“The job of the court is not for them to do what’s right or what’s moral. The job of the court is to uphold what they deem as Constitutional, meaning that many times they have to make decisions, not according to their conscience, but according to what they deem as upholding the Constitution. … This, of course, reminds me of a Christian’s relationship with scripture. Like the court, you’ve got activist preachers who only support some of scripture, say, the more conservative aspects, while only giving lip-service to the stuff about poverty and justice and so forth, and some more liberal preachers who speak out for justice but ignore hardline morality. As much as we may love or hate the court, we’ve got a lot to learn from them. And that is this: Honoring truth is not about our opinion. It’s about interpreting the document of Scripture as fairly and honestly as possible, and, to be honest, pissing off some of our own tribe when we believe they are interpreting the document wrongly.” –Donald Miller
