They're trying to create a societal revolution by force of will. This isn't an election issue...they have crossed the Rubicon, and the left has gone with them.

That's what scares me. "Gay marriage" will go a long way to further wrecking society, but it's the judicial activism and "magical thinking" that will be used as a weapon for more attacks on society, coming soon. The left feels they now have the magic words that will give them complete control to remake America, regardless of what the Constitution says.

We saw the klintons use the FL supreme court to order after-the-fact changes to the election laws, when there wasn't even a legal leg to stand on. Last year, the USSC gave us "compelling government interest" and "considerations of international laws" as factors that outweigh the words of the Constitution.

Now the same people that despise the Constitution are using the magic words, "full faith and credit" to allow a renegade state supreme court to encourage minor county officials to create new laws, and then expect them to be observed nationwide under "full faith and credit". Yet if the good guys try to put a stop to this before it reache bloodshed, they're slimed when constitutional ammendments are proposed.

I'm expecting some state supreme court to shortly decide that their state constitution does not allow for RKBA. That means all the state gun control laws, no matter how restrictive, are dead, because all the guns must be turned in immediately. And under "full faith and credit", the rest of the country must obey, too.

My great fear during the 2000 ballot "revote" in Florida was the klintons would have successfully stolen the election for Algore, their stooge. I was sick at heart considering how a civil war would affect me. Now this leering attempt to usurp power by flawed judicial thinking tells me that civil war is again not unthinkable.

I think that the Gay Lobby will find that this was their own "bridge too far". I think there may be a backlash that may set them back some years.

Breaks my widdol' heart. :-)

No, it is not unthinkable. I think our memories aren't long enough. But, this time the lines aren't quite drawn so geographically. Would be much much worse. And none in the south 140 years ago would have thought it could be worse.

Our society now is dominated by two large segments with little in common between them. Many forces pulling apart...and few left holding them together. The gap on this issue is not bridgeable -- the forces are larger, and we are much further down the road than during the abortion debates. Almost no one is left out of this arguement -- and this one issue is the big bright banner on top of what is now a plethora of left/right fights. The left will keep pushing, even past the breaking point. We're getting close to serious civil strife.
