Does this mean that the gay activists will accept the right of each state to define marriage?
If we’re saying that the federal government cannot legally define marriage, then will the liberals leave the 45 states which don’t allow homosexual marriage alone?
Next step will be a federal appeals court, and eventually the U.S. Supreme Court.
An openly homosexual judge is considering a federal challenge to California’s Proposition 8 as we speak. He will probably rule that California has no right to define marriage, so in that case, he will say that a state does not have the right to define marriage.
So which is it, do states have a right to define marriage or not? Does any level of government have the right to define marriage? Are liberal leaning judges doing to define marriage; is no other legal process to do so permitted? Do judges have all the wisdom in the world to make these decisions?
Legally speaking, they are creating a legal mess of marriage and family law. The U.S. Supreme Court will have to resolve it someday.
Not a chance.

That makes it extremely important to get a Republican in the White House in 2012!
