ernieThis week, the Supreme Court is hearing arguments about gay rights in America. And, no matter how the court decides, these cases will enter the history books.

    Isn’t the appropriate question regarding these two pieces of legislation: Will the Supreme Court find them to violate the Constitution? It is surely not the business of nine unelected Justices to “lead the nation”.
