“a lawless, arbitrary court opinion does not equate to a ‘sudden shift in attitudes’ among the American people.”
No, but the response to it does.
Where is the massive public outrage to this judicial overreach? Where are the protests, the parades? We’ve seen nothing. The only response is the predictable one from the “press release warriors” looking to pick our pockets.
Even most Republican governors are now knuckling under without a fight. That’s because they know what side their bread is buttered. In very few states is opposition to gay marriage even close enough to 50/50 that a politician can risk coming out hard against it.
We need to stop kidding ourselves about the task ahead of us. We’re not just facing a couple rogue judges or a handful of craven politicians, we’re lining up against a majority of the American people. We need to recognize that if we’re to have any hope of turning them back.
Right. I don’t disagree with you. But the first step to turning them back is for those who should know better to clearly recognize once again the basis for the rule of law in this country, which is the laws of nature and nature’s God, the Constitution, and the sworn obligations of the oath of office.
If anyone is playing pretend it is those who have bought into the judicial supremacist lie.
“The Declaration of Independence...claims...the ultimate source of authority by stating...they were...’appealing to the Supreme Judge of the World for the rectitude of their intentions.’...The foundations of our independence and our Government rests upon basic religious convictions. Back of the authority of our laws is the authority of the Supreme Judge of the World, to whom we still appeal. It seems to me perfectly plain that the authority of law, the right to equality, liberty, and property, under American institutions, have for their foundation reverence for God. If we could imagine that to be swept away, these institutions of our American government could not long survive.”
— President Calvin Coolidge
