I half agree with Rush here. I personally don't have a problem with gay marriage, I don't feel it's an important issue however, the supreme court should be following the will of the people and not ruling from the bench.

The Supreme Court should not be following the will of the people. That is the job of the elected representatives.

If the people direct their representatives to oppose same-sex marriage, then they should do so.

But if the Supreme Court is then asked to determine if "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" are denied to certain classes, it is a fair question for the court.

And in keeping with the 10th amendment, done at the state level.

Amendment X
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.

Without voter fraud, and even with political correctness, I doubt many, if any, states would approve gay marriage.

Life liberty and the pursuit of happiness, is not in the constitution, it was in the declaration of independence. And we do not guarantee that for anyone, only the opportunity, your happiness is your responsiblity .
