I think in the instances you mentioned it was voted on by our elected officials, not mandated by judges (although don't try and tell me the Yanks fought to end slavery)

    Why does it have do be voted on. Isnt it more an interpitation of the current law? Which would be a judges job. There isnt a law banning gay marriages as far as i know.
