Reply To: US Supreme Court recent rulings

HaKatan -“Here is a small part of the OU’s statement:

“Ultimately, decisions on social policy remain with the democratic process, and today the process has spoken and we accord the process and its result the utmost respect.”

For example, what if the “democratic process” decided that “social policy” requires all men, women and children to be michalel Shabbos and to disallow Bris Mila until the child becomes an adult and chooses then whether or not he wants a bris?”

Not only wasn’t their statement perfect -it was based on PC. And you argued based from a religious standpoint. This isn’t just wrong from a religious POV. The Supreme Court had no legal basis to say that the litigants were not allowed to appeal this decision – anymore than the original Toeivaniks had the legal right to bring the case in the first place.

As an American who believes in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, I, with other straight people have just had our rights destroyed by the militant Toeivaniks and all the branches of Gov.

This in No way is Democracy or “Democratic Process”.
