A National Majority Now Disagrees With The Theocons About Gay Marriage

[SMCengineer]

Good gracious, go get married and spare us all your gay agenda. Look for me in the "I'm straight and proud" march...

If it's such a majority, then why are you for activist judges going against the vote of the people? You mentioned about the past racial issues, but minorities don't have a choice, you do.

Will this post get me banned, like the ******* banning last time?

...because our system is not set-up as a democracy. There are checks and balances for every branch of government and that includes the branch "of the people."

Lol, not exactly Blome. There is no branch "of the people". Oddly, the Court in this decision has basically said:

The people cannot vote upon the rights of others. Therefore we will not allow the referendum vote to prohibit gay marriage.

The key there is that the courts intervened and said that the people cannot vote to prohibit RIGHTS.

At the same time, the same courts allow people to vote to prohibit gun rights ad nauseum. Owning a gun is the freaking SECOND amendment. There is no marriage amendment (gay, straight, or otherwise). Yet, the bs California Court sees fit to uphold gun bans and allow gay marriage. They are effectively taking away one core constitutional right and creating one that did not ever exist.

If they want to allow gay marriage, fine. Using the same logic, however, they have to overturn every single gun ban in this country.

I didn't mean that literally, hence the quotes, but the voice of the people is certainly an aspect of government that can't be aloud to have free rein. Just as there are checks and balances protecting the people from the goverment becoming tyrannical there are also checks and balances to protect the government from the people voting themselves into a tyrannical state.
