance, medical decisions, etc. we didn't listen.

We wanted them to not be gay. We decried their sin.

Now they have gone all the way to SCOTUS and won, where a little bit of reasonable give and take would have settled this with some form of "civil union" a long time ago.

Constitutional? Unless you want to go back and re-litigate Marbury v Madison, yes this is Constitutional law. The SCOTUS can declare things unconstitutional and void them.

Maybe you disagree with this case. I wasn't too fond of it myself. But it is what it is. It has been decided.

Natural Law? Homosexuality voilates that. But guess what? We live in a society where we value freedom to sin over gov't coercion to live according to the religious dictates of a majority.

Which isn't even a majority anymore, really.

I favor limited gov't and freedom. Let people pair up how they will. They can be sinful and I can try to change hearts and minds. Freely. Not by standing in the schoolhouse doors and obstructing court orders.
