NJ Gov. Christie Vetoes Gay Marriage Bill

Hoot Gibson Wrote:Wrong (again), RV. This issue has nothing to do with science or religion. [COLOR="Red"]Gays and lesbians have no special constitutional right to redefine marriage as they see fit over the objections of the majority. My position is that this is a legislative issue and if states want to broaden the definition of marriage to include any two adults, then they currently have that right, IMO - but the US Constitution does not compel states to refashion their constitutions to accomodate the wishes of gay activists and their supporters.

If, after more than 200 years our Supreme Court suddenly decides that gay and lesbian couples have a constitutional right to marry, then it will do so as the result of presidents like Obama, who have no respect for the Constitution, packing the court with enough liberal justices of like mind who are willing to drag the rest of us kicking and screaming down the road to a totalitarian state. When you advocate that federal courts overturn more than 230 years of precedents, you are showing your disrespect for the rule of law.

When and if gay and lesbian marriage garners the overwhelming support of the American people, then the laws will be changed - either through state legislatures or by a constitutional amendment to the US Constitution. Until then, they should focus on earning support for their cause among voters instead of showing their disdain for our tradition of majority rule.


I really don't know what's so hard to understand about that.
