JUDICIAL TYRANNY - No peoples' voice in Georgia either?

Yesterday's Focus on the Family e-newsletter, CitizenLink, carried this news brief without a source ... a Goggle search revealed nothing. Oh well ... take this with a grain of salt until we hear more.

Georgia Lawmakers Denied Chance to Defend Marriage Amendment

Georgia legislators have been denied the right to defend the constitutionality of the state's voter-approved amendment to protect the traditional definition of marriage.

The amendment, overwhelmingly approved last November, would change the state
constitution to define marriage as solely the union of one man and one woman.

But it has been challenged by gay-rights advocates who claim the language was misleading.

The author of the amendment, former state Sen. Mike Crotts, asked the court for the right to defend the amendment while it heard the lawsuit; Superior Court Judge Constance Russell denied Crotts the opportunity.

Crotts then appealed the lower court decision to the state Supreme Court, but it declined to hear the appeal.

A decision about the lawsuit is expected soon -- and several other states in the midst of similar court battles are eagerly anticipating the outcome.

If the people of a sovereign state can't amend their own constitution what good is a constitutional form of government? Georgians might as well look for some old King George crowns to give to their imperial judiciary; they're ruling anyway.

The way Georgia's judiciary is protecting its backside you'd think that was a hospital gown not a robe.
