Actually DaveyB was correct in a sense. The amendment was first tossed by a state trial judge, later affirmed by the Col. S. Ct. and ultimately affirmed by the USSC.
As I recall,(going by memory only) the SCOTUS refused to hear the case - so they did not affirm, but in effect allowed the lower court ruling to stand.
Of importance here is a state judge sworn to uphold the State Constitution ruled against the state Constitution. O'conner has ruled against the Federal Constitution, which she swore to uphold, and instead ruled according to "state interest".
The rule of law no longer applies - we are under the rule of the courts and no one is safe from this horrible plague that will destroy this land.
Gays are not the cause of the problem, they are the curse promised when we forsake the ways of righteousness.
