The Rule of Law. The President throws down the gay marriage gauntlet -- it's the people vs the judges on who controls the law of the land.

I don't see how this isn't a good thing -- if the people want to keep marriage as it is, they certainly have every right to let the judges and the academics know who is sovereign and who serves whom. It all comes down to who and what rules in this country -- the people and the liberal constitutional tradition, or the judges and their anti-liberal constitutional radicalism. Whether or not I favor gay marriage, I certainly stand with the people and the ancient liberal constitutional tradition of this country and against the judges and their intellectually brankrupt constitutional radicalism.
