“The idea that we undo what’s been done by separating marriage and civil unions is frankly 5 years too late. The court has spoken so we mush re-write the rules”
What if this were the mindset following the Dred Scott decision? Or Prohibition?
Those were fixed by democratic means. The Supreme Court short-circuited democracy in the SS marriage case so that will have to be fixed by democracy (e.g. Article V) as well.
Prohibition was imposed on the country by Constitutional Amendment, not the courts. And then it was codified by Congress. It’s an example of how the people and states can also be terribly wrong.
