Was the Same Sex
Marriage Supreme Court ruling ethical?
Many people
have spoken out about whether the Supreme Court ruling on June 26th,
2015 was unethical and if the Supreme Court stepped out of line on making this
ruling. In this article I would like to discover whether the Supreme Court
indeed did or did not step outside of its boundaries and use excessive power on
behalf of this ruling.
Let’s first
start out by deciphering the responsibilities and duties of the U.S. Supreme
Court. According to www.congressforkids.net,
“When
questions concerning particular laws arise in lower courts, the justices who make up the Supreme Court are responsible for explaining and interpreting the
Constitution. All of the other courts
in the United States must follow the ruling or the decision made by the
justices of the Supreme Court..”
But this only stirs up another question. Does the Constitution say anything
about same sex Marriage? It does not. We know from the Judiciary Branch’s
website that the only matters that the Supreme Court debates and votes on are
those that need to be directly translated from the U.S. Constitution. Thus,
since the Constitution says nothing nor relates to anything that deals with
same sex marriage for relationships the Supreme Court must have stepped there
foot out of bounds at the 40-yard line and should not have scored that
touchdown.
After
extensive research I found that the U.S. Constitution says nothing about making
or changing laws based on feelings or emotions. There was absolutely nothing
that stated that gays, lesbians or bisexuals could not love each other or have
commitments with one another. Therefore, individuals with same sex attractions are
allowed to be together. However, we should recognize that the Supreme Court has
no right to make or change laws based on the fact that somebody was feeling sad
that he couldn’t marry his boyfriend. Marriage is a “legally or formally
recognized union of a man and a woman as partners in a relationship.” (google
defintitons) We must also further recognize why a male and female join together
in union. Male and female join together in union to procreate and form a family
unit. Same sex marriages cannot do such a thing, which makes them exclusively
sex partners. This does not benefit society in the least.
The first line of the Constitution, which
states, “We the people…” indeed was completely disregarded on June 26th
of 2015. Roughly 2% of the U.S. population is gay, lesbian or bisexual. But
somehow this 2% has control over the Supreme Court and the remaining 98% of “We the people…” the United States. Thus, we
can conclude that the squeaky wheel does indeed get the grease and the ruling
of the U.S. Supreme Court on same sex marriage was unjust and utterly unethical.
