SCOTUS Scenario #1

[MyRescueKittehRocks]

What I believe should happen? Option 1. What I think would happen? Option 2.

Option 1 would rape states rights, while Option 2 allows gay marriage to slowly insert itself across the country state by state.

Equal rights trump states rights.

While I believe in equal protection under the law, states rights trump and natural law trumps states rights. In other words option 2. The  Federal government has NO right to encroach upon this most personal of human matters. The states will ban it. Even the ones who the judges have forced it upon the people against the will of the people (California). Indiana's soon coming ban will be upheld.

So surely you believe heterosexual marriage should be prohibited in a state if the state desires to prohibit it, yes?

And sorry to tell you, but the numbers suggest that Californians are now opposed to constitutional bans on gay marriage, contrary to four years ago.  Your side's position of this issue is becoming less popular each year, and that support is not expected to reascend.

The trend is not in your favor. It's in mine. There's a reason gay marriage don't work. The whole of history bears that out. The reason gay marriage is even bantered about is because we are so liberal about divorce.
