This is exactly what I have been saying since long before the ruling ever got to the supreme court.
The supreme court has never, and will never, have the right to make or change laws. If they did, we would be Nazis with one court of a few judges deciding everything and have no need for legislators.

If we are going strictly by what the law books read, this clerk has been falsely imprisoned and continues to be. As Scalia stated in his dissent, the supreme court should have never accepted the case as it does not pertain to them.
They are supposed to interpret the law. The law was clearly defined as one man and one woman. They did not have the authority to do that. They should have denied the case and told the plantiffs they needed to talk to there local congressmen about changing the laws.

IMHO, and I mean this with every breath in me, those judges on the supreme court who made this mess by breaking the law and going above the constitution should be tried, and ultimately hanged for treason.

That is just my two cents, and I would say EXACTLY the same if the law stated anybody can marry anything and the supreme court was reversed and decided to change it too one man and one woman. They would have no authority to do so without legislators changing the law. Those senators and congressmen represent the people. This is not a civil problem. Nobody can prove anyone is gay at birth and without the proof, the science community can only agree that for now, it is a choice, no matter how much they want to lie. Those who scream about discrimination obviously don't understand that blacks had no choice when it came to skin color. These are two separate and entirely different issues.
Im extremely curious as to what would happen if the republicans take the white house, the complete majority, and have all the authority in the country to make laws. Are those on the supreme court still going to tell them they are wrong and cant do it? Its eventually coming to a head because we have too many loose laws in this country without an exact definition that are too often let up to a bias court making the ruling.

Obamacare got passed on a technicality and lie about it being a tax.
gay marriage got passed because of 5 liberals who decided to change the laws themselves.

Grab the popcorn and see what happens.

^^Agreed. The reason IMHO, that the SC has been drug into all this is due to Congressional gridlock. Nothing gets solved by the Congress because of the two warring points of view espoused by the liberals and the conservatives. Conservatives do have nearly our entire existence as a nation to cite in justification for their stand, while the libs just want change. The SC should not be making law but, that is what they have been doing because the Republicans will not line up with Dems on the matters you have mentioned above.

Most want to blame ALL of the Congress but I disagree with them. I would analogize as follows. Let's say a man was out to sea on the cruise ship 'US Ship of State', and to his horror he finds that the crew is divided into two warring factions. One faction, calling themselves liberals is dedicated to drilling holes in the hull. The other faction calls themselves conservatives and are doing their best to stop the drilling until they can get back to port, where the owner of the cruise ship will have a chance to fire those who are trying to destroy or sink the ship. To my mind that is what America is going through as we speak.

The Republicans, though I am admittedly disappointed in their efforts, are doing what they think is their best to keep this land free until 'we the people' have a chance to change out certain of the congress and in this case, a complicitous President. Republicans certainly are obstructing the madness, but that's a good thing in my book.
