And...just for chuckles....what timeframe are you giving this scenario?Scenario:...The Will of the People would appear to support same sex marriage: Changing Attitudes on Gay Marriage
Methinks that the "people's representatives" might want to get in touch with "the people".
1. the recent SCOTUS ruling is reverse
2. States begin to pass Defense of Marriage -type referenda and statute once again.
3. this time, those referenda and statute withstand judicial scrutiny, with a more tradition-sympathetic court
People were dead-set against homosexual marriage for a very long time, until very, very recently, according to various polls.
People began to give-up on defensing the sanctity of marriage, as it became increasingly clear, that their own government was out to torpedo it.
Latter-day polls reflect this giving-up, if-you-can't-fight-'em-join-'em, taking-the-path-of-least-resistance approach - exhausted after years of fighting the good fight.
If some backbone were once again injected into this fight, along with some realistic prospect of actually winning, and reversing this perversion, those Polls would change.
In a heartbeat.
That is what will be required, in any Next Round of the Battle, in which the country is now engaged.
And, given that the only polls that truly count, are the ballot box, and given that State after State had formerly passed Defense of Marriage -like referenda or legislation - only to have them struck-down by activist judges...
The TRUE polling track-record (all those referenda and statute) do not support your conclusion, in this regard.
America needs to find its backbone again, in this matter.
We may be seeing the opening gambit of just such a thing, this very day.
