The broadcast media coverage of this ruling has been nothing short of shameful. No balance...this is merely being presented as a wonderful thing.

Of course, the sovereignty of a state to decide its own laws is ignored by the disgusting press coverage.

If this law is to be changed, then it should be done via the people.

The LameStream Press virtually ignored the fact that 60+% of the electorate chose to BAN gay marriage in the state three weeks ago.

Is there any question about how SCOFLA will rule on this?

Oh, wonderful!

So Thad & Chad can adopt a little boy and screw it up, just like their parents did to them!

The gay advocates of the Lawrence v. Texas decision said it was about consenting adults in private. When does a child consent to be raised in a same sex household by non-birth parents under an alternative lifestyle?

A Florida law

A law is insufficient. An amendment to the State Constitution is necessary. A state law can be ruled to be Unconstitutional under that State's State Constitution, but an amendment can't be so ruled. Hawaii learned this in 1993 and passed an amendment in 1996. California learned this and passed an amendment, both in 2008. Now it's Florida's turn.

Using authority of similar kind I hereby rule that Cindy S. Lederman is UNCONSTITUTIONAL. Her property is forfeit and her liberties rescinded.

so we have to get organized and have a group who will call the media everytime we see something we see as too liberal and one sided.

give me the phone numbers and surely we can get something done about the media’s coverage.
If they face a load of calls they will have to address this form both sides.

I would be more than willing to go on and explain my experience of going though the foster care and adoption programme with social services and tell everyone how bad it would be for a child to have two fathers or two mothers.

I know of not one child growing up who wanted that, we all wanted a mother and a father plus children should not be forced into a house with homosexuals

Cindy has her own personal reason for wanting it to be "unconstitutional"......

Cindy on the right and here "reason" on the left in the picture.

Cindy's previous boss in Miami was Janet Reno.....who shares her views on the subject.

A Florida law that has banned adoptions by gay men and lesbians for over three decades is unconstitutional, a judge here ruled on Tuesday

What is Un Constitutional about common sense, the law of nature and 2000 plus years of know history.
These judges are absolutely insane an so far off base from the Constituion they wouldn’t know the Constitution if it bitch slapped them....

“The best interests of children are not preserved by prohibiting homosexual adoption,”

Setting aside any homosexual or gay-agenda issues, doesn't the legislature decide what, if any, standards they want to set for adoption? Conversely, if adoption is now a de-facto right, then no standard can apply at all. You could be a convicted criminal living under a bridge and the adoption would have to go forward.

Of course, the real answer is that certain behavior is now protected, and any separating or limiting such behavior is verboten by judicial fiat.

It doesn’t make sense to have this rule if they are allowing gays to have foster children. They have to go full ban or nothing. What is the difference between allowing them to have foster kids and adoption? Is there any difference really?

It’s disturbing that our broken justice system puts young impressionable minds in the hands of sick and perverted individuals that have little or no regard for their own safety let alone the safety of the innocent.

Their trying to make the homosexual lifestyle normal, it’s anything butt! (ò¿ó)

Show me a woman “pastor/priest” or a woman judge, and I'll show you a blatant heretic and an activist “feel-good” justice. (sorry ladies, but there ARE inappropriate roles.)

[Rosenwald]: “The court for the first time after hearing all of the evidence determined that the scientific evidence is crystal clear,” he said. “There is no dispute that children raised by gay parents fare just as well or better than children raised by straight parents.” [emphasis added]

Unbelievable. If you listen closely to any homo-activist, you will detect - what used to be subtly suggested - hints of their belief in the supremacy of homosexuality over heterosexuality. And the media and much of the uneducated public are swallowing this. Consider the implications of such a statement. What will the newly-empowered "state" be able to do in the "best interests" of children?

This is only the inception of things to come, if the tide is not miraculously turned back by some means.
