[QUOTE="Pommer, post: 75899150, member: 231908"] The great thing about societies is that they’re allowed to change and grow and make mistakes and learn from them and change and grow some more. Back when churches had more power in our society, they made sure that the social mores were rigidly enforced, the Constitution notwithstanding. That influence peaked in 1920 with the passage of the Volstead Act (Prohibition, (for the peanut gallery)), after that well intentioned debacle the church largely exited politics for 50 years. If we’re going by Scalia and his brethren that’d be a “no”. Scalia’s whole career on the Court was based on “if it’s not written in the Constitution, don’t expect us to go hunting for it in between the lines”; he’d would have been fine* with abortion and SSM if it got written down in Amendments. *as an Associate Justice, not politically or personally.
