Polls can be bias, either way, even if the majority does not agree with the words of God, it still does make the majority right does it?
No. The purpose of the Constitution was to protect the rights of
ALL, not the majority. One problem that the "Founding Fathers" found out about states, when it came to protecting the rights of its citizens was that they thought that the majority could suppress the minority.
But what we are seeing is a few judges, including the Supreme court judges, federal judges and state attorney generals all overriding what the voters had already decided into law, which is also preexisting law of certain states constitutions.
State Constitutions do not over ride the U.S. Constitution. Judges are seeing that gays should have the same protection under the U.S. Constitution that every other citizen has, and they are by all means "lawfully" correct.
So what happened to a government by the people, and for the people, if the voice and choices of the people, including the laws they have already voted on and established into law (based on good Bible based morals) is just cast aside to further a corrupt governments ungodly agenda?
I would imagine that there were people making this same argument when women were given the right to vote or slavery was stricken down. You seem to feel that we are a "democracy" where a simple majority rules, this is incorrect. We are a Constitutional Republic and Representative Democracy. The Constitution protects the minority from the majority.
When a government thinks it can do as it pleases, above and beyond the wishes of the people, even putting it's ideals, morals, and laws above that of Almighty Gods, then people ought to be concerned.
The judges are not "doing as it pleases", at least most aren't. They are making rulings based on what the U.S. Constitution grants to all citizens and the spirit of the Declaration declares.
Declaration of Independence:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident,
that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness..."
Preamble of the U.S. Constitution:
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
Amendment 14
Section 1.
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.
No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
In essence, when the majority votes to deny a minority, (gays), the same privileges which are afforded to the majority, the judges must act to protect the minority. That has not been the case in many, many instances in our nation's past but that does not make the judges incorrect in their interpretation of those laws.
