“The court is holding a legal gun to the head of the State Legislature, and saying, ‘Listen, there are two bullets, you get to pick the bullet: either gay marriage or civil unions,’ ” said Matt Daniels, president of Alliance for Marriage, an organization based in the Washington area that supports a federal Constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage. “And that is not democracy. That is court-imposed policy-making that takes this out of the hands of the people.”

Silly, silly, Matt Daniels. Why do these people continually forget that protection of the few is as much a part of democracy as rule by the many? He sees our government working and believes that it's broken. It's like seeing Iraq and believing that a war between factions or regions of the same country is not civil war.
