The FHer way: don't wait for public opinion to come around, head right for the federal courts

Excellent Rich Lowry column at NRO on the rush to take DOMA and Proposition 8 before the Supreme Court.

There's been a palpable uptick in the push for homosexual "marriage" recently, and it bears all the signs of another coordinated effort by various FHer groups.  One tactic they're using is language manipulation, such as bringing the term "opposite-sex marriage" into common usage, as if it were just one boutique option available to people among the possibilities.

We're headed toward a world in which we're all interchangeable subjects of the state, outwardly sharp and skilled and civic-minded, but absolutely hollow within.  A word where technocratic go-getters drop their babies off at day-care centers, text their "partners" a few times throughout the day, spend their evenings at meetings on how to "improve their communities" with bike trails and surveys on nutritional intake, and then head home for some obligatory face-time with "family" members.  It is a world without any music, literature or art that's worth a damn.  It's a world where no one bursts out spontaneously in guffaws.  It's a world where people quietly stuff their sense that the ediface cannot last, that the leviathan state cannot, ultimately, fulfill the functions of a Creator who, in those weird Scriptures people in remote village still consult, has a plan much different from the one they're living, a plan that would impart some warmth and humanity to their lives.  But, alas, the species opted for a different route, and now the clock is ticking.
