At one time in this country the majority of people wanted to continue with slavery, the government in an unpopular move abolished slavery.

At one time in America the majority people believed it was a high crime for a white woman to marry a black man and the government in an unpopular move expanded civil rights to include the right for people from different races to marry.

This too will pass, there will be no change to the Constitution the government will in the end expand marriage laws to include gays and once again be unpopular.

Yes, at one time the people of the US appointed Congressmen, Senators and State Legislators to write amendments to the US Constitution which allowed the High Court to end slavery and mixed race marriage bans. Now rather than convince we the people to do that, certain people and judges choose to make an end run around the system and reshape the system to their will as they did for abortion. I just can not be happy about that for some reason...
