I don’t get it. If we were talking about legislators who are voted into office, this sort of thing makes sense. But this kind of court is not run on public opinion. The Judiciary is not supposed to be influenced in any way by public opinion. Do people really want the courts to be places where “voters” can “lobby” judges for a decision? ... LOL ...

All Cruz has to say is that if he is elected president, he will instruct his AG not to intervene in any cases where a state refused to sanction "gay" marriages.

That would work for me just fine.

For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. Matt 18:20

These vigils are intended to "lobby" God, not men.

The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. James 5:16

Ultimately the decision will hinge on whether or not God intervenes. That is why it is imperative that people get together and hold prayer vigils for this issue.

BTW if you don't believe the Supreme Court is run on public opinion, you haven't studied the Supreme Court's history. They pretend to base their opinions on the Constitution and Stare Decisis, but in the end, they stick their fingers into the air and try to see which way the wind is blowing.

I don’t think these thousands of people are praying to SCOTUS. and I’m sure they don’t consider prayer “lobbying”.

Having said that, how could any intellectually honest person think that the 14th Amendment ever intended to make gay marriage a civil right?
