I'm not commenting on your call for a recall or an impeachment. Though I disagree strongly on both counts, that is your right as a citizen.

What bothers me is that you pointedly called him a "homosexual judge," which is false. That is an outrage.

And the overturning of the law is what happens whenever sound and rational minds cannot appreciate the need to write a constitutional amendment so that it passes constitutional muster. It was widely spoken of during the legislative session and many people, like myself, wanted two amendments so that we could pass them and then see them stand up in court. But no, the hard-liners were afraid that the civil unions amendment could be legitimately challenged, I personally think it would have held up, so they insisted on lumping it together with the Marriage Protection amendment. And now we have neither.

The hard liners succeeded in part because the ACLU told Democrats who could not oppose the measures that, if they had to vote for one approach or the other, then vote for the single amendment because they knew they could strike it down in court. A fat lot of good that did us!

So what happens now? Well, the hard liners get to raise a whole new batch of money from angered voters who thought it should become law because they voted for it. And it could have become law if it was put on the ballot as two separate amendments. But that did not suit unreasoning minds and we're right back where we started.

And it could have become law if it was put on the ballot as two separate amendments.

We don't want or need two amendments. One is enough.

Where am I coming from? "So shall the LORD bring upon you all evil things..."

Why? Because IT MATTERS! Let me say this clearly. Homosexuals (since you find this adjective offensive when applied to a judge) are unacceptable. Period.

I'm tired of compromise. I'm NOT luke-warm on this issue. And any judge who, so clearly goes against the voice of the citizens of Louisiana on an amendment to the State Constitution, should be thrown out and fined for waisting the peoples' money and time. He has earned much contempt. The amendment to the constitution has passed, and he has no jurisdiction, except to uphold the constitution.
