“America is dead. We are ruled by judges, who with the flick of a wrist, can overturn the will of the people in any State.

“Keep in mind, the State marriage amendments in some of these States passed with over 70% of the vote. Three judges are about to tell a super-majority to jump in a lake”


I don’t see how this country can continue down this track. Without a radical departure from this direction, I envision major upheavals within a decade.

Keep in mind that the 9th is the most overturned appeals court in the country, by a long margin. And a case like this would probably be reheard by the entire 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, sitting en banc, before going to The Supreme Court.

In short, there are a lot of innings left in this ball game.

I suspect that the decision will only affect California, since only California's state supreme court overturned a gay marriage ban.
