I am not referring to a specific incident yet with respect to the U.S. Constitution. Given the rationales under which like minded state judges have read a right of gay marriage into state constitutions (see e.g., Massachusetts), combined with the proclivities of federal judges to extract new rights from overseas law, "equal protection" and the "penumbra of emanations," I see the "recognition" of the right to gay marriage in the Constitution as inevitable in the federal courts, unless the judges are checked.

OK -- totally agree with you there. I thought when you said "continue to" you meant the courts had already done so, but I see what you're saying now.
