I think a lot of people, including Freepers and other assorted conservatives, are closing their eyes to a stark reality: that voting and making rational arguments in the public square mean nothing at this point. Nothing. How can anyone believe, for example, that the 9th Circuit made this ruling based on their best interpretation of law? This was a blatant dictatorial act, as so many court rulings have been. The written opinion was just a formality to placate those among us who are still gullible enough to believe we have rule of law left in this country. Quite a few of the larger political issues in California, for example, have been decided by some court or another, often by a single judge, rather than by vote of the people. Prop 187 to limit services to illegals was struck down, Prop 8 to keep marriage defined as man-woman was struck down. Everyone likes to make fun of liberal California, but every time its people have tried to keep it on the right track, the judiciary has intervened.

What we are experiencing is a political coup by leftists to remake the country. This is no different, absolutely no different, than if an army of Soviets were storming our beaches and forcing us to give up all of our own culture and law, except that we are simply not shooting back. The author of this piece makes an excellent argument, but that is because the argument is self-evident. Even those making these rulings would most likely agree with his reasoning but they do not care. They are not making these rulings based on American law or tradition - they are making these rulings purposely to destroy American law and tradition and culture. They are anti-American infiltrators of our judiciary and their sole purpose is to tear down our entire system, no doubt to replace it with a communist "utopia", and we're letting it happen because we're still under the delusion that these people are simply misguided.

We are at "go" time, people. We should all be viewing these rulings, these courts, and the various other governmental diktats as illegitimate, and act accordingly. Going back and forth, making these grand arguments is a complete waste of time.

Amen. Well said. God removed from Air Force patches, bestiality legalized for the military, the Komen foundation pressured to provide funding for abortions, impending widespread legalization of homosexual marriages and polygamy and the Catholic Church forced to pay for abortions or stop providing charitable care. Unfreaking believable. The worst of it is that no one on the left can make a single logical argument for any of this, and yet we are allowing our nation to be steamrolled by a minority of vocal idiots. It is indeed time for a political insurrection—starting with a third party if that proves to be necessary.
