This judge is ignoring a state constitution.

This judge is ignoring a state constitution.

He is overthrowing it.

He has decided he knows better than the millions who voted for the constitutional amendment.

"They have had it illegally forced on them by renegade judges."

Exactly!

As mentioned in related threads, the pro-gay, PC interpretation of the 14th Amendment’s (14A) Equal Protections Clause (EPC) does not hold water with respect to supporting gay marriage imo. This is because the Supreme Court has historically clarified that 14A added no new protections to the Constitution.

“3. The right of suffrage was not necessarily one of the privileges or immunities of citizenship before the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment, and that amendment does not add to these privileges and immunities. It simply furnishes additional guaranty for the protection of such as the citizen already had [emphasis added].” —Minor v. Happersett, 1874.

But more importantly, the Court’s clarification of what 14A actually does reflects John Bingham’s clarification of that amendment in the congressional record, Bingham having been the main author of Section 1 of 14A. Bingham had indicated that the amendment applies to the states only those protections which have been expressly amended to the Constitution by the states, as opposed special interest rights interpolated from the EPC by activist judges.

“Mr. Speaker, this House may safely follow the example of the makers of the Constitution and the builders of the Republic, by passing laws for enforcing all the privileges and immunities of the United States as guaranteed by the amended Constitution and expressly enumerated in the Constitution [emphasis added].” — Congressional Globe, House of Representatives, 42nd Congress, 1st Session. (See lower half of third column.)

So since the states have never amended the Constitution to expressly protect gay agenda issues, gay marriage in this case, activist judges actually have no gay rights amendment to apply to the states via 14A. This means that the states are free to exercise their 10th Amendment-protected power to make laws which discriminate against constitutionally unprotected gay “rights,” as long as such laws don’t unreasonably abridge constitutionally enumerated rights.

It didn’t stop the abortionists from shoving preborn murder down America’s throat in 1973; sentence first, trial after.

and by ‘legally recognizing’ he means ‘being forced by judges that over rule the voting public’

There are plenty of other democrat appointed Federal injustices to issue Edicts like Clinton Appointee Robert Hinkle.

When Federal employees get to add words to the Federal Constitution to tell state whatever the want there is no law, and the lawless ones are those dictators an the fools that uphold thier lawlessness.

Were there still a Constitution of Civil Government reining in this country Federal injustices like Robert Hinkle would be kicked off the bench for being lawless tyrants.

I am afraid that is the only way Florida and the other states can resist the encroachment of this lawless evil is to ignore the lawless edicts. Acts which will eventually bring down Federal military force upon the State. We live under a Federal bureaucratic dictatorship not a Written Constitution of Civil Government, we are going to have to learn to deal with that fact for what it is.

That means stockpiling the means of resistance to Federal tyranny and finding cever ways to bring down the corrupt Federal dictatorship.

“It didn’t stop the abortionists from shoving preborn murder down America’s throat in 1973; sentence first, trial after.”

The left discovered in the 1950s and 60s that from the bench their edicts are supreme law no matter how unpopular or unmentioned or practice in any law or history of theses united States.

There simply isn’t the institutional mechanisms necessary in this country to resist tyranny of federal magistrates. That infrastructure was largely destroyed by Federal armies (Police and military troops) crippling and enforcing Federal edicts.

As a result a Federal injustice an issue any edict they like and provided they don’t mobilize the required super-majorities will to amend the constitution nobody can stop them. Our system of Constitutional Civil Government was thus Fundamentally broken.

“This judge is ignoring a state constitution.”

Federal Constitution too, but what do you expect from a Clinton Appointee.

They don’t read law they decide it is whatever they want. Some of them will even try to justify their edict with some obscure rhetorical or historical nonsense but many more wont even go that far for fear of making fools of themselves among those who know what is written.

They are unaccountable because Federal armies(police and military) destroyed all institutional means to resist their tyranny. The Left discovered this in the 1950’s and 60’s and have been using it to systematically destroy america ever-sense.
