PRESTOPUNDIT -- "It's a team sport, baby!"

Gay Marriage. Hugh Hewitt gets it. Quotable:

When courts dictate law, as has happened in Massachusetts, or when low-ranking, publicity-grabbing officials make up the law, as is happening in San Francisco and may soon happen elsewhere, then freedom is diminished because the rule of a few is substituted for the rule of elected legislatures. There is no covering up this most basic of issues: Who runs America?

UPDATE: Professor Bainbridge gets it also and here as well. Anyone paying attention (and Prof B was) would have noted that the President had already tipped his hand on this one in the state of the union address:

Activist judges, however, have begun redefining marriage by court order, without regard for the will of the people and their elected representatives. On an issue of such great consequence, the people's voice must be heard. If judges insist on forcing their arbitrary will upon the people, the only alternative left to the people would be the constitutional process.
