So what if people protest? Seriously, it doesn't matter one bit, because the courts will rule same-sex marriage is a right, just like abortion, regardless of what the citizens want. Additionally, if even one state allows gay marriage, the Constitution will ultimately force all of the other states to recognize it, even if they don't license gay marriages within their own boundaries. No federal law can protect traditional marriage in this case, because it will be trumped by the Constitution. It gets worse! Once gay marriage is recognized, it will be impossible IMHO for any government agency, like an adoption agency, to discriminate against it in any way. What can we do? A Constitutional amendment is nothing to those who make a profession out of perverting the Constitution every day of the year! It's like writing gun control laws and expecting criminals to follow them. Our only hope is to elect those who share our views!

Time to dust off come state Constitutions to see what is needed to impeach some judges.

You are right when you say we need to elect those who support our views. However, it is the judges who are perverting the state and federal Constitutions and in most cases we don't have a vote on them. Sometimes, but not always.
You say "so what if people protest"? There is strenght in numbers and in unity. If people tried to win issues by themselves they will lose. A show of unity does persuade lawmakers and also gives a sense of not being alone to those gathered together.

I think you are absolutely right in your comments bout the likelihood of gay marriage being legalized, discrimination and such. However, I have a problem with your analogy of the gun control law. Are you saying that you would rather have no gun control laws because criminals are just going to break them anyway? Be very careful with that type of argument even used as an example because it follows that laws are useless and therefore unneeded because they are just going to be broken. sounds like an anarchy to me there. However. I reconcile with you by the very end of your post. absolutely the only Hope we have is electing those who share our views... and that carries the necessity of actually voting in the first place. what can we do to motivate people to actually fight for their beliefs?!

How about some old fashioned tar and feathers for a few liberal jusges by a mad populace? Has to be too many citizens to prosecute though. If we can't stop these judges at the ballot box then they should be shamed in public.
