You certainly are entitled to your opinion. I think it is best to give it greater consideration.

In 1896, the US Supreme Court rendered the Plessy v. Ferguson opinion in which it held that the concept of “separate but equal” was constitutional. The decision was wrong and ultimately the US Supreme Court overruled Plessy. In 1896, it would have been anarchy and perhaps civil war for the President and governors of various states to refuse to comply with this decision.

I asked for a link if you have one regarding constitutional scholars or professors who have analyzed the Goodridge decision. Since you haven't provided a link, I'm assuming you don't have any authority for your position, correct? Despite your passion, there is simply no constitutional authority for the anarchy you advocate.
