Is it your position that society has no say in what has legal sanction?

“Is it your position that society has no say in what has legal sanction?”

Our say comes thru the ballot box. If our society hadn’t elected evil people to office, judges like Ginsberg and Kennedy would not be judges.

Congress could pass a federal law tomorrow giving all clerks in all states the right to refuse to issue a license unless no other person could issue one. Or they could take the matter out of the courts hands, or they could pass an amendment banning homosexual marriage.

They don’t because our society, as a whole, has decided to allow homosexuals to get government benefits available to married couples. Read the dissent Clarence Thomas wrote. Homosexuals have always had the right to marriage. They just haven’t had the right to government endorsement and benefits available to married people.

The problem is that our society HAS accepted homosexual marriage. I’m totally opposed, but I’m in the minority.

But this is a simple problem - can a county clerk refuse to comply with the law because she doesn’t approve of the law?
