Those focused on their opposition to gay marriage need to
keep in mind that even those who advocate it, or just
don't care either way, may also be disturbed by what

From the CNN story then:
"The November 18 ruling gave the Legislature six months

Judges are becoming so arrogant now they don't even pretend to be interpreting the Constitution or existing law. And they now openly talk about using international laws and norms instead.
It's been a stunningly swift collapse of our judicial system probably beginning most it's most rapid descent with Specter borking Robert Bork.
Buckley's use of 'thralldom' regarding Americans' reverence for the subpreme court hits it precisely ... except, when liberals don't get what they want from the liberalized court, they throw fits lasting many years!
