Who should we blame for gay ‘marriage’? It’s not who you think

WHOM should we blame for gay ‘marriage’? It’s not WHOM you think

Whom should we blame for poor grammar’? It’s not whom you think

It seems ‘who’ is adequate these days for the objective case.

Thanks. I prefer "whom" in this instance,too, but I can tolerate "who". In any event, it's distraction from the topic. Thx.

Isn't "who" correct here?

All of what the author states is true but it goes back even further than Griswold, it goes back to Everson v. Board of Education in 1947. Morality is based on religion. Griswold is the logical conclusion of the enshrining of the concept of "separation of Church and State".

The purpose of the religious clause of the First Amendment was to keep the question of religion out of the federal jurisdiction, reserving it to the states. The states were therefore free to legislate on the establishment of religion and to pass laws concerning public morality based on religious principles. This came to an end with Everson which for the first time used the principle of incorporation through the 14th Amendment to hold that the states themselves were also prohibited to establish religion. Everson would be followed in 1963 with Engel v. Vitale which prohibited school prayer and Abington School District v. Schempp in 1963 which prohibited Bible reading schools. Griswold and the present situation were the inevitable outcome.
