Light at the end of the tunnel?

The light is dim. A 5-4 "victory" in Washington state about judge made law regarding gay marriage, is cold comfort to me, and I support gay marriage as a policy matter. But to do it by judicial fiat is execrable, and the idea that it is getting so much judicial support is profoundly disturbing, but then it is part of a pattern of the robes thinking they know better than the masses about social policy, the ballot box be damned.

Judges are somewhat tempering their desire to impose gay marriage by decree in order to prevent a backlash that could take a marriage amendment to victory.

Nope, just a flash in the pan.
The scumbag liberal judges will come crawling out from under their rocks the second they figure they are safe again.

By the way, this is a terrifically written column from Rich Lowry.
Thanks for posting.

I blame George W. Bush for this.
