Let's put that on the ballot, and let the American people decide (or better yet, state by state). I'll go with whatever the outcome of the vote is. But to repeatedly challenge it in court, and have a JUDGE write law...that's completely unconstitutional. The judicial branch is not in place to ESTABLISH law. Same thing with abortion and Roe v. Wade. The courts wrote that law. It's supposed to be the legislative branch that legislates.
Very true. It has to be found in the Constitution to make law. They keep sending judgments not of the people, but by their thoughts. Proposition 8 passed, because as liberal as California is, the majority voted to ban gay marriage. The people spoke, let it be written, not challenged.
