Thank you for your reply.

This underscores how libs have a tendency to misrepresent.

In any event, with respects to the Decision to allow gay marriage I say:

The Supreme Court had no Jurisdiction or Competence in this matter. It had no authority to change in a fundamental way the institution of marriage. Marriage is not the creature of the state. It precedes the state. The state may make laws which uphold marriage and give it social form, but the state cannot redefine marriage. Effectively what the state has done is destroy marriage. Marriage no longer exists in this country. The same sex marriage case has put the final nail in the coffin to end a process that has been going on for the last 50 years or so. There is no similarity between marriage as a social institution and marriage today. 

Marriage is part of the cultural patrimony of Western Civilization, It does not belong to the state.
