Same-sex rulings raw judicial fiat

The recent decision in California calling same-sex marriage"legal" should have an enormous effect.

The need to pass amendment protecting marriage as one man, one woman, now becomes very clear.

We have been told we do not need an amendment to our constitution to keep marriage as it has always been since we have a defense of marriage law already.

We only have to look at what took place in both California and Massachusetts where activist judges overruled the will of the people through raw judicial fiat.

In 2000, proposition 22 was passed by the vote of a huge plurality ((61.4) of the citizens of California who wished to keep marriage as it has been for over 2000 years.

In both states, liberal judges acted from their bench to make law, instead of their responsibility to interpret the law.

The people "lost" this one by a score of 4,618,673 (the voters) to 4 (the activist judges).

These judges valued their own beliefs over the will of the people of California and Massachusetts.

Now the people have awoken to realize that to preserve traditional marriage, they must pass a constitutional amendment. Consider ourselves warned!
