The Law of the Courts
Our Courts continued to pass sweeping laws based on personal convictions today when the Massachusetts Supreme Court ruled that the state must allow gay marriage.
They seemed to get one sentence right and another one wrong when the Chief Justice wrote in the ruling:
Marriage is a vital social institution. The exclusive commitment of two individuals to each other nurtures love and mutual support. It brings stability to our society. For those who choose to marry, and for their children, marriage provides an abundance of legal, financial and social benefits. In return, it imposes weighty legal, financial, and social obligations.
Talk about not knowing your tail from a hole in the ground. I guess no one pointed out to Margaret Marshall (the Chief Justice) that gay people are free to marry just like the rest of society. But, like the rest of society, they can't mock the nature of marriage by 'marrying' someone of the opposite sex.
In the end, the court "ordered" the legislature to pass a law within 180 days allowing some sort of marriage between homosexuals. In Vermont, the same situation resulted in a "civil unions" law.
What a travesty. The time for prayer is at hand.

Help Remove the "GAY MARRIAGE" JUDGES in Mass. -- there is a simple constitutional remedy to remove the SJC 4 via a "Bill of Address" that requires only 21 state senators and 81 representatives to vote to remove the judges for "bad behavior".
Note that SJC Chief Justice Margaret Marshall violated the Mass. Code of Judicial Conduct by delivering the keynote address at the MLGBA (Mass Lesbian/Gay Bar Assoc) Annual fundraising dinner in 1999! (http://www.mlgba.org/briefs/Summer99.htm)
