Guest Post: "We need to stand strong on marriage and resist the attempts to redefine it."

From a friend:

I know that many of us are disappointed and angry about the Supreme Court's decision to legalize gay "marriage" in all 50 states.  One issue concerns states' rights and whether or not county clerks should be forced to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.  Another issue concerns religious liberty and whether or not this will be upheld--for clergy who refuse to officiate at the "weddings" of same-sex partners and for business-owners who refuse services to same-sex “weddings” on religious grounds. 

It's important to know that there is no enabling legislation which legitimizes SCOTUS's ruling on marriage.  The majority opinion of the Court expressed sentimental views, but did not make a constitutional argument in support of this.  It was raw judicial activism and tyranny (judicial tyranny bypasses the process of laws).  Therefore, state governors and attorneys general should not be too quick to say that gay "marriage" is the law of the land.  When lawless judges of a Court exceed constitutional authority or limits, this needs to be challenged and resisted.  Until this ruling is reversed, or is overturned by a constitutional amendment that defines marriage as the union of one man and one woman, there are other ways to resist an unjust law.  St. Augustine said that an unjust law is no law at all.  We need to remind people that the USA is a free country, and that our Republic, and democratic societies in general, are characterized by shared decision-making.  This does not include activist judges who shred the Constitution and use a court case to force their political will, which lacks objective merit, on the rest of us!  The framers of the U.S. Constitution provided ways to rein in out-of-control judges, and all options need to be on the table.  The last thing we should do is to throw in the towel and accept as legitimate an unjust law passed by unelected politicians.  If we do that, then we only defeat ourselves.  Marriage is a sacred institution established by God, and, especially in a country that was founded on Judeo-Christian principles, the Biblical Law of God transcends human law.  We need to stand strong on marriage and resist the attempts to redefine it.

This is important.
