FEDERAL JUDGE OVERTURNS THE PEOPLE

SPECIAL POST

One again, a Federal Judge has denied the overwhelming popular vote in California against gay marriage.  California voters for the second time voted a constitutional amendment against gay marriage in California, the most recent in 2008 which passed by over 70% of the vote.  However, Federal Appeals Court Judge Stephen Reinhardt ruled that the state has no right to violate the rights of gay Americans.  

First of all, the Federal Court had no jurisdiction to hear the issue.  The subject of marriage is a State right, not a Federal right.  Secondly, the U.S. Constitution does not guarantee the right of anybody to get married.  Therefore, the California vote did not violate the rights of anybody to get married.  This is the most outrageous act of egregious judicial activism I have heard of since the Supreme Court rule that a government has the right to condemn and take private lands to establish commercial ventures.  

Twice the Courts have ruled against the populace of California on this issue.  The people have every right to collectively decide what the rules are going to be as long as those rules do not violate the Constitution.  In states where the voters have decided in favor of gay marriage, I have no problem.  In states where they decide against, no Federal Judge has the power to deny the voters' rights.   

The jackass who decided this case is a Judicial activist who deserves not only to be removed from office, but also to be impeached.  And, if you don't like my opinion on the matter Judge Reinhardt, let's see you defend yours. 

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
