Read Justice Kennedy's majority opinion . Then maybe you can write your own dissent calling on your vast legal knowlgeMarty simply rejects the authority of Article III.and changes were made to that via legislation and changing views. We also had to have a civil fucking war to get over the blacks as property thing. The courts enforce the constitution, not whatever they feel is just.History, precedent, the fact that one is only a cosmetic difference between partners and the other is a biological difference.
Okay, except through most of "history" and "precedent", women were considered property of a marriage, and black folks were property of white folks. So that really doesn't get you anywhere.
If people want to allow it via legislative action or referendum I am all for it, but the courts have no play in this game.
That happens to be your opinion. It's also wrong. The COurts have a function of protecting the minority from the tyranny of the majority.
Nope. I just think the Courts have overstepped their bounds.

I don't have to, Scalia already countered said "jiggery pokery" in his dissent.
