[Hoot Gibson]

If the will of the majority is to deny people essential liberties, what then? To me, Hoot, a same sex couple's desire to be married, to fall under the legal umbrella of "married," is beyond "political views." The general grace of God is akin to essential liberties in our society: political views don't matter... religious views don't matter: it's fundamental. "establish justice," is a foundatonal principle, not subject to the will and whim of the people. The Framers were just as concerned by majority dictation as by expansive governmental intrusion... history proves this wise.

What one person deems an "essential liberty" does not make it a constitutional right. If it is not a constitutional right, then the only legitimate way to make it such is to amend the constitution.

There is no constitutional right to a gay marriage and there never has been. Hopefully, there never will be either but that will be determined by how man liberal judges are seated on the Supreme Court who are willing to look beyond the four corners of the US Constitution and ignore legal precedents. Unfortunately, that magic number may have already been reached.
