We are a nation of laws, not of people, religious faiths, or gods
If we were a nation that upheld our constitution and the law of the land the Supreme Court would never have been able to get away with overruling the will of the people and voting on a law they had no business voting on in the first place.
The same people who complain about Kim Davis I did not see respond to the duly elected Barack Obama when he ignored the immigration laws, Dante. Why?
The United States is a Constitutional Republic, not a democracy, whose citizens are subject solely to the rule of law, not men – as men are incapable of ruling justly; measures seeking to deny same-sex couples their right to due process and equal protection of the law are proof of that.
The fundamental rights of citizens are not subject to 'majority rule,' nor the 'will of the people' – because those rights are inalienable, they can be neither taken nor bestowed by any government, constitution, or man.
The Supreme Court functions in the context of the rule of law, authorized by the rule of law, by the Constitution, its case law, and the will of the people who created our Constitutional Republic to safeguard citizens' rights from subjective and capricious attacks, including attacks by religious extremists and zealots such as you and Davis.
