Ferguson<\/em> decision, the top left corner of the front page read only: \u201cIT\u2019S GOOD. \u2014 The U.S. Supreme Court Passes On \u2014 SEPARATE COACH LAW. \u2014 And Says That it is Constitutional \u2014 Other News.\u201d That was it for the Kentucky paper on \u201cseparate but equal,\u201d a court decision that was supposed, wrongly, to settle key questions of civil rights, constitutional law, and race relations in America. The New Era barely batted an eye at the decision.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The lesson for anyone with more than a gnat\u2019s eye view of history is that a given moment can seem uneventful or even positive if you mistake the time, the issue, and the nature of things. The lesson for politicians is even clearer. Take care wading into deep waters of civil and natural rights, because the truth will come to light eventually, as it did with \u201cseparate but equal,\u201d as it did with the journey from <em>Roe<\/em> to <em>Dobbs<\/em>. It often takes time to think, argue, and discuss, and frankly, it often takes errors to compare with good policy before the American people can decide properly what to do about a given difficult issue such as civil rights, abortion, or marriage, which has now become yet another deep societal debate, only in its infancy of consideration after <em>Obergefell<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Now the Supreme Court has a long history of getting out over its skis, so to speak, and attempting to settle such complex issues with decisions such as <em>Dred Scott<\/em>, <em>Plessy<\/em>, <em>Roe<\/em>, and <em>Obergefell<\/em>. It is a kind of oligarchic temptation to which the court has repeatedly succumbed. And it has been an error somewhat particular to the Supreme Court \u2014 until now.<\/p>\n<p>It seems that the Senate \u2014 and, by its leadership, the whole of the Democrat-controlled Congress \u2014 is about to join the court in that same downhill slalom to the dustbin of history, if they pass the unrealistically named Respect for Marriage Act this very afternoon. Unless the Respect for Marriage Act is voted down, the Senate will attempt to second the haste of the court\u2019s <em>Obergefell<\/em> decision by trying to codify gay marriage, which looks, as <em>Plessy<\/em> did to the headline writers of the Daily Kentucky New Era in May of 1896, like an uncontroversial bill. <\/p>\n<p>Senators who think they will be hailed as champions and protectors of marriage equality may have a somewhat narrow view of history because they woefully underestimate the power of what the Declaration of Independence called a candid world that can come to understand certain self-evident truths about Nature and Nature\u2019s God if given the time to hear out the arguments, test the ideas, and consider seriously whether something is truly a right.<\/p>\n<p>Now, this is precisely what the Senate minority and its leadership are meant to do. They are, by constitutional design and by the blessings of the filibuster, able to stop the majority from committing the sort of hasty errors<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Twelve Republicans seem poised to make a terrible mistake and leap into the mire of a societal argument about marriage.
