RE: The voters elected this crap. Only the voters can undo it IMHO.

Unfortunately, the above only works in theory.

I hasten to remind you that California VOTED in a 2 referendums at least to define marriage as between ONE MAN and ONE WOMAN.

The courts OVERTURNED the results of the referendum.

Oklahoma had a referendum overwhelmingly approving a law Prohibiting State Courts from Applying International or Sharia Law in their decision.

It was ruled unconstitutional by a Federal judge.

It has come to a point in this country where a few men and women in a bench can overturn the will of millions of people.

You are quite correct. I live in CA. I know. We passed a constitutional amendment defining marriage as between one man and one woman back in 2008, only to have overturned in court-—both the state supreme court and the US Supreme Court. Our elected governor and AG would not defend it.

Unfortunately conservatives rarely win court decisions. We lost on Obamacare. We are losing left and right on same sex marriage. Our only recourse is the ballot box. We-—meaning we conservatives-—cannot rely on judges and courts like the liberals can to do our bidding. The ballot box is our only recourse. To completely repeal Obamacare we will need a GOP president and both houses of congress all on the same page. Nothing short of that will repeal Obamacare once and for all.
