Judicial Watch issued the following statement on the ruling by the California Supreme Court that imposes same-sex marriage on the state:
"Today, a bare majority of the California Supreme Court, in an audacious political power grab, usurped the democratic process by redefining marriage. The laws of this nation rely on the proper functioning of the courts, including a proper balance of powers, and the judiciary's ability to demonstrate restraint. This ruling undermines the rule of law. Bigamists and other 'polyamorists' will take solace in this activist and radical ruling because, if its logic is followed, it will be difficult to keep marriage limited to only two people. Judges are not free to rewrite statutes to say what they would like or what they believe to be better social policy." Judicial Watch had filed an amicus brief with the California Supreme Court.

I dont have a warm feeling about mcnutts judicial nominees either.
Their spouses now know something more about their real interests.
This wasn't the 9th Circus, it was the California Supreme Court.
It must be in the water.
A revolution that is not accomplished by the peaceful means of the ballot box, will eventually be exercised in the less peaceful means of open war. The CA court has moved from the virtue of America and propelled us to an upcoming civil war.
The highest glory of the American Revolution was this: it connected in one indissoluble bond the principles of civil government with the principles of Christianity. -- John Quincy Adams
You guys are probably right but McCain’s latest statements indicate he’d appoint original intent justices. Is this just a sop to the conservative base? I don’t know. It’s hard to predict the actions of a lunatic!
Three of the four judges who voted in the majority were Republican appointees.
I don’t think you can trust anything McCain says.
I dont think mcnutts would pass up a chance to stick conservatives in the eye over judges.
This decision didn’t come from the 9th Circus - but don’t worry! They’ll be affirming it soon!
Any Court based in San Francisco is a circus.
Republicans have made plenty of disastrous choices, too. I think, more often than not, the judges appointed by Republicans have had moderate/conservative judicial records but then moved left once appointed. But in California there are few real conservatives and I can imagine Arnold nominating some “Republicans” who are more like Trotskyites. In Mexifornia, they’d be considered social and political conservatives!
Right - the inmates are running the asylum in that place.
This isn’t 9th circuit court. This is California Supreme Court. No higher appeals.
Obviously another example of a few unelected lawyers...California Supreme Court justices are affimed by general election -- in other words, elected by the public. The four who voted to end marriage discrimination enjoyed support from libertarian and conservative "small government" activists both in Sacramento and among the voting populace.
Romans 1:25-27 tells us that same-sex sexual relationships are a consequence of idolatry. In other words, such relationships are a consequence of disobeying the 1ST COMMANDMENT, a major aspect of the GREATEST COMMANDMENT, to love the jealous God with all your being.
Homosexuals need to keep in mind, however, that the good news of the gospel is not about how God despises same-sex sexual relationships. In fact, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 indicates that certain members of that church had been slaves to such relationships but had been cleansed in Jesus' name. So these former homosexuals had evidently repented and accepted God's grace to straighten their lives out.
John 3:16
Revelation 3:20
Those California Supreme Court scumbags can only “write law” if the legislature and governor allow them to. In a nation where co-equal branches of government had any spine at all, small cadres of “men in black” would never get away with these obscene power grabs.
Unfortunately, politicians with spine are a very rare commodity these days.
