That's hardly impressive and I seriously doubt anyone under the age of nine would believe that you are well-versed in matters of the law. Seems to me that if you actually understood the law and the Constitution, you would understand why the Supreme Court ruled in favor of same-sex marriage, even if you personally disagree with it.
The internet? If you have to go to the internet to learn that you clearly did not learn anything from 8th grade civics and history class. Are you honestly telling me you did not know how we amend the constitution of the United States (They even have cartoons on it) and that the amendments require approval of State legislatures and 2/3 of the States in the union? Or how African Americans were granted freedom, citizenship, and rights? Wow, our education system really is going to shit.
Regrettably I am better versed than most in regards to the law and the constitution. Which is why I know the ruling is not supported by precedence in regards to the subject of marriage, separation of powers, and constitutional interpretation.
But pray tell. What is your understanding of why the Supreme Court ruled in favor of same-sex marriage? I hope you do not state something utterly stupid like the government does not have the right to discriminate (as it can, must, and does under various levels of scrutiny). Or some foolish notion of universal equality without consideration of quality (since we are treating some equal while still not treating others).
