Left Wing Federal Judge
Here’s the latest salvo from the Christian Coalition. I was trying to think up some witty commentary on this, but I think it’s funny enough without any exegesis:
LEFT-WING FEDERAL JUDGE JOSEPH TAURO AFFIRMS 4 RENEGADE MASSACHUSETTS SUPREME COURT JUSTICES WHO ARE FORCING HOMOSEXUAL “MARRIAGES” ON AMERICA SET TO BEGIN ON MONDAY, MAY 17TH
On Thursday, a left-wing federal judge in Boston, Massachusetts, U.S. District Judge Joseph Tauro, declined to grant an emergency stay on homosexual “marriages” set to begin in Massachusetts on Monday, May 17th. Matthew Staver, who is one of the attorneys representing 11 Massachusetts lawmakers and a Catholic activist said regarding the federal judge’s decision: “We will appeal this case as far as necessary to ensure that the separation-of-powers principle is upheld in Massachusetts. The Republican form of government must be restored so the people can have a chance to define marriage”. Four Justices on the Massachusetts Supreme Court led by ultra-liberal Chief Justice Margaret Marshall in a 4-3 decision, tyrannically overstepped its authority as it unilaterally redefined marriage law to allow homosexual “marriages” in its November 18, 2003 Goodridge decision. Massachusetts Episcopal Bishop Thomas Shaw, leader of one of the most liberal Episcopal dioceses in the country, actually is banning his diocese clergy from solemnizing homosexual “marriages” stating that “…marriage in the Episcopal Church is between a man and a woman”. Call the U.S. Capitol switchboard at 202-225-3121 or you can go to http://www.cc.org/legis/contactcongress.html and urge your Congressman and two Senators to co-sponsor the Federal Marriage Amendment that will finally help stop the judicial tyranny in America.
Nice use of adjectives, at least.

Kudos to a stepladder of judicial fora with the independence and courage to embrace what is right. I know the federal courts based their decisions on procedural issues rather than substance. It was right of them to do so. In light of all those ersatz Bush v. Gore decisions, though, who knew what to expect? So I praise them for doing their jobs. But our Supreme Judicial Court… I beam with pride that I live in a state which has the courage to interpret our Constitution fairly and without prejudice. And without bowing to political pressure. There is no compelling argument against this decision. The only explanation for the public outcry against it is outright homophobia. I feel confident that as the public realizes that their lives will not change even if a gay or lesbian married couple lives next door, any amendment restricting liberty will fail.
