Why bother voting? The judges will just come along and say “YOU CAN’T DECIDE THE LAWS!! WE DECIDE THE LAWS! WE ARE THE GODS OF THIS COUNTRY!”

We surely can make a difference. It only requires “counter-activism.”

And every vote counts in our courts too. The Mass. and Calif. decisions in their Supreme Courts were each 4-3 decisions. One vote decided to alter the basic unit of civilization.

Some compare the gay marriage cases to the Brown vs. Board of Education. But Brown was a unanimous decision that the concept of separate but equal was unconstitutional. Here, we see divided courts deciding not whether a law treats people equally, or conflicts with constitutional standards, but decide to change the legal definition of a legal term. Marriage is already defined in the law, and the courts are deciding to change the definition of marriage.

If they were intellectually honest, they would concede that monogamous marriage has always been a man and a woman, and they would admit that they want to change the definition. They would admit that marriage was not devised as a way to discriminate against the homosexual community.
