Ireland has exercised its sovereign right to endorse gay marriage. If that's what the citizens of the Emerald Isle truly want, then bully for them. To deny Ireland this sovereign right would be every bit as unjust as denying, for example, California of its sovereign right NOT to endorse gay marriage. Yet this is precisely what has happened by virtue of a federal kritarchy that has done violence to the Constitution and decreed that citizens must endorse gay marriage against their will. In short order the Supreme Court will likely complete this betrayal and decree that sovereignty and democracy are permitted only so far as they comport with elite opinion (meaning that there is no sovereignty or democracy).
Once again, I fail to see how any moral, rational, or sane person can believe that it's better to force the public to endorse gay marriage than merely to allow gays to do whatever they want with no participation or interference by the public. Somehow, the latter scenario is deemed oppressive while the former is hailed as tolerant and liberating. I'm embarrassed by my contemporaries.
