Can this state POSSIBLY get any more fouled up? Actually, sounds like they're building up momentum! ;-)

I am sick of these judges.
To: Sub-Driver
By happy coincidence it looks like I'll be leaving Maryland and going to Virginia soon. The stench of state politics was getting to be way too much for me anyway.
To: Sub-Driver
Pure example of judicial activism, go against the will of the people and fraudulently claim it within the realm of the Constitution.

This is funny.
When the LDS appealed the rulings against Polygamy, the federal courts gave exactly the opposite reasoning, basically stating that the traditional and societal values of marriage are so important they override the First Amendment religious protections afforded the Latter-Day Saints.

The societal implications of condoning, encouraging and accepting psychologically aberrant behavior should be obvious.

No, they are not good people or they wouldn't adopt a child into what has been objectively proven to be an unhealthy environment for normal human psychosexual development.
They are selfish people who demand others accomodate their dysfunction, and attempt to push it on a child in one case.
They just happen to be polite, tell good jokes and maybe have nice and pleasant dinner parties.
Bill Clinton was supposed to be tons of fun to have around, too. Witty and pleasant company.

To: Sub-Driver
Whatever happened to "Marriage is a sacrament"?
Civil unions if gays wish, but marriage, not. It is not up to courts to legislate that a psychologically disordered group has a "right" to a religiously derived sacrament.
That is up to the churches ('nother issue there).

I don't know about in MD, however in MA, Margaret Marshall spoke before the gay lesbian lobby, before you refused to recuse herself from the case against same sex pseudo marriage. She told the plaintiffs in the case to bring the case before her and they would win. LGBT
The other judge who recently gave no jail time for the rapist teacher, even though he confessed, and thew boy was 13 at the time, also spoke before this same groups of perverts.
It's going to come down to, we will protect our children, because these soulless people in our government won't.

"How can these activist judges get away with legislating from the bench???"
That's what MA citizens have been asking for the past few year. Especially since OUR constitution, as in MA's, strictly forbids it, and further says, the Governor, and the Governors council are the only ones who can legislate in all matters of marriage.

Yep, in ultra-liberal Maryland, a judge can read into the state constitution that anyone has the constitutional right to not have his/her/it's feelings hurt. Therefore, one must be allowed to marry whatever he/she/it has sex with.
There has been a HUGE fight to block a vote on a state constitutional ban on marriage other between one man one woman. The opponents kept saying that marriage between homosexuals is illegal so there's no reason for the constitutional ban. They cried that they were having their faces rubbed in the ban. Gee... a liberal judge declares the law unconstitutional. Of course the liberals fighting the constitutional ban knew that some liberal judge in Maryland would strike down the law.

Who cares? Let them get married if they want to. Yeah, homosexuality only takes, on average, 20 years off of one's life. Let's promote it as a wonderful lifestyle to our country's children via endorsing the lifestyle choice by equating it to a married man and woman. And since it's a choice (if it were not there would be no ex-homosexuals) the kids can experiment with it, spread AIDS, have all kinds of fun! While we're at it lets promote drunk driving too. Who cares? It's just a lifestyle choice - some say alcoholism is even genetic...
