See the Obergefell v. Hodges opinion here: http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/14pdf/14-556_3204.pdf
The first premise of this Court’s relevant precedents is that the right to personal choice regarding marriage is inherent in the concept of individual autonomy.
That is why you fail.
Autonomous individuals don’t get married. They don’t even exist. And, at any rate, any autonomous individuals that might exist are ipso facto dysfunctional in civil society. We all depend, and we all either conform to certain reality-based norms, or we damage ourselves and others in our folly.
This nation takes folly for law, and treats law as folly.
Now, at its highest level.
Lord, have mercy.
On an appointed day Herod put on his royal robes, took his seat upon the throne, and made an oration to them. And the people shouted, “The voice of a god, and not of man!” Immediately an angel of the Lord smote him, because he did not give God the glory; and he was eaten by worms and died.
But the word of God grew and multiplied.
(source: Acts 12:21-24 RSVCE)
Lord, have mercy.
