Robinjoe, excellent post!
I agree for the most part, that we should not judge the people who became involved for loving and sympathetic reasons.
However, this sort of thing is a personal and private matter between the parties involved. The government had no business getting onvolved and passing legislation beyond what what already in place (ie what the judges originally based their rulings on). I don't think that we, as Americans, should even know about this case, let alone have to listen to our politicians grandstand about it.
