If the Sup Court actually respected the 10th Amendment then the national culture war would be but a shadow of what it has become. It is the outrageous power grab by the Courts that has closed democratic avenues, and that has made issues that should be decided by the people at the state level into national questions.
I wish that there would be some Constitutional show-down between the President and Congress versus the Sup Court. Unless the other branches stand up to this insanity it will continue. Of course on specific issues like gay marriage, some form of Constitutional Amendment should be pursued to stop the Courts, but generally a bigger, political debate about the proper role of the Courts should take place.
"but generally a bigger, political debate about the proper role of the Courts should take place."
Each of the three branches is in a deal with the devil with each other to usurp the power of the States and the people.
