Acknowledging that courts interpret law, not write it, the Court of Appeal in California voted 2-1 yesterday to uphold the state’s ban on homosexual “marriage.”
Presiding Justice William McGuiness wrote (emphasis added):
We conclude California’s historical definition of marriage does not deprive individuals of a vested fundamental right or discriminate against a suspect class…The time may come when California chooses to expand the definition of marriage to encompass same-sex unions. That change must come from democratic processes, however, not by judicial fiat.
Knowing the people of California, however liberal, won’t vote to redefine marriage to include “same sex,” homosexual advocacy groups plan to do what all such groups do: take it back to court. They’ll no doubt appeal to the California Supreme Court.
Call it the “wisdom of crowds” if you’d like, but I suspect “the people” think same sex marriage goes too far. Liberals also want Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court-written law legalizing child killing, upheld. Child killing advocates are scared to death to let states vote on the issue.

Later…Somewhat related is another growing “scandal.” Apparently, there’s a list of homosexual Republican Capitol Hill staffers floating around, and radical homosexual groups have sent copies to conservative Christian organizations. The so-called Human Rights Campaign, a homosexual advocacy group I mentioned in an Examiner column, is involved. More here.
Randy Thomas: “We have got to pay attention to the political power brokers, leaders and pundits. Why? Because if we are not willing to speak into all of this obvious degradation of our society we deserve the leaders we get. If we cannot demand a revolution in politics and society that extols honor, integrity and transparency, if we cannot or will not demand true leadership instead of partisan pandering … we deserve this chaos.”
