One thing about the left. They NEVER give up. Like nationalized healthcare, they will spend 70 or more years, relentlessly moving the ball forward. See how well they’ve done with smoking bans, gun bans in some states, gay “marriage” that was voted down everywhere it was voted on.
I don’t understand SCOTUS, tho. If the people of MA, CA, LA, OH, and other states voted FOR traditional marriage, in those various cases, the public vote was overturned by an activist judge, validated by a panel of activist judges, then the law that was voted on is overturned. How is it on affirmative action, the vote of the people holds? Is it because the ‘overturner’ would be a university, not a court?
It was the court of appeals that overturned the affirmative action ban.
That makes it kind of interesting because the court also overturned our ban on gay marriage in Michigan.
Actually, although you’re right they won’t really stop, the left can be slowed to a snail’s pace. It all depends on how many blind followers they have. Admittedly, they have quite a lot these days, but the only way to maintain their following is through never-ending efforts to prop up their lies. (It must get nauseatingly tiresome for the poor blokes.)
The only way they can grow a following in the first place is through deception and brainwashing. The truth is perpetually their enemy.
In the long term conservatism has the advantage because truth will always outlive deception.

Yes, the CALIFORNIA PEOPLE in 2008 (via Proposition 8) voted to enshrine the definition of marriage as being between one man and one woman into the California constitution.
Of course the progressives sued in federal court and won. Normally the state of California would appeal that (and likely would have prevailed once it reached the U.S. Supreme Court) bad decision but THE CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT decided not to appeal. The CALIFORNIA PEOPLE (you know the “We, the people of California...” that the California constitution begins with) were found to NOT HAVE STANDING. The “We the people of California” do not have the right to appeal an unjust opinion by activist judges on what the California constitution should contain.
THE PEOPLE IN CALIFORNIA have no standing to defend what they entered into THEIR constitution. But the California governmental rulers do have standing and exercised THEIR AGENDA instead of protecting the people. In California now, the people are irrelevant—the government now has ultimate power.
