Judge Gives Miller 30 Days to Transfer Daughter to Former Lesbian Lover or Face Arrest

By Matthew Cullinan Hoffman

RUTLAND, VERMONT, January 28, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Ex-Lesbian Lisa Miller has been given 30 days to transfer custody of her daughter to her former lesbian partner, or possibly face criminal penalties.

Although Vermont Judge Richard Cohen has so far refused to issue an arrest warrant for Miller, he has set a deadline of February 23rd for the transfer to take place.

If Miller does not appear during that time, Cohen said on January 22, "I will consider all possible sanctions under the law," according to the local Rutland Herald.

Such sanctions could include arrest and imprisonment for up to five years, a punishment that has been repeatedly requested by Miller's former partner, Janet Jenkins.

Miller disappeared following a December order by Cohen to turn her daughter Isabella over to Jenkins on January 1. 

Miller gave birth to Isabella through artificial insemination while in a civil union with Jenkins in 2003. Her daughter has no biological relationship with Jenkins.

Cohen ordered the transfer of custody after several failed attempts to arrange visitations with Jenkins, which were opposed by Miller, who claimed that her daughter was psychologically traumatized by them.  Miller has stated that her daughter spoke of wanting to die after returning from one visit, and said that she had been forced to bathe naked with Jenkins.  Miller also claims that she was abused by Jenkins during their relationship.

Miller's Facebook page, as well as the Protect Isabella Coalition page, appear to have been removed from the internet.

As a Republican I always ask: what would Lincoln say?. So I quote

When I so pressingly urge a strict observance of all the laws, let me not be understood as saying there are no bad laws, nor that grievances may not arise, for the redress of which, no legal provisions have been made.--I mean to say no such thing. But I do mean to say, that, although bad laws, if they exist, should be repealed as soon as possible, still while they continue in force, for the sake of example, they should be religiously observed. So also in unprovided cases. If such arise, let proper legal provisions be made for them with the least possible delay; but, till then, let them, if not too intolerable, be borne with.

There is no grievance that is a fit object of redress by mob law. In any case that arises, as for instance, the promulgation of abolitionism, one of two positions is necessarily true; that is, the thing is right within itself, and therefore deserves the protection of all law and all good citizens; or, it is wrong, and therefore proper to be prohibited by legal enactments; and in neither case, is the interposition of mob law, either necessary, justifiable, or excusable.

It does make me wonder what he meant by "not too intolerable"

Liberal family law is a putrid swamp when one compares it to Blackstone's Commentary Book I chapters 15 and 16.

Perhaps you shall change your view when you are old enough to shave.

Holding God as more important than Country transcends age.

And there was notihng left to say to the other poster because he and I were talking from two completely different frames of reference.

Sadly, I find his reference to be one that is akin to fiddling while Rome burns - the proliferation of unjust laws, and the insistence on some to uphold them, will be the nation's undoing.

Yeah. People don’t seem to understand why we give judges unlimited powers over people’s lives. In this enlightened new world, it’s good for little girls to be handed over to lesbians who bathe naked with them. It will prepare her for the society we’ve created for her. It’s not like this decision could have any permanent repercussions for the little girl. If it destroys her quality of life, we’ve already given judges the power to rectify that situation. If the judge decides she has a low quality of life, he can always follow the example set forth by Judge George Greer. Why can’t more people be as accepting of these recent changes in our judicial system as you are?

Your post is an interesting take on this case. Why do you believe this?
