Federal Judge Spits in the Face of 7,000,000 Californians

The judge was gay - what did you expect would happen:

California’s Proposition 8 ban on gay marriage is unconstitutional, Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker ruled today.

The ruling is expected to be appealed to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal and then the U.S. Supreme Court. Despite the favorable ruling for same-sex couples, gay marriage will not be allowed to resume as the appeals process moves forward.

“Proposition 8 fails to advance any rational basis in singling out gay men and lesbians for denial of a marriage license,” Walker wrote in his 138-page ruling. “Indeed, the evidence shows Proposition 8 does nothing more than enshrine in the California Constitution the notion that opposite sex couples are superior to same-sex couples.”

“Because California has no interest in discriminating against gay men and lesbians, and because Proposition 8 prevents California from fulfilling its constitutional obligation to provide marriages on an equal basis, the court concludes that Proposition 8 is unconstitutional.”

I still think Proposition 8 will survive a Supreme Court challenge once the Ninth Circus gets done affirming this judge's ruling.

Someday the citizens of this country are going to get fed up with unelected, unaccountable judges overturning the will of the voters and they're going to rebel. Unfortunately, we can't do much about the people currently on the bench, but we can do a lot about future judges by simply electing presidents who will appoint judges who believe the constitution means what it says and doesn't approach every case with the attitude that the voters are too stupid to know what's right for them.

In the meantime we can start by flushing society's debris from the House and Senate this November so we can stop liberal judges from being confirmed during the last two years of Obama's reign.
