Them darned activist judges! How dare they follow the Constitution instead of the right wing agenda. If they're not stopped, before you know it America will experience a fair and equal society.

Thank the Supreme Being, that this Court had the common sense to defend our Constitution, instead of the attempt of right wing radicals to undermine it.

At a guess, this book, by John Stuart Mill, might shed some light on the Court's decision.

They did nothing but defend the Constitution of the United States of America.

Where in the original Constitution does it say that GLBT individuals, families and groups do not have Constitutional Rights to be treated equally before the law.
