When state courts usurp power it is a federal matter.

What power did it usurp?

The local people and their representatives have been overturned by an activist court.

It was a decision about state constitutionality. They need to go back and rectify a poorly written law.

Unless we start fighting with every weapon we have, we will lose this country.

A tad over the top.

LOL, what the f are you talking about. All they did was define what a marriage was. The court said it was unfair to do that. It had nothing to do with whether the law was written poorly.

The Law was fine. What the law lacked was obedience to the political correctness police. The judges usurped the law and engaged in judicial tyranny and inventing law from the bench. A horrible excercise in judicial activism that harms our culture, our politics and our democracy.

Unless we start fighting with every weapon we have, we will lose this country. A tad over the top. Nah, he understates it totally. The forces of Cultural Socialism will destroy faith, family and freedom if not checked! We must man the barricades! Stop the Socialists! Even that is fairly calm and objective ... Over the top would be: "Death to Tyrants!!!"
