For years I have wondered and feared what would happen once liberals took control of the Supreme Court. My fears have now come true.

"It also found a lack of standing in a case challenging California’s Proposition 8, which banned same-sex marriage. "

That was troubling to me. If an petition of redress is put forth by citizens and voted for, is is because the State is not performing. But if the State decides not to defend the petition the redress will never happen. Weird. So much for the right of petition.

The public always should have standing against the government.

This guys incredibly poor reading of the case and incorrect assumptions goes to show how easy a law degree is to obtain.

This could explain why he practices law in Lima, Oh. Or as Ohioans refer to it The a$$hole of Ohio.

Prop 8 was NOT found unconstitutional as the court ruled specifically that states had the express right to define marriage in their respective states.

The Lower Courts had struck down Prop 8 as unconstitutional to the US Constitution. Since the justices held that states could make marriage laws, prop 8 reverts back to a state of constitutionality because it is enshrined in the State of California’s Constitution by a vote of the people.

The State of California can not legally issue marriage licenses to same sex couples. They are prohibited by their own Constitution. Not that It matters to the Leftist politicians in California.

The California Governor and Attorney General have violated their oaths of office along with every government official that issues a license for marriage to a same sex couple.

A local Republican judge should issue an arrest warrant and require a sheriff to arrest the Governor, Attorney General and any public official that is in violation of the Constitution and hold them without bail as flight risks.

They have violated the public trust and their sworn oaths of office to uphold and defend the Constitution of California and the United States.
