Sure, let’s trash the rule of law for the rule of so-called “public opinion”, and not even the true opinion of the public.

So say the pink journalistas. Why should I believe anything Anderson Pooper, Andrew Sullivan, or anything any of the other closets rump thumpers say on this issue? They have a stick in the game that they don’t reveal to the home audience.

I tuned out the Pravda Media long ago.

Craig's List has job offers listed by Democrats looking for paid 'rent a crowd' "protesters"...

Rachael Maddow hires shills to pretend on Twitter that they're real people - praising her!

Rush Limbaugh get fake calls from dems pretending to be Republicans...

...and the Supreme Court is stupid enough to think 'public opinion' is real? Gimme a break ... ONLY democrats are stupid enough to buy that bullsh*t ...

Public opinion didn’t seem to matter much when ObamaCare was before the Court.

No, the Supreme Court, and Roberts in particular, will uphold the will and vote of the people on the basis that he will not want to shield politicians and the gay community from the political consequences of the voting electorate.

Wasn’t that his rationale in the Healthcare ruling, that election results have consequences, and those consequences must be endured?

Yeah, that’s it.
The Supreme Court is supposed to ignore that silly old parchment called “The Constitution” and rule based on the chic political correctness of the day.
That’s the ticket!

Yep - “public opinion” is what is killing us and a big reason why we were founded as a Representative Republic instead of a democracy - P.T. Barnum explained the rest.

“gay and lesbian couples has shifted”
No it has not! When perverted homosexuals can conceive a child with their same sex partners. They may have a chance.

It is a lifetime (or until resignation) appointment. They don't have to campaign.

The reason for that is so that public opinion won't carry sway in ruling on Constitutional matters.

Word is that DC is awash with homosexuals, anyway, so the normally skewed MSM viewpoint will be even more so in that venue.
