I cannot vote either because I have no particular lean. With that said...SSM should have been allowed long ago so they could have the same perks heteros have. Long over due. However, with that said, I don't think the SCOTUS should have the right to vote it in to law. It should be each states decision, voted on by people of that state.
They didn't "vote it into law". They correctly recognized that prohibiting gays from marrying violates the constitution. Constitutionally protected rights are not up to a popular vote. The right of gays to marry is no more subject to a vote than is your right to speak freely or to have a fair trial.
Take government out of marriage and let people get on with their lives.
And resolve privacy, inheritance, divorce, and custody... how?
No. Not at all. The court decision actually opened a can of worms.
No, it didn't. It didn't at all.
