"Now having played a hand they did not need to, those opposed to gay marriage have lost the issue."

My thoughts exactly, conservatives have played right into the democrat’s hand, which incidentally is being well orchestrated.

So your argument is that the best course of action would have been to do nothing, to sit back and let these people destroy whatever shreds of decency, morality and sanity we have left in this state (and soon the country). For a conservative, that is a bad attitude. For a "conservative" on a conservative activists' forum, that is a pathetic willingness to accept failure without even trying.

For God's sake, the groups who have launched legal action to stop these marriages are only appealing to existing law! If you can't reasonably expect existing law to be enforced, except when it suits the agenda of the officials, then you no longer have a free society. It may yet be possible to correct these kinds of tyrannical injustices within our legal system, basically by getting the corrupt officials out of office. I hope so. But there are basically two choices left to real Americans with a spine: either restore true representative government by peaceful means, or restore it by whichever option is left to you. Acceptance of defeat and failure is not an option.
