So The Supreme Court Is Going To Decide The Constitutional Question Of Gay Marriage?

No, it won't. The Supreme Court can say whatever it likes, but it lacks the power to alter or "update" a Constitution that leaves marriage (and most other matters) to the citizens of the several states to deal with however they wish. It's shameful that so many Americans clamor for these nine federal employees to tell them what to do; it's ridiculous that this matter reached the Supreme Court in the first place; and it will be an absolute joke if the Court concludes that the same Constitution that once allowed states to penalize a certain behavior now requires them to sanctify it.

Such a decision will be just another announcement by the federal government that it feels no obligation to follow the amendment process spelled out in Article V of the Constitution. No amount of flowery language about "tolerance" or "love" can make such a decision anything other than what it is: an attack on the rule of law. To the extent any citizen celebrates such an outcome, he is admitting that he is unworthy to live under the rule of law and that he prefers for black-robed functionaries to make the rules rather than follow them.

A mature, responsible person worthy of the Constitution and the rule of law appreciates that some states may choose to recognize gay marriage while other states may not. An immature, irresponsible person who is unfit for the rule of law cannot tolerate interstate diversity and cries out for federal intervention to force everyone into compliance with his wishes.

I wholeheartedly support state governors, legislators, and judges who refuse to toe the line when the Supreme Court plays God in this manner, such as with abortion, separation of church and state, flag burning, and a host of other issues that are none of the Court's damn business. If a joke of a decision comes down the pike, by all means go ahead and do whatever your conscience and the Constitution allow for. Either you follow the Constitution, or you follow the federal government. The former option represents the country as the Founders intended; the latter option is the country as Lincoln and his worshipers re-imagined it.
