Do the states have the right to outlaw same-sex marriage?
Not long ago the question would have been seen as absurd. For every state regarded homosexual acts as crimes.
Moreover, the laws prohibiting same-sex marriage had all been enacted
democratically, by statewide referenda, like Proposition 8 in
California, or by Congress or elected state legislatures.
But today rogue judges and justices, appointed for life, answerable
to no one, instruct a once-democratic republic on what laws we may and
may not enact.
