36. Of course you may ask
Maybe this wasn't clear enough to discern my meaning: "if I were facing a great injustice, I would want the courts to uphold my rights"

What that meant was that if anyone is being unjustly discriminated against (refering to the current topic of benefits being accessible to gays), the court should step in to protect them.

So the court has rectified a basic injustice. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the alternative that you seem to advocate -that I asked you about before- is laissez faire, status quo, and "don't rock the boat", because the backlash of incremental changes will surely be worse than any current gains. Is that right?
