So many “judges” have their heads in a dark & smelly place.
Only MASSIVE civil disobedience will stop these damn judges from CONTINUING to legislate from the bench on social issues.
Government has got to get out of the marriage business sooner rather than later. They have nothing but contempt for the institution and are utterly incapable of defining it.
Appointed by Obama, and according to Wiki his “domestic partner” is Michael Hogan.
Anything they want gets approved once by some judge, and bang! it's decided forever. "Settled Law"
I do believe all these judges interfering to knock down traditional marriage policies in one state after another is being coordinated from the White House. It’s a calculated war on the will of the people and on the rights of the states designed to impose gay marriage everywhere by judicial fiat.

District Court Judge Michael McShane
Nomination to U.S. District Court[edit]
On September 19, 2012, President Obama nominated McShane to serve as a United States District Judge for the United States District Court for the District of Oregon, to the seat vacated by Judge Michael R. Hogan who took senior status on September 24, 2011.[3] On January 2, 2013, his nomination was returned to the President, due to the sine die adjournment of the Senate.
On January 3, 2013, he was renominated to the same office. His nomination was reported by the Senate Judiciary Committee on March 7, 2013, by voice vote.[4]
The Senate confirmed his nomination on May 20, 2013, by voice vote. He received his commission on May 30, 2013.
Personal[edit]
McShane is openly gay,[5] and he is the first openly gay federal judge in Oregon.[6] His partner is Gregory Ford.[1]
Well, knock me over with a feather ........ when Democrats can’t get around the law with a judge, as here, they want to change the Constitution, as with the `Citizens United’ case where the SCOTUS disappointed them.
This decision signals the death of freedom because in this case Oregon’s constitutional amendment which was passed by the voters in an initiative petition was struck down by a judge in a non-adversarial lawsuit. What happened is that the Democrat Governor and Attorney General of Oregon colluded with the gay activists and refused to defend the Marriage Amendment which was passed by the voters of Oregon. Then the corrupt judge refused to allow the National Organization for Marriage to defend the law. At this point this was no longer an adversarial proceeding and the judges ruling should thus have no weight.
Fixed.
So much for Rand Paul’s States Rights approach to solving this problem.
Why vote when you can have one leftist judge overrule an entire state?
Another judge that needs removal by the legislature. Unbelievable.
Elections have consequences. The judge is a pervert what else can we expect?
It’s unconstitutional? What right does that fall under? “You hereby have the right to marry anything you want”? Funny how they treat the 2nd Amendment like it doesn’t exist, but somehow can mention the constitution for rights that don’t.
Presumably if a Republican appointed these judge positions, they could in 4 years find same sex marriage unconstitutional and ban it. Who would stop them?

Still can’t find the article in the Constitution that gives a Federal judge authority over a sovereign state.
Isn’t it nice that gay judges will now be allowed to change the US Constitution to enable gay marriage.
