This is not a question of diminishing the bonds of marriage, although I'm sure the activists crusading for the redefinition of the term probably relish that unintended consequence.

It's about a court imposing its own distorted view of what the law says onto an unwilling citizenry.

It's about the usurpation of our democratic rights, and the negation of participatory democracy.

What exactly is the point of going out and casting a ballot for a legistlator-at either the state or federal level-if that person has absolutely no power to enact his/her agenda?

[H. Paul Pressler IV]

I am not in disagreement about the Courts wielding much more power than the Framers intended.

Instead my point is that the culture has through No Fault Divorce and the trivialization of marriage via the mass media has established a institution of marriage that has little resemblance of its original intention.
