Judges can act as legislators, as they often do, to bring about changes at some of the highest levels of society that favor the movements in question. As more and more judges do that, with the assistance of other parts of society (academia, Hollywood, etc.), public support will eventually increase.<br /><br />Opponents of homosexual marriage have often made the mistake of placing too much emphasis on appeals to tradition and polls. That mistake should be avoided as we address polygamy and these other issues that are gaining prominence since the mainstreaming of homosexual marriage. Tradition and polls don't have much evidential value. And the American people have proven that they're undiscerning enough to allow their opinions on such significant issues to change rapidly for no good reason. If you appeal to anti-polygamy polling this year, you may be faced with opponents who present you with pro-polygamy polling five or fifteen years from now.Jason Engwerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17031011335190895123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-52841227732014819282013-05-21T16:42:57.314-04:002013-05-21T16:42:57.314-04:00Pretty muchPretty muchJohn Bugayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17728044301053738095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-13211150585598041922013-05-21T14:54:06.334-04:002013-05-21T14:54:06.334-04:00Justification of evil involves dismantling the ide...Justification of evil involves dismantling the ideology that would make anything evil to the point where the only thing considered evil is calling anything evil. That, of course, is incoherent. But incoherence has never stopped anyone from self-justification.Jim Pembertonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01446388434272680014noreply@blogger.com
