Gay Judge? Are you Sh**ing me?

Judge being gay a nonissue
during Prop. 8 trial


STOP IT!  JUST STOP IT!

Appearance of impropriety: Deciding when a judge's impartiality might reasonably be questioned

  • How Does Your Conduct Appear to Someone Else? 
  • Does the conduct offend anyone or make you appear to be prejudiced or biased?
Appearance of impropriety!  This is so incredibly basic;  it's  unbelievable the judge didn't recuse himself, or been challenged by the government's lawyers. Barn. Midnight. Rope.

I can't take it either. The three branches of government have been bastardized to suit Liberalism. Because the Constitution is now used as asswipe, it will never be corrected. I don't think I should even bother to vote anymore. It's all so pointless. Even our electoral process is a sham.

When will we reach a tipping point?

Ya know, this doesn't bother me all that much. It's further evidence to those who perhaps don't follow the news like we do that gummint isn't quite right these days.

Gays getting married? What do I care, just don't try redefining the English language, call it civil union and I'm fine with it (and give us back gay, it had another definition when Wodehouse used it).

We don't really have to worry about Thomas having a heart attack or Scalia choking on a pretzel. The Supreme Court will overturn this overwhelmingly.

It’s seems like everything is headed for the Courts: immigration, health care, marriage, the environment, taxation, State sovereignty and the economy.

When these things all get there, and you can bet they will, if the decisions of the Judicial Branch resembles the decision today on Prop 8, and continue to defy the will of the People, that’s the Tipping Point.

The only question is when, or maybe which decision.

The fruits and nuts residing in
CA don't even understand their own laws. Despite Prop 8, their "domestic partnerships" law gives them the same rights and privileges as granted to married heteros.

State of California Attorney General Edmund G. "Jerry" Brown Jr. DID NOT defend the vote of the electorate as expressed in the approval of Proposition 8. My question is: Challenged by who's government's lawyers?"

Let's see how it goes when they have to pay the marriage tax to the IRS. There are drawbacks to being married.
