The Very Idea Of Marriage Is Basic

The Supreme Court Has Said That: Marriage Is The Most Important Relation In Life. Now That's Being Withheld From The Plaintiffs. It Is The Foundation Of Society. It Is Essential To The Orderly Pursuit Of Happiness. It's A Right Of Privacy Older Than The Bill Of Rights And Older Than Our Political Parties. One Of The Liberties Protected By The Due Process Clause. A Right Of Intimacy To The Degree Of Being Sacred. And A Liberty Right Equally Available To A Person In A Homosexual Relationship As To Heterosexual Persons.

The Reality Is That Our Independent Judiciary Is The Most Respected Branch Of Our Government And The Envy Of The World.

No One Aspires As A Child To Grow Up And Enter Into A Domestic Partnership. But They Do Aspire As Children To Grow Up And Be Married.

The United States Supreme Court Has Repeatedly Held That Marriage Is One Of The Most Fundamental Rights That We Have As Americans Under Our Constitution.
