REGARDING:
” A “Victory for democracy” ? Nope. Supreme power was not vested in the people nor was the rule of majority acknowledged in this issue. ”

Actually, it was.
The people approved the Constitution of the United States.
The Constitution sets up one supreme court to decide questions such as this.
Therefore, the people set up one supreme court to decide questions such as this.
The Supreme Court ruled according to the wording of the Constitution and previous rulings and their reasoning, as they were set up to do by the people who first wrote the Constitution and those who affirmed it every time they registered to vote or swore to “protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America.”

The Constitution specifically states that the majority can not overrule the minority on matters of certain freedoms.

The people are still free to change the Constitution if a super-majority wishes, in accordance with the Constitution and as has been done in the past, in fact which led to this very ruling.

If they do not vote to change the Constitution, they are saying they agree or do not disagree badly enough to want to change it.

REGARDING:
“The last virtue of a dying society is………………TOLERANCE !
-Aristotle. (enough said)”

Then it is good that our society has many virtues and is not dying simply because we are so loving and tolerant.

I don’t think a few gay people getting married is going to be the downfall of anything or anyone. Live and worry about your own life, not your neighbor’s. What is a shame is this is 2016, and people still have to fight for rights. I’m sure Pam BondI saw grave consequences in Florida’s future if she didn’t “stop the gays”. Maybe she should have been more worried about those unworked sexual assault kits instead of driving us back to the 1960’s.

Wonder how long until they implement the lgbt gov’t benefits package entitlement…
And morality has no place in “Murica” anymore.

I agree with commonsense and chris: The Constitution doesn’t seem to apply anymore. These folks are not the only ones ignoring the constitution, there’s our President and others. There are always folks wanting something for nothing. If you’re going to SUE, then you should PAY THE LAWYERS!!. Why should we (the tax payers have to pay)?

You don’t get it both ways, either all citizens have rights or no citizens have rights. The State ignorantly decided to fight to keep voters voting and lost fair and square. Time to pay up for mistakes. Perhaps Bondi should think about what law-suits should be fought and which shouldn’t before entering a battle.

A “Victory for democracy” ? Nope. Supreme power was not vested in the people nor was the rule of majority acknowledged in this issue. Another judge perverting the constitution to fit behavior instead of the other way around.
If theres not a secret agenda to destroy our contry (to me it’s already destroyed) when the government supports a very small percentage over a large majority then it’s just coincidental ?
