Thought to be decided at the state level. Put it to a vote. Odds are, without voter fraud, despite cultural marxism's inroads, us "country class" would defeat it in most, if not all, states. The "ruling class', who presume to know better than us can't have that.
Looks what's happened in California. The people have voted no several times but it's still an issue. I wouldn't be the least surprised if the court doesn't rule it's unconstitutional to deny them their "rights."

Me neither. The Supremes are part of the 'ruling class'.
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.
So what what issue do the Liberals ever give up on-Answer is none-why you ask it is because of republicans like you cedric who are not willing to fight because they are too much of a coward to stand in the face of name calling and presure of oh that looks bad crap--that's what he means by the issue is lost because the republicans are not willing to take up the cause of tradional marrage or morality--you Know just stay with the go a long to get a long RINO mentality--it's a lost battle if you don't see it than a Karl Rove republican perfectly fits you

You needed a reminder that today is Good Friday?
Or did FP123's reminder remind you that it's not too smart to (almost) call someone a coward on the interweb when that someone might be a former Special Forces guy?

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.
ZitatAmendment 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.
