How can you possibly believe that? The USSC as it stands now might not overturn state and federal laws against homo marriage, but what about 10 or 20 years from now after several Democrat administrations and Congresses appoint and confirm liberal replacements for several of the aging originalists on the court now?

I don't want the USSC overturning state laws. The citizens of that state have that in their power. As for 10 or 20 years from now, if the Democrats are in power that long, gay marriage will be the least of your concerns. As for the replacements on the USSC, only the liberals will soon retire. All four are far older than the conservatives. For the next few years, I see no threat to DOMA. But we are not talking about the same thing. My only concern is DOMA. Most on this thread want all homosexual unions including marriage barred from legalization in any state. That I am firmly against.

We may as well get used to Democrats running everything again for several election cycles, after the damage done by their idiotic immigration policies Republicans are in for a long dry spell.

Doubt it. Ever since FDR, Democrats have worn out their welcome very quickly. I see nothing in the current leftist leaning Democrat Party that hints at a change in that pattern.

You're going to get that whether you want it or not. An activist court appointed by the next Democratic president will make sure you do. Your alleged concern over Thur DOMA is well founded, a liberal activist court will strike it down without a second thought.

The citizens of that state have that in their power.

The citizens of your state or any state are powerless to counteract decisions of the USSC. If they were not Roe would not be law in well over half the states.

As for 10 or 20 years from now, if the Democrats are in power that long, gay marriage will be the least of your concerns.

Not so. If not barred by an amendment, homosexual marriage will be a major concern for me and for every American in the future whose moral compass isn't as screwed up as that of the small minority of Americans who either want sodomite partners given the same status as marriage between opposite sexes, or those like you who apparently don't care either way.

I probably won't be here 20 years from now and maybe not even 10. But God willing my children and grandchildren will be, and if the US has sunk so deep into the immoral sewage being relentlessly promoted 24/7 by the Hollywood-SF-NYC libertine axis as to allow the sacred institution of marriage to be destroyed by catering to the perverted desires of 2% of the population, they will be as concerned as I am now about the survival of an America which will have turned it's back on every principle of morality, decency, and justice that it's founders and patriots have fought, bled, and died for over the last 230-odd years. That may not concern you, but it does those of us who care about the moral fiber of the environment in which our children and their children are raised and nurtured.
