“The Mormons (and others) tried to defend one-man-one-woman marriage and a judge has defeated their efforts.
Who will step up now?”
How can you say the judge has defeated anything when the judge has the arbitrary authority to simply pick who wins and who loses? The Dictator didn’t defeat the he simply choose not to accept their position in pronouncing his dictates to overthrow the State constitution.
It is as this article says: http://www.catholic.org/politics/story.php?id=37755
The branch Hamilton called the least dangerous in Federalist #78 has become the most dangerous and the reason is that our politicians have betrayed us in allowing theses would be dictators uses of their swords.
When the “judge has the arbitrary authority” then the judge wins. The judge won.
