The saddest aspect of the Supreme Court’s Obergefell
decision is the public reaction in its aftermath. Many
conservatives/Constitutionalists have just given up without a fight and have
simply bid a fond adieu to America. The left, on the other hand, has been
positively giddy over their unexpected victory.
Had the
Court ruled against forced marriage “equality”
in all 50 states, the progressives would’ve slammed the “conservative court,”
and denounced Scalia, Thomas, et. al. as jack-booted thugs and oppressors of
the people, reactionaries in robes.
It is
possible that a rational person who believes in the rule of law and limited
government of, by, and for the people- i.e. the very principles that have made
America unique and successful- might have been a strong supporter of gay
marriage, yet fervently wished that the (unelected) Court not impose it on the people. (Gay marriage
has been on the ballot in a number of states, to be voted on by the people. It
has passed into law in this way, as well).
Yes,
that would have been nice to see. But I haven’t personally seen or heard anyone on the left say anything of the
sort. Funny, those progressives who want a unicameral legislature and want this
to be a pure democracy, the “one person one direct vote, eliminate the
electoral college and let the people
speak!” types (the Bush-Gore 2000 Florida election comes to mind) change
their tune in a hurry when it benefits
them to do so. When it comes to any law they want passed, any behavior they
want sanctified, any mandate they feel would aid them in any way, it’s
others-be-damned, force it on those
hayseeds!
Mourning in America.
