Episode notes
Marriage Redefined, Not A New Right
- Mike Winger distinguishes 'gay marriage' from 'same-sex marriage' and says the Court redefined marriage by gender, not sexual orientation.
- He argues marriage is rooted in human nature and design, not merely a civil invention to be redefined.
Judicial Overreach Is The Core Legal Objection
- Winger says the Supreme Court illegitimately created law from the bench instead of interpreting the Constitution.
- He frames the legal objection as central: judges should not legislate new rights.
Rights Have Necessary Limits
- Winger critiques the claim 'marry who you want is a right' as true-ish but irrelevant because marriage has built-in restrictions.
- He compares calling a square a circle to redefining marriage without regard to its defining features.
