See that is my whole point. This in truth had nothing to do with marriage. That was the what the lawyers sold it as. legal con job in my book. That is why marriage itself was dealt with as an issue all by itself in Ireland. Now comes the rest of the issues. which in my opinion should have been done separate from the marriage issue.

The shot gun effect of gay rights laws passed over the years was yet another con job done by lawyers. All these laws scattered all over the place and needed to be rounded up and packaged into one complete court case to deal with equality once and for all. But once again that is not supported by the Lawyers.

By doing it this way lawyers have made a dysfunctional set of laws for one group a mess for an even larger portion of society. Which it never needed to be. Add in the marriage to all the other other laws scattered all over the place would have been a strong court case to simplify the laws about gay rights.

This yet again a case were the Legal profession in this country has gone out of their way to perpetuate their profession.

By going along with the lawyers both side have shot themselves in the foot and made a mess into a total disaster.

The supreme court left it to states for so long because they had a good idea this is what would happen. But once you get judges that see the mess that can made and the money to had it was a done deal.

Sorry ethics and morality no matter what side of this issue your on has little to do with the reason the courts went the way they did. they do not care either way IMO. this was a money grab by them.

Courts send the marriage issue to the voters on a national level and tell both sides to get their act together and clean up the mess on the books once and for all.

So in summary

IMO marriage would pass and it would be the nail in the coffin on this topic

With the coffin nailed gay rights can be addressed and established once and for all.

This is the way they are forcing the issue in Ireland

But the way we are proceeding now it will years upon years till a true law on gay rights ever gets on the books. We all get hurt and the lawyers get rich.
