I think you’re forgetting who is in power now.

I’d be willing to be a significant sum that a Supreme Court, with a 6 to 3 liberal edge after Obama appoints a couple, will ignore previous law and declare that all states must recognize any other state’s marriage. This will take place before the 2016 elections.

Or for that matter, I won’t be surprised if the Court declares prohibition of gay marriage unconstitutional. If the Iowa Supreme Court can do so, why not the US Supreme Court?

SupremeCourt will “bend over” at some point.

This week alone the gay agenda’s main objective doubled its win total. Two states gone, with the entire movement revved up to topple more. Where do we hold them? (no comments on that last line).

What the right side of the culture war needs is a new way of looking at this. Do we defend, or do we come up with a new angle for a court case. Ideas please.

By all objective measures, Obama will likely get to replace Stevens and Ginsburg and maybe Souter. If anything those are the three votes for redefining marriage on the Court now. Some of the names that are mentioned as likely Obama appointees (Cass Sunstein for instance) are on record as opposing judicial creation of same-sex "marriage."

Or for that matter, I won’t be surprised if the Court declares prohibition of gay marriage unconstitutional. If the Iowa Supreme Court can do so, why not the US Supreme Court?

Thomas, Alito, Scalia, Roberts and Kennedy.
