Permit me a dissenting view: gay marriage is this year’s pet rock. It is a hula-hoop. All of human history and all of the major religions know what marriage is. But suddenly, with wild abandon, with the intensity of a stock-market bubble (“this time it IS different”), we’re going to give Tickle-Me-Elmo a whole new meaning, for sure, and right away!!!!!

I’ve read all the arguments, and so have you. Andrew Sullivan, NRO, I’m not going to review it or bother linking. The FMA gets heavy editorials in the NYT, WSJ, and everywhere else. I don’t care. It feels like a fad to me.

I have a different take on this matter. I think a day of reckoning is coming for our imperial judiciary, and that includes not only the likes of Mullah Ginsburg, but also, secondarily, the plaintiff’s bar. Here’s my logic: my countrymen describe themselves as conservative over liberal by 3:1. The government has been tending Republican at every level for over a decade (see immediate prior post). If the trend continues, the conservative-leaning federal and state legislatures are on a collision course with the liberal judiciaries. Who shall rule, the people or an unelected aristocracy? My money is on the people, but it sure is going to be ugly getting there.
