Supporters of banning gay marriage won two major court rulings Friday, with a federal appeals court reinstating Nebraska's voter-approved ban on same-sex marriage and the Tennessee Supreme Court ruling that voters should have a say on the issue.Gosh, so, contrary to what Republicans claim, America's courts really are independent and do evaluate issues based on the merits, and sometimes they come down on the side of the guys you like and sometimes they come down on the side of the guys you don't like.
Last week, the highest courts in two others states also dealt gay rights advocates setbacks. The New York court rejected a bid by same-sex couples to win marriage rights, and the Georgia court reinstated a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage there.
Who could ever have imagined that the framers of the Constitution and the founders of our country actually got it right?
