Judicial Watch Petitions Courts in Support of Calif Prop 8 Marriage Act​

Tom Fitton @ Big Government:


When leftists are unable to persuade voters to adopt their radical agendas at the ballot box, they turn to the courts. Sure enough, there is a battle raging in California now that has far-reaching implications for the bedrock institution of marriage.

On January 29, 2013, Judicial Watch joined with the Allied Educational Foundation (AEF) in filing an amicus curiae brief with the United States Supreme Court in support of California’s Proposition 8, establishing that “only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California.” (On February 7, 2012, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled Proposition 8 unconstitutional by a vote of 2-1, in a decision the amicusbrief says “imputes the worst possible motives to voters.”)

According to the Judicial Watch-AEF amicus brief, should the Supreme Court fail to overturn the Ninth Circuit’s decision, the people of California would be deprived of “the right to decide for themselves the ways in which they want to restrict or liberalize their marriage laws – or not.”

Our amicus continues, “The Ninth Circuit’s sleight of hand decision … constitutes a dangerous erosion of the principle of rational basis review … Furthermore, the Ninth Circuit decision expands the reaches of the Equal Protection clause in such a way as to eclipse the people’s sovereignty to make laws for their own governance … Finally, this [Supreme] Court should find that petitioners have standing to bring this appeal, as a contrary ruling would undermine the people’s rights to initiative and referendum in twenty-six states.”

Yeah! For example, some damned liberal activists hated it when Washington DC tried to ban handguns, and so they ran to the courts!

People should just learn to live with unconstitutional laws!

Is it another Newt Gingrich divorce battle? Or is it Governor Sanford's wife trying to take half of everything he owns for cheating on her?

What is this terrible threat to the bedrock institution of marriage? I can't wait!

Damned straight. If I want to get married, take a mistress, get a divorce, and fight for years in court over custody of my children, then marry my mistress and cheat on her, and then divorce her, too, we simply cannot abide homosexuals destroying this sacred process!

Those damned homos want to file married tax returns and collect Social Security death benefits which they paid for! Bastards!

We straight people with multiple marriages under our belts deserve to have special privileges of cash and prizes from the government that cost other taxpayers money, and must exclude others from these protections given to us by law. We are entitled to these things, even if they do cost a lot of money out of other peoples' pockets.

By golly.

who gets to judge what is constitutional and what is not?
