    All that you have to do is google the polls. The information is readily available. You might want to pay special attention to younger people, even those who identify as conservative, Republican, and Christian. Why do you not want to believe the shift in attitudes?

    Well maybe you should let other Conservatives know since they act like the Rapture is going to happen if gay marriage is legalized.

    At the end of the article it says "A decision from the court could come down at any time."

    I thought they were going to give their answer in June?

    I believe that's in reference to the Fifth Circuit, not the Supreme Court.

    Don't play games with me dude. You know what you said. My response was appropriate. Now answer the question or don't bother me.

    I have a problem believing the shift of attitudes simply because of Judges overruling the voting public....now if you want to shift this into what is perceived (by Judges) to be what's deemed right or wrong then that's a different topic.

    Well, so do I. The shift in attitude in attitude started at least ten years ago and support has been steadily on the increase. Windsor was only two years ago and sparked numerous lower court decisions. Those subsequent decisions may have further accelerated public opinion but we have no way of knowing that. But you started this by expressing doubt about the % of people who support SSM, So I'm not sure what you are trying to say here.

    Right or wrong in what way? Legally? Morally? Judges are human and have their values and biases. Ideology plays a role in their decisions, but the good one will put the law first. That is why I'm still predicting a win for equality.

    Hopeful signs from Roberts. I still think that we can have a 6-3 decision for equality:

    June 26, 2015 was a glorious day. Gay Marriage was declared the law of the land.
