[Hoot Gibson]

Twice during the oral argument, Kennedy questioned why the court had voted to hear the California case. “I wonder if this case was properly granted,” Kennedy said at one point."

The California Supreme Court has already faced several challenges to prop 8. All the SCOTUS can do is interpret State Statutes (parallel to state courts), they can't write new law and they can't force folks to accept gay marriage.

The Supreme Court can do pretty much whatever it wants. That may be the biggest danger in electing a socialist who does not believe in the Constitution president. Given enough Kegans on the Court, anything is possible. The Supreme Court is a reflection of our sick, semi-literate society.

However, I would not be shocked by a 7-2 or 6-4 decision, because any members of the SCOTUS that vote to require states to recognize gay marriage are essentially saying that the Constitution is subject to the whims of public opinion. The amendment process was devised as a safeguard against such unprincipled rulings but it will become irrelevant if the socialist freaks win this case. I suspect that more than 5 of the Justices are concerned about their legacy.

Who wants to be remembered by history as a key figure in the decline of our government's tradition of the rule of law and not of men? When the left starts winning cases such as this one, a dictatorship will not be far behind.
