Donald Sensing has an excellent and insightful review of the legal issues:
...this ruling is as clear a case of judicial overreach and activism as can be found. The idea that the constitution’s framers had homosexual “marriage” in mind when they wrote the constitution, so long ago, is simply ludicrous.
And the court’s justices know this; they just don’t care. The Left’s idea about our states’ and nation’s constitutions is that they are “living documents.”
...And that is exactly the real issue facing the legislature and people of Massachusetts today, whether five practically unaccountable judges of the Supreme Judicial Court may treat the constitution – that is the very foundation of law itself – as their own personal playground.
The Left is trying to overthrow the power of the people, and the power of Congress to make laws, by having activist judicial allies arbitrarily decide that the Constitution requires people to do whatever the Left wants.
The majority of people in the U.S. are not in favor of gay marriage. The Congress of the U.S. has passed no law in favor of gay marriage. Yet in a blatant power-grab, the Left is seeking to decide these matters as it sees fit.
Let’s not kid ourselves. This is is an attempt by the Left to seize power and overthrow the will of the people.
