Three states have voted for Gay Marriage and I accept it as law in those three states. More than 25 states have voted against it. Some states past gay marriage trough legislation and governor signature which is also legitimate, but I would vote those guys out of office.
Still, my larger point is that if the voters of a State vote for gay marriage, then I would accept it as legitimate law. Kentucky has not voted for gay marriage and I therefore do not accept it as legitimate law and support the county clerk.
Abortion was also decreed as the law of the land from the Supreme Court in the 1970’s and that screwy decision has just hand-cuffed any legitimate debate ever since. The gay marriage ruling has been the same disaster.
Social morays ebb and flow, the country becomes more and less conservative and then more conservative again from one generation to the next and so on. This is why, voters should always make the laws. The Supreme Court is only there to ensure the constitutional rights of the people are protected. Nothing more.
With Gay Marriage being declared a ‘right’ the door is open for mothers to marry their sons, fathers their daughters, and for polygamy. All these groups could argue their cause based on the same grounds as gay marriage. My point again is that, these sort of social changes can be enacted by the voters (if they so choose), but the Supremes should have nothing to say about them.
I wonder if he’ll get in to see her, or if the liberals who run that jail will come up with a convenient excuse to keep him away from her.
