Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi responds to editorial on same-sex marriage

In 2008, Florida voters amended their state constitution to define marriage as a union between a man and a woman. In response to a recent challenge to this provision, and in keeping with my sworn duty to uphold the laws of the land, my office recently filed a legal brief defending the voters' decision.

The media is pro-sodomy, the youth culture is too, fascist Obama also.

I applaud Pam Bondi for standing for the Florida Constitution.

Judge rules a conservative coalition cannot defend Florida’s CONSTITUTION that prohibits forced faux marriage between homosexuals:

This is what should have occurred in brain dead Kalifornia.

"But anything less than the best defense of our voters' policy preferences would disenfranchise the electorate, undermine the judicial process, and cast aside the professional responsibility that guides me every day as Attorney General."

Finally, an elected official who gets it. What's the point of having laws if elected officials get to pick and choose whether or not to enforce them (cough...Obama...Holder).

Just sayin’, Judge.

I think there have been some other states, in which officials declined to defend marriage law, when states were sued over homosexual marriage.

And in at least 2 states, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, governors declined to appeal lower court rulings for homosexual marriage. So in those states, homosexual marriage began via court order, due to decisions not to appeal to a higher court.

“The fundamental argument of our brief is that the voters had the right to adopt this definition of marriage, just as they have the right in the future to change their minds and afford legal recognition to same sex marriage, should they so choose.”

Florida passed its amendment by 62% in 2008, 1% better than NC managed for its amendment in 2012 and CA passed prop. 22 by in 2000.
