Gay-vows zealotry from the bench

It's safe to assume that Judge Vaughn Walker voted against Proposition 8 banning gay marriage in California back in 2008. Throughout the trial on the measure in his courtroom, he proved himself as zealously in favor of gay marriage -- if not more so -- than the plaintiffs petitioning to have it declared unconstitutional.

If he voted "no" a couple of years ago, Judge Walker wasn't alone. More than 6.4 million Californians voted against Proposition 8. At 48 percent, that was almost enough to constitute a majority. But Judge Walker presumably got two bites at the apple: First in the voting booth, then from the bench when he invalidated the votes of the 52 percent of people who voted the other way. It's nice to be judge.

Judge Walker's decision is such a raw exercise of judicial imperiousness, he might as well have gone all the way and sentenced the defenders of Proposition 8 to suffer, Chinese-style, a parade of shame through the streets of San Francisco wearing placards emblazoned "I

Support Bizarre and Retrograde Social Practices."

Does anyone know where to get a hold of the text of the ruling?

[HiTech RedNeck]

Well, all this will serve to get the bitter clingers good and ready to serve up a piping hot “November Surprise.” One would think this would have been politically finessed a little better. But this is not even a semi-rational movement. This is a rabid dog.

Reprobate mind, crazy people, marked for destruction, ... are the homosexuals.

The GOP has to clean their own house first.
We need to undo our mistake

when, in 1973, the American Psychiatric Association removed homosexuality from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, thus negating its previous definition of homosexuality as a clinical mental disorder.

Sexual orientation and the law

• Employment discrimination refers to discriminatory employment practices such as bias in hiring, promotion, job assignment, termination, and compensation, and various types of harassment. In the United States there is "very little statutory, common law, and case law establishing employment discrimination based upon sexual orientation as a legal wrong."^[170] Some exceptions and alternative legal strategies are available. President Bill Clinton's Executive Order 13087 (1998) prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation in the competitive service of the federal civilian workforce,^[171] and federal non-civil service employees may have recourse under the due process clause of the U.S. Constitution.^[172] Private sector workers may have a Title VII action under a quid pro quo sexual harassment theory,^[173] a "hostile work environment" theory,^[174] a sexual stereotyping theory,^[175] or others.^[170]
• Housing discrimination refers to discrimination against potential or current tenants by landlords. In the United States, there is no federal law against such discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity, but at least thirteen states and many major cities have enacted laws prohibiting it.^[176]
• Hate crimes (also known as bias crimes) are crimes motivated by bias against an identifiable social group, usually groups defined by race, religion, sexual orientation, disability, ethnicity, nationality, age, gender, gender identity, or political affiliation. In the United States, 45 states and the District of Columbia have statutes criminalizing various types of bias-motivated violence or intimidation (the exceptions are AZ, GA, IN, SC, and WY). Each of these statutes covers bias on the basis of race, religion, and ethnicity; 32 of them cover sexual orientation, 28 cover gender, and 11 cover transgender/gender-identity.^[177] In October 2009, the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act, which "...gives the Justice Department the power to investigate and prosecute bias-motivated violence where the perpetrator has selected the victim because of the person's actual or perceived race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or disability," was signed into law and makes hate crime based on sexual orientation, amongst other offenses, a federal crime in the United States.^[178]

NO!!!
The GOP doesn't have the guts to ... STAND UP FOR GOD.

Our Lord is very clear about the FACT
that homosexuality is a mental disorder (reprobate mind)
and He's quite clear about
WHO "MARKED them" with this punishment.

We need to believe the gospel, ... and REPENT ... and OBEY GOD.

Then we gather and bind them,
and, then we watch ... on the edge of the Lake of Fire,
while our Savior grabs them by the neck
and throws them into the Lake of Fire
.

Tells you how scurrilously activist the far-Left Homophilic 9th Circus Court of S**theels is if EVERYONE knows this is going straight to the Supremes.

[HiTech RedNeck]

All this drama of hell fire is almost certainly still past the brow of visible history. What’s so notable here is the fire storm (no pun intended) of criticism this has brought down. Europe? They swallowed it with scarcely a peep and no Sodomic sulfuric smiting is to be seen. Why didn’t Islam get chucked into the furnace centuries ago, if we want to talk about abominations?

Anyhow, when the average American finally groks what the mindset of the fags (yeah I said fags, so ban me) is, they will revolt in horror. You won’t have to exhort them to repent; they will be begging to.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Yeah, by luck a panel of the 9th might reverse this, but en banc the reversal would be reversed again. And so, Mr. Justice Kennedy, which way shall the US go???

[Yosemitest]

If we repent ... and Obey God, then we DO what God told us to do.

How we do it, isn't that important.
But doing it ... is important.

[HiTech RedNeck]

We, as a gentile country, put ourselves under a yoke of ritual law that Paul under the direction of the Holy Spirit disavowed for the gentiles? (Acts 15)

Sorry, don’t buy that, no matter how satisfying it might be to fantasize the stoning of that crowd.

[Yosemitest]

"Why didn’t Islam get chucked into the furnace centuries ago"

I would say that God's had them in the furnace, ever since their land has turned to desert.
It wasn't always desert, you know.
Look what God told them long ago.

and I will make your heaven as iron,
and your earth as brass:
And your strength shall be spent in vain:
for your land shall not yield her increase,
neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits ...

[monocle]

It’s not who votes but who counts.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Why should they count themselves as afflicted as long as they have oil and they can green their deserts and even have indoor ice skiing by main force?

It confirmed that your theology was screwey the moment you trotted out Levitical commands to the Jewish people to stone homosexuals and claimed Americans ought to obey that. If it wasn’t a coy link, you’d probably have gotten banned from FR forthwith.

[HiTech RedNeck]

You put yourself in God’s seat. Better watch out, you might have unexpected company.

[Yosemitest]

Where is your reference to stoning, for homosexuals?

I'll take God's laws over mans' laws any day.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Zip into your little time machine and go to pre-Christian Judea, where you’ll be happy with the little minded subset of the bible you have embraced.

[HiTech RedNeck]

The customary means was stoning, for the verse you cited. You also had to go outside the camp if you ate pork or oysters... you cool with that too?

[Yosemitest]

I ask again, where’s your reference?

[HiTech RedNeck]

You quibble.

[Vaduz]

Wonder if the judge would think it unconstitutiona if I wed three womwn??.
