RE :”This does not make sense, because same-sex unions promote the values conservatives prize. Marriage is one of the basic building blocks of our neighborhoods and our nation. At its best, it is a stable bond between two individuals who work to create a loving household and a social and economic partnership.”

I even wonder about this argument given nofault divorces and commonization of divorces and legalization of adultery. I certainly see no benefit from giving same sex couples the social stamp of approval from the government that would come from legal marriage, nor the financial benefits that they would get that we would have to pay for.

I saw Ted Olsen on FNSunday (Chris Wallas) and he made all the liberal constitutional arguments for his case, He said that the US constitution demands that states marry same sex couples( he didnt phrase it that way naturally) because a prior court ruled marriage a human right. Then he made the case that the 14th amendment was about same sex marriage. Wallas asked him about judicial activism and Olsen acted like there was no such thing.

There is NO constitutional approval of sexual deviation!
