SCOTUS Refuses Gay Marriage Cases, Effectively Makes Gay
Marriage Law of the Land
by Ben Shapiro 6 Oct 2014, 8:16 AM PDT
On Monday, the Supreme Court refused
to take on the issue of gay marriage – and by doing so, essentially greenlit same-sex marriage across the nation, encouraging
low-level courts to continue knocking down traditional marriage laws across the
country. Challenges to pro-same-sex marriage rulings in Indiana, Oklahoma, Utah, Virginia and Wisconsin
have been rejected, placing all of those states on notice that they must
begin issuing marriage licenses to two men or two women.
The Court clearly wants to wait until a majority of states
have been forced to embrace same-sex marriage by lower-level appeals courts.
Then they can determine that a “trend-line” has been established, suggest that
society has “evolved,” and declare that a new standard must be enshrined. That,
of course, was the logic of Lawrence v. Texas (2003), in which the Court
waited 17 years to overrule Bowers v. Hardwick (1986), stating that anal
penetration was a hard-fought Constitutional right; the Court in that case
stated that Bowers no longer applied
because of “an emerging awareness that liberty gives substantial protection to
adult persons in deciding how to conduct their private lives in matters
pertaining to sex.” Justice Scalia rightly pointed out that the Court’s
statement was false – the state, he explained, still regulates “prostitution,
adult incest, adultery, obscenity, and child pornography.” And Scalia also
pointed out that “Constitutional entitlements do not spring into existence
because some States choose to lessen or eliminate criminal sanctions on certain
behavior.”
But that will not stop the Court.
They will wait until the time is right, then declare
same-sex marriage the law of the land. They have already given lower courts
precisely the tools with which to create an “emerging consensus.” Last year,
the Court ruled that state attorneys general could simply refuse to defend
state laws in favor of traditional marriage, thereby allowing the executive
branch of state government to completely destroy law it doesn’t like. The Court
furthermore set the predicate for future same-sex marriage rulings in United States v. Windsor,
in which, as Scalia summarized, the Court declared “anyone opposed to same-sex
marriage an enemy of human decency.”
This is the beauty of Supreme Court doctrine: they don’t
even have to do their judicial dirty work anymore. They can rely on lower-level
courts to violate the Constitution, then declare the Constitution magically
changed because of an “emerging” consensus on violating the Constitution.
And the people have no recourse. They cannot pass laws that
for two and a half centuries have been fully Constitutional. They cannot fight
state attorneys general who betray their voters. They must sit by as the courts
play legal games while awaiting the great Obama-esque “evolution” – an
evolution that is almost entirely top-down, and that will then be dictated to
us by our betters.
