Why are the people not free to preserve their understanding of family in a state's highest law? Why is that unconstitutional? The Left does not believe in democracy and the rule of law and this was pointedly demonstrated today in Judge Bataillon's ruling an amendment to the Nebraska State Constitution "unconstitutional." Apparently, 70% of the state's residents are homophobes and bigots. Their views be damned.

"The Left does not believe in democracy and the rule of law"

As to "democracy," neither did the founding fathers, as stated in

Article IV, Section 4,

The United States shall guarantee to every state in this union, a republican form of government,

A "republican form of government" is not a democracy.

As to the "rule of law," Alexander Hamilton states, “A constitution is, in fact, and must be regarded by the judges as, a fundamental law.

“No legislative act, therefore, contrary to the Constitution, can be valid. To deny this would be to affirm that the deputy is greater than his principal; that the servant is above his master; that the representatives of the people are superior to the people themselves; that men acting by virtue of powers may do not only what their powers do not authorize, but what they forbid.”

You are going to be damn glad when the Muslims are the majority in this country and they wish to abolish Christianity that the Constitution consisting of Article VI, Section 3 (no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States) and Amendment I (Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;) are the "RULE OF LAW."
