...the Supreme Court’s June decision in Obergefell v. Hodges, which held that same-sex marriage is a constitutionally guaranteed right

While the courts can interpret laws to create a right to marriage, there is one thing that the courts can NEVER do.

The courts can NEVER guarantee that, same-sex marriages will ever be the same as a marriage between a man and a woman. They can pretend to be equal under the law, but, in society and in cultures, they will never be thought of as equal. A 'right under the law' is not the same as the right to be thought of as the same or perceived as the same. Courts cannot legislate that all people view same-sex marriages as equal to man/woman marriages. IN fact, neither can legislatures.

[Alas Babylon!]

Now understand I’m just playing Devil’s Advocate here, I do not believe marriage can be anything but a union between a man and a woman, but the Supremes are using the 14th Amendment to justify saying that same sex marriage is a constitutionally guaranteed right.

Suppose a state passed a law saying that black children had to go into separate schools, and white children in other schools, if only to get them a better education? The Supremes would use the 14th to strike it down. That fits the intent of the 14th.

The bottom line is the Supremes THINK they have the power to use the 14th in any case they decide, and use that part of the Constitution (that clearly wasn’t about Gays at all) to strike those marriage laws down.

So the whole legal system in this country does what they’re told. Judges issue warrants, cops arrest and apprehend. Fight the arrest and get beaten or killed. Ergo, it is law. They have the POWER to kill you—by proxy—if you defy them.

No one can defy them openly. We are already in a tyranny. The Revolution is either here, or we succumb to tyranny.
