California Judge Continues the Judicial Push for Gay Marriage

A California judge ruled that California's ban on gay marriage offends equal protection and is therefore unconstitutional. Her we go again. Judges across this country are going nuts invalidating laws. They are invalidating budgets, demanding funding changes, promoting a convenant heretofore historically reserved exclusively for a man and a woman, they are attempting to take control of every facet of governmental responsibility based on some theory of self-granted supreme power.

If a judge can say this or that is unconstitutional, he can vest total control of everything in himself. That is not the way this country was designed. It is an abuse of power we can ill afford to tolerate.

It will be interesting to see what happens when gays challenge states where state constitutional amendments prohibiting gay marriage have been passed based on those amendments offending the federal constitution. When that happens, we are going to have a revolt in this country like we have never seen. The seeds have been sown.

  • First of all, gays and lesbians are free to marry in this country. They just have to marry someone of the opposite sex. I understand this is of no comfort to gays and lesbians, but the fact remains, both gays and lesbians are free to marry.

    But this is not an issue of "equal protection" or "freedom". I just explained above, that gays and lesbians are free to marry.

    However, I don't agree that the U.S. Constitution has been violated here. If homosexuals were banned from marrying anyone, then that would be a federal violation. But that's not the case here.

    Furthermore, marriage is not regulated or administered at the federal level. Therefore, it's not a federal matter, and hence, there is no violation of the U.S. Constitution.

    It's strictly a state matter. And thus far, California already has a law on the books defining what marriage is.
