[quote=FlyerInHi]AN, I agree with you. For selfish reasons I would rather have had a state by state war of attrition.
We all knew that gay marriage would come about sooner or later. It would’ve been fun to see a lone state holding out against pressure from around the world and the business community (kinda like the confederate flag, but bigger).
But for thousands of gays who want to get married, justice delayed is justice denied. They cannot wait another decade or 2. So the Supreme Court did the right thing.
BTW, Obama already recognizes gay marriage at the federal level if couples married wherever gay marriage is legal. Very progressive as compared to the previous administrations.
What about Brown v board of education?
Should the Supreme Court have left it to the states?[/quote]I want to done right. I don’t want it to be rush which open the door for possible overturn later. As I said, the way they did it today, it gives precedence to future over turning it if we ever get a 5-6 right leaning justices. I also don’t want 9 unelected people deciding what’s right/wrong for the country. I want to people to have a say in what they want from their country. Rightly or wrongly (to a certain extent), it’s up to Americans to decide their own destiny.
