IMHO:
We are seeing how that sodomists will not stop with their gains. Getting the sodomy laws struck down was only the first step. They are not content with toleration of their abominations. They would force the Boy Scouts & Churches to give them favored treatment. They demand that their abominable practices be dignified by definition of marriage. They will persecute those who merely refuse to cooperate with them, putting businesses out of business, punishing those who don't go along with them. They have little toleration for those who merely would opt out.
And next we shall see a push for pederasty to be legal. If fornication be OK between consenting adults, & if fornication be normal acceptable child play between minors, why is it then a crime between adults & children?
This issue is being fought on the wrong level. Trying to get permission to ignore them won't work. Trying to stop their pseudo-marriages will not work. The states are falling like dominos while the SCOTUS allows it and blesses it.
This issue needs to go back to the sodomy laws. Sodomy should be a crime. And thus big pressure of petition and legal argument needs to be put to the SCOTUS to reverse itself. The SCOTUS is capable of reversing itself. It erred when it struck down the sodomy laws. Sodomy must be a crime again. Once that is done, these other issues will be moot.
As for Christians, we need be busy praying for the government & evangelizing. If the general populace is too great a majority of unsaved persons with reprobate minds, what else can we expect per Romans 1?
At the same time, we need an amendment to the constitution defining how the final interpretation of the Constitution will be made. The Constitution failed to do that.
Suggestions:
1) Determine that if the SCOTUS wants to declare a law unconstitutional, it must get Congress & the President to agree, or run it through the standard Amendment process. If a law is passed by Congress & signed by the president, it should be regarded as prima facia constitutional for that reason. And the law should be deemed constitutional unless the SCOTUS gets Congress & the president to agree it is not, or runs it by the people in a general election -- some system in addition to the SCOTUS must be gone through lest the SCOTUS, an oligarchy have dictatorial powers.
2) No judge/justice should have a lifetime appointment. 10 years is long enough, lest power corrupt them.
3) All judges/justices should be subject to recall elections, if either House by simple majority demands a recall election for any of them.
4) All SCOTUS decisions should be reviewable by Congress for "legislating from the bench."
If both houses by simple majority agree that a judge or justice legislated from the bench, two things should happen
a) The decision should be vacated and
b) The offending justices/judges should have to face an immediate recall election.
Unfortunately, nothing may succeed by merely changing the system if the climate of opinion among the people is so vile as to endorse abominable evil -- that is, if the reprobate mind of Romans 1 is too prevalent in the land.
