I'm sure that back in the 50's and 60's if the citizens of the 'Bible Belt' had had their way, the courts would never have had a chance to rule on 'Brown v. Board of Education' (declaring the doctrine of 'separate but equal' was unconstitutional), nor 'Jones v. Alfred H. Mayer Co.' (outlawing discrimination in both public AND private housing projects), nor 'Griggs v. Duke Power Co.' (prohibiting racial discrimination in employment and hiring). And if those same voters would have been given the chance, they would have seen to it that the Civil Rights and Voting Rights acts would never have been approved or put into effect, so using the argument today that they should be given the chance to affect the enforcement of anti-gay marriage laws is a bit disingenuous at best.
