JUDICIAL TYRANNY - California style!

It is becoming increasingly clear in California, the courts do not care what the people say or want; time after time peoples initiatives have been blocked or overturned by the liberal judiciary in the land of fruits, flakes, and nuts.

It truly is an embarrassment to be from California!

In California, advocates of traditional family values are incensed that an appeals court has determined that a new state law giving same-sex domestic "partners" the same rights as married couples does not violate the state's Defense of Marriage Initiative, which passed overwhelmingly five years ago.

In March 2000, 61 percent of voters in the Golden State approved Proposition 22, which states that "only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California." But on Monday (April 4), the California Court of Appeal, Third District, handed down a 26-page ruling upholding a lower-court decision that stated a new domestic partner law did not violate that measure. The new law bestows upon registered domestic partners "the same rights, protections, benefits, responsibilities, obligations, and duties" as those given to married individuals.

And because the new law does not undermine the marriage initiative passed in 2000, the court said on Monday, separate voter approval is not mandatory. It is because of rulings like this, says Randy Thomasson of the Campaign for Children and Families, that "fed-up California voters" have no choice but to rise up and protect marriage from the "clutches of the bureaucracy." The only way to do that, he says, is through an amendment to the state constitution.

Well, in the words of Larry the Cable Guy let's "get 'er done."
