We absolutely did through our elected representatives. That is how our system is supposed to work. If we don't like how they vote we can vote them out of office. Not so with unelected judges.
Did we vote on the Civil Rights Act of 1964?
This is not a pure democracy. By your line of thought, a state could "vote on it" and pass a law allowing for something heinous like slavery and the courts would be helpless to prevent it. Absurd.

So wrong on so many levels. If a state enacts something that is unconstitutional, the remedy is the courts. You have a keen misunderstanding of how our system was designed by our Founders.
LOL..... That's EXACTLY what happened... and EXACTLY what you're bitching about. State's enacted laws that courts found unconstitutional (such as California), and eventually led to a vast majority of states having gay marriage.
Should have fought to not define marriage at the state level instead of fighting to ban gay marriage.
You're making zero sense. I am against the Supreme Court making law, as should all Americans. Many states defined marriage as between a man and woman. The Supremes overruled those states and claimed gay marriage was constitutional and taking it out of the hands of the people. BTW, Kagan testified in 2009 that gay marriage was not a constitutionally protect right. I guess in the intervening 6 years she "discovered" that it was.
LOL.... I'm done.....
You do realize this has been an extremely embarrassing day for you? Maybe you're too stupid to figure it out. Regardless, I owe you many thanks. I couldn't purchase entertainment this good.
