I think the issue of the will of the people being overridden by unelected judges and a mayor of a small city is a pretty important development in the shaping of the democratic process don't you think?

What do you value more.

1. A democracy asserting it's moral values

2. A minority imposing it's subjective morals on others.

3. Your own subjective morals imposed on others.

The issue moves from whether Gay marriages are right or wrong, to whether a few judges in Massachusets can override the will of other states and enforce their principles on the majority of Americans.

Surely DEBATE is more important than FORCING law changes.
