California Judges Overturns Gay Marriage Ban
A lot of people I know say marriage is between a man and a woman. They don't care if gays and lesbians want to live together legally, as in a marriage, just don't call it marriage. Some have chosen "domestic partnership" as a substitute.

Now California judges, have overturned the law passed by a vote of the people that banned gay marriage, saying in the 4-3 decision Thursday, "that domestic partnerships are not a good enough substitute for marriage in an opinion written by Chief Justice Ron George."

I think the people who passed the ban should stand up and say, "That decision is not good enough!"

UPDATE: Mike Reagan: I Am Disgusted with California:

Reacting to the decision of the California Supreme Court to ignore Proposition 22, which declares that “Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California," and was passed with a whopping 61 percent of the vote, an outraged Michael Reagan urged California voters to join him in refusing to vote for any ballot measures in the State of California in the 2008 November election since the courts can simply nullify their votes whenever they want to.
INDEED!

Another case of activist judges telling the citizenry that the voice of the people means nothing.

A perfect example of how the courts could care less how the people vote. Elected politicians need to respect the word of the people and expel the activist judge and put into the law the will of the voters.

Wwll. Cheezer, right now I'm pretty discouraged with the whole bunch. THIS, on top of the interior department declaring the polar bear and endangered species and John McCain acting like a democrat on global warming, and being called a anti-immigrant racist because we care about our borders. I don't know man if the fight can be won, anymore.

With the state of politics today and the corruption of our election process, I tend to agree that the country may have gone down the road to hell and may not be able to turn around.
How sad that the greatest civilization in history has begun its demise and we may live to see its complete failure.
