Here's the nature of the problem as I see it...
The voters of Hawaii and Alaska added constitutional amendments prohibiting gay marriage, but they didn't demand that their legislators kick out the rotten damn judges who perpetrated this travesty to begin with. That's the problem.
The only recourse allowed to the people in our system of government for the problem of a tyrannical and charlatan judiciary is for the legislatures to impeach them out of office. Why isn't this practice being implemented?
I suspect because most legislators today are attorneys, just like the judges are attorneys. They're all members of the same club.
Ultimately, its the classic problem; that is, "the people get the kind of government they deserve".

There is going to be a judicial 9/11 to awaken the sleeping giant. This just ain't it yet.
I predict impeachments of runaway courts will start happening within five years.

You are on the right track. Now start looking into whether or not lawyers and therefore judges are nobility!
Big can of worms you'll be opening =-)
