“The notion that a marriage can only be between a man and woman is outmoded. Times change. Our laws must change with them.”

The notion that Judges can't be turned into bio-fuel is outmoded. Times change. Our laws must change with them. Corn shortage, ya know.

So the chief justice admits he was engaged in changing law, that is, making law, rather than interpreting it. Apparently one guy trumps the Legislature and the People.

“Times change. Our laws must change with them.”

which really means ‘our morals must change with the time’.. a concept I’ve always abhorred... what does the number of the year have to do with morality? Either something is moral or it isn’t.. if “morals” change with the years, then they aren’t morals, they are just opinions. I don’t remember who said it.. but its accurate.. “Right is always right even if no one does it, and wrong is always wrong even if everyone is doing it.”
