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! . . .

Homosexuals Win a Battle But Not the War

Homosexuals Win a Battle But not the War

Once again, a federal court has overturned, if not spat upon, the will of the people.

As in Massachusetts last month where another federal judge threw out key provisions of DOMA, the Defense of Marriage Act, saying “that it is unconstitutional to define marriage only as a union between a man and a woman,” California’s Proposition 8 was struck down by Chief U.S. District Court Judge Vaughan Walker on the same grounds.

Prop 8, passed on November 4th, 2008 by a vote of 52.5% to 47.5% in one of the most liberal states in the nation, read simply, “Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California.”

That date, of course, will live in infamy as the date on which Barack Hussein Obama was elected president of the United States. Californians helped elect him, apparently oblivious of the fact he forcefully opposed DOMA, the federal version of Prop 8.

Inconsistently, the pro-gay president has also said he does not support same-sex marriage.

So, the battle lines have been re-drawn just as they were before and after the Proposition 8 vote, and battle lines are not an exaggeration.

Back in 2008, the campaign by homosexuals to defeat the ballot measure was marked by threats of violence against its backers and, following passage, homosexuals launched a nationwide, virtual rampage in protest.

Their targets were primarily Catholics and Catholic churches and Mormons and their Church Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. When those efforts at intimidation and calls for a reversal failed, gays took to the courts as they always do to nullify the majority opinion.

That battle was re-joined before and during the California case, Perry vs. Schwarzenegger, and the decision was a foregone conclusion.

Governor Arnold refused to defend his own state’s law, the suit was filed in San Francisco which voted down the proposition 3 to 1, and Judge Walker agreed to have the proceedings put on YouTube against the recommendation of the U.S. Supreme Court. . .
