I certainly have no problems with judges interpreting the constitution to protect minority rights in the face of a mob mentality majority that would trample on them. For example, just because the collective will might wish to send all muslims or blacks or gays to internment camps, I don't think that we should be allowed to do so... you tend to think that gays marrying one another is a bad thing.... personally, I think it is none of your fucking business. period. And I would love for someone to explain to me how two men marrying one another negatively impacts anyone ELSE's marriage.
Well, first off fuckhead, it is my fucking business. Anytime you make something legal, it becomes socially acceptable, and increases the use of it.
The problems involved with that are so numerous, I shall state some of them, but certainly not all.
Of course you will have your usual liberal lemming rant, GUARANTEED. NOthing new will come out of your puny brain. On the other hand, you will see ideas presented by me that you have never heard before.
1. Marriage is a privledge, not a RIGHT. Rights never require a license. Last time I checked, to marry, one has to get a marriage license.
2. Family courts are clogged enough as is, it leads to bad decisions all the time. If same gender marriage is allowed, it will cause homosexuals to clog the courts up even more while they fight over who gets peewee, the pink poodle. GUARANTEED, this will lead to some decisions made by judges to be in poor judgement due to an even less amount of time alloted for them.
If even ONE CHILD is ever hurt by this, then it makes it my business and gives us fertile ground for opposing same sex marriage.
3. You should not do social experimenting with kids. Some things are so obvious, they are true based on a legal term called Prima Facia. No proof needed. The obvious answer is assumed true, untill one can positively prove otherwise. Kids need a mother and a father for the optimum enviorment to grow up in.
4.Allowing same gender marriage will by defacto, endorse it, government endorsement. This means the govt is stating that it is perfectly normal to be a homo. That is simply not true. Again, prima facia. Its so damn obvious from so many POV's its unreal. Using the male penis to pack someone else's fudge is perverted. But even more so, the FACT that a female cannot arouse a male is proof positive something has gone wrong. The penis is specifically designed or evolved for the purpose of procreation, which means arousal must take place. Obsiously something has gone WRONG,
The people have spoken, same gender marriage will simply not happen in our lifetime, and I doubt it ever will happen. It simply doesnt go in the same category as civil rights. In fact, all of the black people I talk to say its an insult to compare gay rights to civil rights.
You seem to be confused about the "majority rules" concept. At first you support it, power to the people, OPPPPPSSSSSSS, except when the people oppose one of your pet agendas, then suddenly the courts are so high and mighty. So, who is to choose which issues are worthy of the courts, and which arent.
The Constitution simply wasnt set up to be "interpeted" the way libs do it these days. In fact, most of the time, we dont operate under the Constitution, but what makes us different from other countries is we do operate under the law. The last contested presidental election showed that.
While most thought it embarrasing to America, in actuality, quite the opposite was true. It is impossible to avoid an occasional very tight election. THe question is how it is handled. A civil society will deal with it without violence, unlike more barbaric societies.
Executing the death penalty shows the maturity of a civilized nation.
