Earlier this month, the U.S. Supreme Court let stand without comment several rulings by different Circuit Courts of Appeals. Result: same-sex marriage now is the law in up to 33 States. Everyone, including de facto President Barack Obama, assumed same-sex marriage would soon be the rule across the land. But a federal judge in Puerto Rico just threw up another roadblock. This could set up a “circuit split” to force the Court to rule even faster than it planned.
This week, two cases on marriage come before the United States Supreme Court for oral argument. The two cases will decide, from two separate aspects, whether marriage will mean anything in the United States any longer.
Calling indecision cowardice may seem a bit harsh. But honestly assessing the state of the nation today, on the eve of the 2012 election, anyone worth his salt would have to concur: indecision in today’s social climate is an act of pure foolishness.
The price for such foolishness will not just be that the wrong candidate got into the White House. This time, in the 2012 election, the price will be the very future of this nation.
