SACRAMENTO - Judge Vaughn Walker has lifted a stay in order regarding last week's verdict that stated Proposition 8, California's law that defined marriage as a union between one man and one woman, is unconstitutional.
Wow! What a shocker!
‘Walker seems to imply that those defending Prop 8 wouldn’t even have standing to appeal’
Walker: I’m the god! No one may challenge my decision!
What about a US amendment.Ie federal defense of marriage amendment
I am begging you in California to thro thi stryannical bastard out of his office and dare the judiciary to enforce their BS decision from his bench. DO it...show who the people are...the ones in charge and NOT the black robes of tryanny.
I heard a Black Preacher on TV last night say:
Regarding Homosexuals...
*I am sick and tired of homosexuals comparing thier SIN to my SKIN*!
Meanwhile, the feral Gerbil population has gone underground in anticipation of raucous jubilation by perverts.
Walker has more power than the President. He can rule by decree and he holds his position for life.
You are probably right though, there are some recent cases that suggest that Kennedy is likely to side against Prop. 8 if it reaches SCOTUS. The court had better be cautious about redefining the clause though, because it could have a lot of unintended consequences.
The Mormons (and others) tried to defend one-man-one-woman marriage and a judge has defeated their efforts.
Who will step up now?
The remarks on Shep’s chat room are almost as discussing.
I even tried to say something on it only to have my remark ignored.
I don’t understand how it is you can have a right to someone else recognizing and subsiding your activity as the State does marriage.
But the Federal usurper court does and as such we have a Nanny state whom a large number of dead beats are demanding their “right” to other peoples wealth, services, and recognition as being something other then an impostor.
It is indeed a sad state of affairs for theses once united States. I could only wish that we could ditch theses deadbeats and assume among the powers of the earth the totally separate but equal station as to deny them the possibility to rob us as they currently are using the government to do so.
“If there was standing at the District Court level there is standing now too.”
Not necessarily. This is a difficult issue. Supreme Court precedent would indicate that if the state doesn’t take it forward, the interveners very likely don’t have standing.
“The Mormons (and others) tried to defend one-man-one-woman marriage and a judge has defeated their efforts.

How can you say the judge has defeated anything when the judge has the arbitrary authority to simply pick who wins and who loses? The Dictator didn’t defeat the he simply choose not to accept their position in pronouncing his dictates to overthrow the State constitution.
It is as this article says: http://www.catholic.org/politics/story.php?id=37755
The branch Hamilton called the least dangerous in Federalist #78 has become the most dangerous and the reason is that our politicians have betrayed us in allowing theses would be dictators uses of their swords.
Be careful what you ask for, because you can’t beat God.
Why have elections if a single judge can overturn the will of the people?
Judge Vaughn Walker is a FEDERAL judge not a Californian State judge. The only way to throw him out is retirement, death, or impeachment and Conviction by the US House and Senate. Everyone in the US can demand their representatives draft articles of impeachment against this judge.
“Not necessarily. This is a difficult issue. Supreme Court precedent would indicate that if the state doesn’t take it forward, the intervenes very likely don’t have standing.”
So your saying that if a leftist state like California sets up a constitutional dispute in which they are doomed to loose and doesn’t win in the Federal court they can set the presidents which dooms all other states?
Meaning one state can thou deception and mistrials help force a political policy on every other state via dictatorial federal judges.
What a corrupt system I don’t care if this is what the authors of our constitution had in mind if this is what they had in mind we have all been made a fool in accepting it.
Its time to leave this cursed, lawless, and oppressive “union”.
I thought we had one.
however the appellate courts can issue a stay.
HOWEVER if the plaintiffs are just going to argue religion then we lose.
They have to defeat the “born that way” physical behavior assumption.
I won't say any more except I won't shed a tear if fed up Americans drag this judge out of his house one night
