One Nation, Under Judges, With Tryanny, and Elitism, For All
Back in year 2000, California voters were asked whether they wanted to affirm a pre-existing ban on gay marriages, and, further, whether they wanted California not to recognize same-sex marriages, or civil unions, that might be issued by other jurisdictions.
Over 7.5 million people voted on that referendum.
And the results?
61.40 percent – voted to ban gay marriages and not to recognize such unions from sister states.
38.60 percent – voted against the anti-gay marriage referendum.
Yet another “slim majority.”
Today, however, a state judge, on the San Francisco County Superior Court, said the Golden State’s laws against gay marriages were null and void.
Incidentially, S.F. County Superior Court, for those not in the know, is such a bastion of “sophistication” and “intelligence,” it recently had a former traffic commissioner serving as its presiding judge.
In any event, it appears raTHer-obvious that the political far left intends to keep the issue of gay marriages in the headlines.
Politically speaking, of course, that makes sense . . . on Planet Pauline Kael, that is.
The very last time the far left made gay marriages a major issue: (1) the Democratic Party lost net seats in the U.S. House, (2) the Democrats lost four net seats in the U.S. Senate, (3) Tom Daschle became the first Senate Caucus Leader to be voted out of office in 52 years, and, of course (4) George W. Bush was re-elected, with the largest share of the national vote since 1988. Additionally, voters in all 13 states, in which state constitutional referendums were placed on ballots, banned such unions, with the closest margin being the 57-43 photo finish, from up in “liberal Oregon.”
Proving, yet again, that you can lead partisan-liberal Democrats to reality, but, alas, you can’t make them think.
