- Recent Court Decisions Support Marriage Laws
In courtrooms across the nation an extraordinary thing has happened: In a spate of decisions, judges have deferred to important policy judgments rendered by democratically elected legislatures or by the people themselves in referenda. It obviously hasn't been easy for judges to give up their self-appointed role as super legislators, fit to rewrite any laws based on the whimsy of the hour. They have done it only reluctantly and by narrow margins. But, for now, the popular will on the issue at hand in these decisions - same-sex marriage - seems safe from arbitrary judicial override.
