One Judge vs 7 million votes

[krashkart]

"Those that want to uphold traditional family values are going to be outraged," said Napier, of the Alliance Defense Fund of Scottsdale, Ariz.

Family values in the context of Prop 8 (and similar propositions across the nation) needs a firm swat to the behind for being rude and selfish.

"The whole nation is watching,

Most of the nation went to work today.

and the whole nation should be quaking to think that a single judge sitting in California can reverse the will of 7 million voters."

All that's quaking right now are the Jell-O shots.

The judge did the right thing. Prop 8 represents a movement to deny unalienable rights to American citizens, based on a notion that same-sex marriage runs counter to what is considered by some to be appropriate. The right of 7 million voters, in this case, was the right to fair representation in the court, and they got that much -- and more if you count the fact that they already had a legal right to marry. They can cry all over their pancakes all they like, but justice was served.

So what did they lose? Nothing. But their feelings are hurt and they will complain about it until they get their way. Family values indeed.
