It has nothing to do with gay. It has everything to do with the legislature hijacking power from the judiciary by writing new laws.

You do realize that that is the job of the legislature, right?

Sure. The job of the state legislature is to preempt the judiciary by passing new state laws anytime a ruling on federal statutes is imminent. Like when Oklahoma passed the anti-Sharia laws. That was a good use of time. Judiciary couldn't have ruled against hypothetical Sharia-law without assistance from the legislature. 

Uh, yes, they could have. Remember the Establishment Clause? And I'm not sure what you mean by your thing on "preempting the judiciary". Could you explain that more simply, please?
