Federal Judge Vaughn Walker is truly a visionary.
Peering at the 14th Amendment, Walker found something there the authors of the amendment never knew they put there, and even the Warren Court never found there: The states of the Union must recognize same-sex marriages as equal to traditional marriage.
With his discovery, Walker declared Proposition 8, by which 5.5 million Californians voted to prohibit state recognition of gay marriage, null and void. What the people of California voted for is irrelevant, said Walker; you cannot vote to take away constitutional rights.
If the Walker decision is upheld by the 9th Circuit and Supreme Court, homosexual marriage will be imposed on a nation where, in 31 out of 31 state referenda, the people have rejected it as an absurdity.
This is not just judicial activism. This is judicial tyranny.
This is a perversion of what the authors of the Constitution wrote and what the states approved. Through such antidemocratic means, the Left has imposed a social and moral revolution on America with only the feeblest of protests from the people or their elected leaders.

Thus, the Supreme Court purged Christianity from the public schools and public square of a nation whose presidents from Wilson to Truman to Carter declared her to be a Christian country.
Thus, the Supreme Court peered into the Ninth Amendment and found a constitutional right to engage in homosexual acts and procure abortions, both of which had been crimes.
Walker says the only motivations behind Proposition 8 had been "biases" and "moral disapproval," and "moral disapproval ... has never been a rational basis for legislation."
But what else is the basis for laws against polygamy and incest? What else was the basis for the Mann Act, which prevented a man from taking his girlfriend across the

I agree this goes far beyond mere activism, this is dictatorship, and it cannot be tolerated.
It’s the oligarchy we were warned of. We need some level of cushion between the judiciary and political trends, but this is madness.
Our Congress-clowns can sit back, make no controversial laws, upset no one and just let the unelected Judges and administrative agencies pass diktats with the force of law.
It will only get worse until Congress reasserts its legitimate powers, an unlikely occurrence.
Now there has been an infiltrator(s) that listens only to evil. Death, destruction, and imprisonment of the society is inevitable.
Fear mongering by our government. Purpose? Fear makes the public malleable - amenable to the will of the Ruling Class.
I direct your attention to Buchanan’s closing line:
“Historically, from the late Roman Empire to Weimar, flagrant homosexuality has been associated with sick societies, decadent cultures and dying civilizations. Today would appear to be no exception.”
That’s it. Conclusion, we’re sick, decadent, dying.
Not a peep about what we might actually DO about this. He and all the others, and apparently all of us, too, are keyboarding diagnosticians. We recognize the problem, but we don’t advocate doing anything to fix it, or if we advocate, we do it meekly behind the keyboard.
And Buchanan won’t even say this judge ought to be removed. Not by any means. Impeachment proceedings? Tar and feathers? Anything? No. Not even, “he needs to be gone.” Nah, we’ll just wait for the appeal, and when they agree with him we’ll wait for the next appeal and when they 5-4 it we’ll just have to accept it. And we will accept it.
If we were not going to accept it ultimately, we would not accept it now.
The vote in California did not express the will of the people. It expressed their opinion. A mere show of hands, smooth, delicate, empty hands, without authority. Like Pat’s.
When Pat started typing, you needed at least a little force to type the P’s and the Q’s. But that was a long time ago...when men mostly left the typewriting to women...when men defended their liberty instead of whining, waiting, and wringing their impotent hands.
Buchanan’s closing is definitive. But did I say his conclusion is that we’re sick, decadent, dying? Correction! He could not even be that direct. He wrote that flagrant homosexuality is ASSOCIATED with dying societies, and it would APPEAR we are no exception. Even his diagnosis is weasel-worded.
And we keyboarders take it like it’s a pep talk. You tell ‘em Pat!! Go Pat!! Right on!! That’ll show them nancy boys who they’re dealing with!!
Indeed it shows, like a show of hands in California.
"Gay marriage" is a "political trend." Not a popular one, but it is the politics of Big Journalism and the rest of the aparatchiks.
Great points made by Pat Buchanan...people should read and heed
Just wonder when the Liberal Globalist Nutjobs will start attacking Buchanan....esepcially now that faux-cons Glenn Beck and Ann Coulter have no said Prop 8 isn’t an issue.
You aren’t trying to run cover for Glenn Beck, are you?
Buchanan has said and done more than the faux-cons who have ignored the issue....some, like Beck, beginning to wonder if he is really....
Buchanan’s feeble, limp, weasel words here speak for him.
That’s my point too.
What would you propose we do? If voting, contributing, pounding the pavement, writing/calling our representatives isn’t enough, are you talking about armed revolt? Or “shrugging?”
I'm not going to make any suggestions in JR's parlor, where there is a big sign posted saying:
Please: NO profanity, NO personal attacks, NO racism or violence in posts.
Nevertheless, Pat Buchanan is not in JR's parlor, and it would be delightful to hear him say something like: "That judge should be ___ and ___."
And in any case, proposals are something you make on one knee.
Walker’s ruling was so ludicrous that it will almost surely be overturned. Anyone who is familiar with courtroom basics knows full well that this avowed sodomite judge should have recused himself. The idea that homosexual militants were able to cherry-pick a fellow homosexual to preside in the case is beyond outrageous. There needs to be a full investigation into the corrupt selection process. There also seems to be indications that Walker is mentally impaired (AIDS dementia?) and there is not doubt a process for impeachment for just such cases.
