This discussion/controversy is a perfect example of the issue being lost in the maelstrom. I would ask the his honor one question. What would his response be if I decided that I was going to disobey all of his rulings that I had a moral issue with? Respect for the rule of law is what makes for a stable society. This is another example of the right wing demanding the good old days, except where it doesn't agree with their view of what the good old days really were.

The supposed "Judeo-Christian" values that our system of laws are built on are really universal principles of right and wrong that are found in many philosophies, value systems, and religions.

I am sure that these protestors are sincere, and probably nice folks. What the hell does all that have to do with the issue.
