Justices had been asked by conservative groups to overturn the year-old decision by the Massachusetts Supreme Court legalizing gay marriage. They declined, without comment.

I'm glad they did. We don't need THIS US Supreme court involved in the issue of gay marriage. Eventually they'll be asked to rule on some element of this issue - at a time of our choosing.

The people of Massachusetts are injured when their state government via the judicial branch removes their right to a republican form of government. When the courts are legislating the people are all harmed, regardless of their view on this particular issue. But it was too much to ask the supreme court to rule that another court usurped its constitutional powers by legislating from the bench. To do so would call into question many of their own decisions. Power is a very enticing thing.
