So? I guess that's the chance they took.

I'm not perceiving anything. Among over 1500 posts, you've proven you are unwilling to consider anything anyone else who doesn't support your views says.

This isn't speculation. I know you're not open to doing so. You've shown us that in this thread quite emphatically.

Do you think that people who steal have a right to do so?

Nope. Just fire you for dereliction of duty.

still a bigot. the duty wasn't there when they got the job.

what you did was change the job description on them.

Yes - we are not a direct democracy - we are a Republic. However, certain states (like California) have enacted direct democracy protocols(such as initiative, referendum, and recall). State law trumps federal law unless the Constitution specifically provides for otherwise. Sorry if you don't like our system of government. You are free to amend it.

correction

No matter how many times you people keep lying, doesn't make it true. The Supreme Court declared it a right based on procreation. Therefore, under our government, it (2 members of the same sex "marrying") isn't no matter how much you disagree or claim it is.

Any legally adopted law is ... the law ... until it's ruled invalid by a court, whether or not you think it's valid and legitimate.

Though some ssm supporters persist in claiming ssm Is a 'right,' the political, social, and legal status in most states and the feds is, not a right.

Can you cite polls that show that any current majority supports any of the extreme positions you just cited?

And would you care to deny that you would be in favor of a direct democratic vote that decided homosexual marriage is legal?

That is quite the non sequitur to the post you quoted...
