The poignancy of the fact that next year the Supreme Court is poised to make profound decisions regarding the future of marriage in America cannot be understated.

Given the recent ruling whereby they upheld the legitimacy of Obamacare, I would have to say my trust in their judgment as a sound judicial body is at an all-time low.

And, given the fact that a mere forty years ago, the same court — although comprised of different actors — foisted the “right” to kill babies in the womb upon all states, thus thrusting America into further moral decline than we have ever known — I will not be surprised if they issue another ruling re: the “right” to homosexual marriage thus inflicting more moral turmoil on the nation.

Not sure what the significance of forty years is in this case. Many times, it represented a period of judgment in the Bible. Maybe this court will reflect on the consequences of issuing a ruling devoid of moral instruction such as was done in Roe v. Wade and change courses. However, nothing in the recent history of the court gives me that hope.
