Walker, Gay Judge?

Walker, Gay Judge?

The jury’s outrageous nullification of the evidence in the OJ Simpson case was nothing compared last week’s judicial nullification of the evidence in the Prop 8 case.

District Court Judge Vaughan R. Walker threw out thousands of years of tradition and overruled 7,oo1,084 good citizens and voters of the State of California at the same time he labelled them as irrational, hateful cowards.

In finding for the plaintiffs in the now-famous same-sex, homosexual marriage case Perry v. Schwarzenegger–the matter of Proposition 8– he didn’t quite use those words, opting instead for the more judicious language of irrational “fear” and “animus,” which amount to the same thing.

In a very revealing sentence from his decision quoted in a CNS article by Terence P. Jeffrey, he also said, “The evidence did not show any historical purpose for excluding same-sex couples from marriage . . . Rather, the exclusion exists as an artifact of a time when the genders were seen as having distinct roles in society and in marriage. That time has passed:” http://tiny.cc/hxnxs

Judge Walker thereby does not perceive “any historical purpose” for society to reserve marriage to those capable of procreation. His twisted decision is virtually palpable: Try the very perpetuation of a society, Judge Vaughn!

Furthermore, his usage of the words “artifact” the time for which had “passed” reveals the judge to be an incredibly supercilious individual who somehow felt empowered to take unto himself the right to toss out ancient precedent as nothing more significant than an old shoe and to proclaim that we are now living in his version of the astrological Age of Aquarius because the time had arrived for homosexuals in A.D. 2010.

What arrogance and presumption! . . .
