I could give a ****, either way, if gays get married. But, at what point can't a judge over-rule the will of the people?
When the constitution says the people are wrong, the judge has a duty to overrule them.

There's a place in the Constitution where it says that people are wrong? Care to point that out for me?

When the federal Constitution says otherwise. The federal Constitution is the will of the people.
You're anthropomorphizing. The Constitution said nothing of the sort. The judge said "the people" were wrong. The earlier question is a good one... "at what point can't a judge over-rule the will of the people?"In this case, the constitution's due process and equal protection clauses said the people where wrong.

A piece of advice - don't "continue phrases" you don't understand.I was continuing a phrase some one else used in rebutting them. That is what these quote boxes are for, so you can see what people are referencing.

I suppose the answer is... when you're a SC justice and a majority of your very small circle of peers disagree with you on what the law should be.
Of course... if you don't understand the phrase, you won't know not to continue it... silly me.If I ever run into that situation, I will remember your advice.

Oh good god, please. Do you know how stupid that sounds? The Consitution is a document. The "will of the people" is public opinion. The Constitution can certainly be shaped by "the will of the people" but the two aren't the same thing.The will of the people was not overturned. This country is a Constitutional Republic. The will of the people is the Constitution of the United States of America.

Yes, I am right. Just not for the reasons in your delusions.Oh, you're right. The will of just over half of Californians should overrule the document that our nation was founded upon.
I'm wondering why the hell the gubberment has it's nose in it in the first place. Marriage, and issues as such, should be left up to the churches, and in the secular arena, two consenting adults.
Today's whackos might think it's a liberal victory but I think Goldwater is probably doing handstands as true conservatism has risen again. Government has no place mandating in matters of the heart and morals of the masses.

I don't know of anyone making that claim. Pity for you and FFG!Interesting. So you think the public opinion of a slim majority in California should override the rights guranteed by the federal Constituion?
