This was a landmark case in US history. Colorado amendment 2 which we voted on in 1992, was a great moral victory against special rights. In this case, special rights for homosexuals. The Colorado SC and the USSC both ruled against the Constitutionality of the law and against the will of the Colorado voters. Another case of liberal activism. John Roberts placed himself in the middle of this case. He should have sat this one out.

The reality of the situation is that a lawyer must argue for the client, and when the client is assigned to him by the law firm, you either do what the boss says or you quit.

It's real easy for armchair quarterbacks to insist that he quit rather than represent a client he might not agree with, but that would require every lawyer to quit 100% of the time.

So I guess when the "will of the sheeple" dictates that we turn in our guns, we should not appeal to the courts. Haven't you folks ever heard of checks and balances?

We are a Republic, NOT a mobocracy. I say this as one who remembers some of the more asinine "ballot initiatives" that were passed while I was a resident of Florida for a "super train" between Orlando and Miami, "smaller class sizes," and untold dollars for questionable projects.
