BUT, rather than allow those laws to be repealed democratically by the representatives of the people this court determined to overthrow them in one fell swoop because they were impatient with the American people's speed in accepting the agenda OR they were afraid that their arguments were losing the democratic debate.

Why would they be impatient or afraid of the democratic debate?

Not only have most of the state legislatures removed sodomy laws from the books...and most courts struck down sodomy laws....but polls show a majority of Americans oppose them.

If anything, the Supreme Court made this decision because they knew they were on the winning side..when it came to the democratic process.

No they are not. Citizens regularly repeal homosexual special rights statutes by referendum. The supreme court are on the wrong side of the democratic process.

Consider why was this not voted on by the citizens of texas as a referendum or even by their representatives? Because the majority wanted and accepted the prohibition.

That is not their call to make. It is not their duty, and they have not been delegated the power, to short-cut the democratic process or make decisions based on what they THINK the people want or need.
