I predicted this long ago. The ONLY way to put a stop to this nonsense is through the ratification of a Federal Marriage Amendment.

Period.

Its not just gay marriage. This judge's ruling strengthen the case for a constitutional amendment abolishing judicial review. When a single judge takes it on himself to disregard the views of 70% of the voters in the American heartland, we are heading for a constitutional crisis. I stated yesterday my conviction judges have no business deciding questions of a social or political nature. Their only duty ought to be to see how the law is enforced and to punish offenders.

I must agree with you. I see no other way around the courts. At times it is not even worth voting because a judge will just rule whatever you voted on as unconstitutional....

You are absolutely right - but I don't see it happening any time soon.

We need a Right-to-Life amendment worse. If we can get this one too, or make it a rider, great. If we can get one to reform the federal courts, even better. I fear this has gone further than changing personalities will cure.
