UGH. I can only reiterate what Justices Scalia and Thomas both said in their dissents... if you want to argue about minority and majority views, take your fight to the democratic process. The fact that these laws existed means that, up to this point, in these 13 states there did not exist a voting majority that wanted these laws done away with. The greater tragedy here (since these particular laws were almost totally unenforced) is that the Supreme Court is yet again taking the powers of governance from the states, and that more and more both the lawyers fighting for liberal causes and the justices themselves talk about "emerging awarenesses" and the majority views of Americans. The reason that the Supreme Court exists, and why it has lifetime appointments, is precisely because it is not supposed to be subject to the wavering desires of the people, but only to the Constitution. These activists will do anything to see their desires attained, and at this point the only hope for defeating same-sex "marriage" is a Constitutional amendment.
