Given the judge’s name, it is fitting that his decision is 100% Bull.

Calif citizens passed a “marriage is straight” proposition law and so now a homosexual judge is tasked to decide if it is Constitutional or if he personally likes it, either of those two criteria being how Supreme Court and down judges make their rulings. The latter particularly.

For sure we need Der Furher’s new woman as the 2nd of the Supreme Court judges. After all, the stodgy old Supreme Court needs new, fresh thinking and seeing as she has little or no idea of the difference between the Constitution and “taking a constitutional”, plus her belief that the Courts should do whatever the Exec/Legis want, and that rule by “Cuz I sez so.” is valid.
Plus “international law” should trump the U.S. Constitution (i.e. whatever law is in Cuba, China, Russia, Sudan, North Korea, the Gaza Strip, etc).
