I wonder why the Judge ignored the 2004 voter referendum in Kentucky to amend the constitution to define and limit marriage to one man and one woman. Curious omission.

I wonder why the Judge ignored . . .

. . . the most important words in the Constitution: "We, the People . . ."

It does not start out, "We the judges and lawyers . . " and the final arbiter is not the Supreme Court, but We, the People.

I wonder why the Judge ignored . . . is because he's a judge and a lawyer. Once the Supreme Court makes a pronouncement, all other law falls away. At least, to the lawyers and judges. But We, the People have the final say.

I think she was wrong because she's drawing arbitrary lines not supported by Scripture on what is and isn't acceptable, and she doesn't have that authority. If she felt that the particular line in the sand she decided to draw didn't allow formal government recognition of homosexual couples, then she should have resigned. But that's not because the Supreme Court said so. They were wrong, too.
