Michael Savage is right. Is isn't one man, one vote. It is one judge, no votes. In another era, this judge would be tarred, feathered and ridden out of town on a rail . . . if he were lucky.
Just another case of the out-of-control judges legislating from the bench. The people's voice (vote) doesn't mean squat!
Actually this is a good thing because it won't stick and it serves as a great reminder of what has to be done to get control of the judges. These mutts can't help themselves. They do what low lifes do and this will keep the fire burning.
WE may not "elect" THEM , but we certainly elect those who appoint them.....duh

WE do? Do you need the links to the voter fraud bump lists?
>>>>Another option would be for Congress simply to eliminate those judges positions, pending the creation of new positions.
That would be nice. I doubt that would happen though. Did you see the thread yesterday with Byrd and Frist going at it about the filibustering? I can't wait until Deep Throat is finally out of there.

The Minutemen Project will be starting in Texas and ideally spreading to all the border states. They work unarmed for now; but the force will send a message.
A B.S. decision and a logical nullity. Nebraska should enforce the ban vigorously.
How crude and politically incorrect!
I COULDN'T HAVE SAID IT BETTER!
Same sex marriage and custody of children are two separate issues
Vigilantism is about all that's left to us, if the votes are liable to be brushed off at the flick of a judge's wrist.
The torch-and-pitchfork approach---very loud, very angry protests---should not be abandoned, though, since there is always a possibility that real mayhem might arise therefrom. And we badly need some mayhem to wake people up and get their circulation going.
As for impeachment, there's no hope. You couldn't get a majority to approve of that if you counted the Republicans per testicle.
Since when is the ordination of the Constitution and its Amendments subject to Judicial Review?
I thought a constitutional amendment was supposed to overrule a judge's decision. Did I miss something?
The 14th Amendment Due Process Clause is interpreted to guarantee the fundamental liberty of intimate associations (Lawrence v. Texas), so the Nebraska's Constitutional provision hindering those intimate associations cannot withstand Federal Constitutional scrutiny, unless it is narrowly tailored to a compelling governmental interest - which, apparently, this law was not.
That, more or less, is the argument under modern Constitutional Law. Doesn't mean I like it or agree with it, but such it is.
If it protects that, then it protects prostitution and incest.
Well, this is a federal judge declaring a state constitutional amendment federally unconstitutional. Not quite the same.
In Arizona, the state supreme court actually did declare an amendment to the state constitution unconstitutional because another part of the state constitution was more important.

Scalia's dissent says something similar.
So basically it's unconstitutional to do anything the fags or the libs don't like.
