I think they’d be better off punting it to the states, where it really belongs. Marriage is a sacrament, not a “right” to be dictated by the fed. I would not be unhappy at all to see the sacrament of marriage being performed in churches, temples, etc by clergy-a civil contract is a separate thing. Same gender couples can’t be married anyway, no matter what they call it.

I think the high court will sanction marriage for same sex couples because of the government involvement in tax breaks for married couples, etc.

I find it interesting that Rush said it was inevitable today, too. Abortion is legal and WRONG, so it won’t be the first time SCOTUS has messed up. Roberts has been bought. Must be the two adopted kids are being threatened. I am sick to death of all this and have NO trust in SCOTUS at all. Make that scotus.
