A failed strategy ( reposted without comment (2015) )

Look, I've been on the side of influencing the system through the process all along.

But if the Court rules in favor of same sex marriage, as far as I'm concerned, all bets are off.  For the last 40 years of using the system to overturn Roe v. Wade, and getting enough GOP presidents elected to get a majority on the Court, and yet another Roe v. Wade is presented to you for your efforts, then I think those efforts have all been in vain.  Continuing on the same track can only lead to even more humiliating and catastrophic defeats.

So, what to do?   Is this it?  Is this all?

The following is the kind of question that I asked before, for it is a lot like it.  In the movie the Untouchables, the beat cop asked Elliot Ness that same question.  Is this it?  Is this all?

Also, what are prepared to do?  Because you may have to go all the way with these people.  All the way means all the way.  I'm talking bloodshed here people.  If the other side thinks they can get a bloodless coup, what are you going to do about it?  Maybe they are right.  Maybe you don't have the belly for it.
