it a decision that should have been made at the state level not the supreme court. This is a state legislation.

The USSC did in this case exactly what they're supposed to, weigh the constitutionality of the laws. It heard the arguments and decided this Texas law was unconstitutional. They did not legislate from the bench.

The same crowd who is droning on, accusing the USSC of judicial activism are the same usual suspects who were probably pleased as punch when the court ruled against state laws allowing assisted suicide and medical marijuana.

Somehow I'm sure you'll find a way of reconciling the hypocrisy, but it certainly takes a special form of denial to do so.

You either can't read or you are incapable of understanding the breadth, scope and audaciousness Kennedy's majority opinion.

I vote, I do not shirk jury duty.

No the Supreme Court did not do what they were supposed to do. However, the court ebbs and flows, there was the dred scot and brown vs board of education decisions.

Are the liberals like yourself going to appologize to senator santorum now? The homosexual groups just announced on the nightly news that they intend to use this opinion to challege opposition to homosexual marriage.
