TechnoratiAs Justice Baxter suggested, the “bare majority of this court, not satisfied with the pace of democratic change, … abruptly forestall[ed] that process and substitute[d], by judicial fiat, its own social policy views for those expressed by the People themselves.”
The justices also incorrectly tied in past discrimination against homosexuals with what it views as discrimination in the same-sex marriage debate. Certainly, the past and current discrimination against homosexuals is regrettable and incorrect – as homosexuals are as much God’s creation as any other sinner in this world is. However, barring them from marriage is not a matter of viewing them as people of “lesser stature” or “second-class citizens” but a matter of right and wrong.
Women are not regarded as “second-class citizens” if they are not permitted to enter a men’s restroom. Nor are young adults being discriminated for not being granted Senior Citizen passes or discounts.
In short, square pegs just can’t go into circle holes for a reason, not out of discrimination.
From these points alone, it’s clear to see that the California Supreme Court has erred and must rectify the situation. While it cannot take back what was said and done, it can reopen the path for the People to once again lead this land as they have from the very founding of this nation and, more importantly, give America the opportunity to remain rooted in God’s Law and the path He wishes to guide us on.
The California Supreme Court should delay finalizing its ruling to legalize same-sex “marriage,” as the attorneys general of 10 states are urging them to do.
It should stay its decision until the People of California can decide the issue with an initiative planned for the November ballot – not simply because pro-family groups want them to, but simply to respect the democratic process.
As President Abraham Lincoln had noted in his first inaugural address in 1861, “[i]f the policy of the government, upon vital questions affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court ... the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned the government into the hands of that eminent tribunal.”
Moreover, not only will the Court have taken away the authority of the People from the People, they will have placed themselves above God, who is The Author of The Law.
The California High Court should take a step back and know when their getting off the bench.
