Another case of "the will of the people don't mean squat".

It was inevitable that it would come to this: Judges declaring part of the constitution unconstitutional.

Fine people of Nebraska - ignore the federal judge's ruling! You voted to change your constitution - don't let a federal judge rule over your state rights.
To: neverdem
A federal judge on Thursday struck down Nebraska's ban on same-sex marriage, saying the measure interfered not only with the rights of gay couples but also with those of foster parents, adopted children and people in a variety of other living arrangements. and in doing so, stole from the people something more valuable than gold or silver; their constitutional right to vote and decide how the government is to act. In so doing the judge mad them subjects, no longer citizens.

"I can't say I was surprised by this judicial decision."
Me neither. Judicial arrogance would eventually reach a point where they would not even make a pretext at being bound by the constitution and would merely impose their will by fiat. This is a good example of that.

We people are awake. FR even hosted a march on Wasington about them.
We don't elect the judges. What would you suggest?

He said the "broad proscriptions could also interfere with or prevent arrangements between potential adoptive or foster parents and children, related persons living together, and people sharing custody of children as well as gay individuals." Yeah judge, why should it interfere with the corruption of young innocent minds.
Some people shouldn't be allowed to breed.

Fine people of Nebraska - ignore the federal judge's ruling! You voted to change your constitution - don't let a federal judge rule over your state rights. I agree. The governor of Nebraska should just issue an executive order to all state agencies to enforce/observe the law enacted by a vote of the people and tell the judge he is free to try and enforce his ruling.
The time has come for State Gov'ts to tell the Federal Judiciary to stuff it. There is not a damn thing that judge can do except issue a bunch of meaningless orders to obey. If an entire state from the Governor on down refuses to co-operate, what exactly is going to happen?
