Oh geez. Asshole courts.
This case was rigged to make the judgement inevitable.
Judges are supposed to rule based upon what is presented in the case.
The Democrat Attorney General who swore to defend the Virginia constitution (where traditional marriage is enshrined) refused to defend it.
Not only did he refuse to offer a defense in the case, he joined with the plaintiff in attacking the constitution.
This is one up on the California AG, who started the tactic of not defending the constitution on gay marriage. As it turns out, only the Governor or AG are considered to have the legal standing to defend state laws or the state constitution in court. If two traitors occupy those offices, they can sabotage court cases. That is the insidious tactic being used.
There were liberal front groups all lined up to file a lawsuit, as soon as the recounting of votes finally came around to a narrow majority to get the Democrat elected as AG in Virginia. The packing of the court system with liberal judges, thanks to Harry Reid’s use of the “nuclear option” of simple majority vote in the Senate to confirm judges, also guides where they will target their cases. The 4th circuit court in Virginia was recently flipped from conservative to liberal.
The reporting gives the impression that courts are overturning bans on gay marriage based on constitutional grounds, but the arguments presented for this could not stand up in an honest analysis - they have unethically rigged the cases to get default judgements by getting Attorney Generals who will violate their oaths of office.
