You don't understand that all laws are subject to a constitutional litmus test, and that the supreme court is a check on the legislative branch? Didn't you learn this in elementary school?
Yes, I do understand that. Which is why in my state it was challenged and found to be in line with the Constitution just like the Prop 8 in California is constitutional. A gay judge ruled it to be unconstitutional in my opinion because he is biased and legislating from the bench. Many other states and judges have ruled that it is constitutional. This ruling is being challenged and brought before the appeals court as well. The judge is wrong in his ruling.
The vote should of never happened. You aren't allowed to vote peoples rights away, which is what that vote was doing. Gay marriage shouldn't be up to a vote, it should be legalized nationwide, just like heterosexual marriage. I still have no idea how your rights are being violated? Will this law someone change the way you live? No it won't, it won't effect you adversely, or take away your right to marriage, so your not making a point. Your just re-framing arguments that were used by the opposition of the civil rights movement. Nothing more than bigotry.
You can't vote a right away that never existed. As I said, they voted to define the right of marriage and what the contract's boundaries are. No right was taken away, rather a non existent right was defined and put into existence. There is nothing that specifically states that that homosexuals have the right to fit their union into the definition of marriage.
