    Eh, my guess is they didn't want the embarrassment of a big argument over recusal. This might not be dodging the issue you think.

      Whose recusal? Anyway, the end is the same - the debate is effectively over.

        It's not really "over" as much as it will be redirected.

          No, it is over. There is no going back. Gay marriage is now a fundamental human right as you quote from the lower court. Only the High Court could have overturned that ideal.

            I meant that the left's work isn't done. They will now redirect their efforts to "marriage equality" for other groups who have been denied.

                Don't call it a comeback. It's a riposte.

                        Possibly, but that has not been demonstrated yet, despite my best efforts.

                          The original biblical understanding of marriage was in the garden. One man and one woman with God as their head.

                            Homophobia is a phoney concept, but it is true that few on the right or left show any commitment to the integrity of marriage.

It's a pathetic cop-out, and each of those robed clowns should be impeached for their dereliction of duty.
                              I do not think it is cowardice, it is activism.

                                At least one of the ones who voted against overturning the DOMA provision had to agree not to hear the appeal. So, one of the more conservative justices had to have caved.
