Studies have shown that divorce has a deleterious affect on children as well. Does that raise divorce to a Constitutional issue?
This case should be decided on Constitutional grounds. Marriage is a state issue, not a federal one. The people of California decided that they don't want same sex marriage. Therefore same-sex marriage is and should continue to be illegal in the state.
And in every state, whether or not there is a vote on it, gay “marriage” is not legal. All the votes do is confirm the already existing law. Gay “marriage” has never been legal, anywhere.
I get so frustrated that the left constantly glosses over facts like these, and manages to thus instate laws that never existed, in the guise of “turning back” laws.
A true repeal of “don’t ask, don’t tell” would have been to go back to when recruiters *would* ask, and affirmative answers kept people out of the military.
It goes like this: the left wants to change existing culture and laws. So they start making a big noise about it.
People get worried, and decide to hold a vote to maintain the existing culture and laws. The vote overwhelmingly passes.
The leftists then start howling about discrimination and take the confirmative law to court. Leftist judges on the court agree; they invalidate the voter referendum—and the pre-existing law in one fell swoop.
The leftists get what they want, against the will of the majority of people who desire to maintain a civil society.
I wish the lawyers involved would stop falling for these leftist games.
