"Blow" might not have been the best choice of words here.
This is not a major setback at all, unfortunately. It only states the obvious.
So, what happens to Newson now? I take it for granted that a mayor who so blatantly oversteps his authority has committed a crime of some sort and should be held liable for his actions. Unless, of course, he's a Liberal/ Socialist/Democrat.
{Instead, he proposes enforcing the Federal Defense of Marriage Act}
Another flip-flop by Kerry. He voted against the Defense of Marriage Act.
What we are looking at in this travesty created by a rogue, activist, leftist (aren't they all?) city official is as dangerous as terrorism, in my opinion. First, this so-called public official BROKE THE LAW, and in the face of the will of the people, as voted in Prop. 22, told the public to pound sand with his illegal and deliberate "approval" of marriage licensing of gays. The Penal Code of California deems it a felony to issue instruments of license against the law and codes of the state. Yet this radical activist, law breaker will not be punished.
Aside from this anarchy in public government at the individual level, is the massive danger reflected in the 5 to 2 decision of the California Supreme Court. This vote states that we have judges THAT BELIEVE THAT ACTIVISTS CAN REWRITE AND BREAK THE LAW, AT WILL. We saw this judicial anarchy in Florida during the Gore ruse. Judges, sitting on the bench, thinking they can legislate from that bench at will, to suit some activist, personal agenda, in the very face of the law and the people.
TAKE NOTE! This is a growing trend amongst the leftist/Marxist activists in this country that either are part of, or are pandered to, by judges who do NOT UPHOLD THE LAW in favor of unlawful political agendas.
This is serious. So I ask the question...WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE IN THIS COUNTRY OVER THIS ANARCHY WITHIN OUR JUDICIARY????
