NO!!!!!! The people of Nebraska voted for this!
YOU LIBERAL TYRANT!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE PEOPLE VOTED!!!!!!!!!!
YOU CANNOT UNDERMINE THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS JUDGE MUST BE IMPEACHED NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here it comes, as predicted.
Betcha he's a Clinton Nominee! We need a list of all the judges who've ruled "against the mainstream" on the liberal side and send it up to Washington to have made into a CHART for those damn senators!
I would love to read the actually ruling on this. Why don't we all just give up and tell the homosexuals that they win. Take over our schools and tell our kids homosexuality is wonderful and leads to a happy, fulfilling life. Let them get married and live happily ever after. We are wasting our time trying to fight. We are obviously losing.

No surprise hear. That's what liberals do, sooner or later they find their judge.
Period.
"U.S. District Judge Joseph Bataillon was nominated to the bench in January of 1997 and confirmed by the Senate nearly 10 months later."
Clinton appointee. Why am I not surprised?
U.S. District Judge Joseph Bataillon issued a midnight order temporarily restraining the U.S. Department of Agriculture from shutting down Nebraska Beef Company in Omaha for alleged violation of meat safety rules.
The DemoRats pucker everytime this issue comes up. This is one they just can't win. The more it is in the news the better for the GOP.
Judge declares mistrial after making Mexican joke
September 28, 2001
OMAHA, Neb. - A federal judge declared a mistrial in a civil case against two police officers accused of using excessive force after the plaintiffs' attorney objected to a joking comment the judge made about Mexicans.
U.S. District Judge Joseph Bataillon ordered a mistrial Monday in the case brought by relatives of Guadalupe Vallesillo Jr. against Omaha Police Officers Alan Reyes and Brian Heath.
A coroner's report said Vallesillo, 20, died of an asthma attack while struggling with the officers in 1997. The family alleges the officers used excessive force and did not give Vallesillo the proper medication.
During jury selection Monday, a juror told Bataillon that her husband had been arrested in Mexico, and had been jailed wearing little or no clothing.
Bataillon responded that people traveling in Mexico should carry extra cash.
He later told the Omaha World-Herald that he was trying to make a joke about some Mexican officials' reputation for taking bribes. But the plaintiffs, who are Mexican-American, complained.
"The message telegraphed to the jury by a person of authority was: It is OK to apply a lesser standard to people of Mexican heritage," Vallesillo family attorney Dorothy A. Walker said.
Bataillon apologized.
"It was inappropriate in the context of this jury trial to say anything that could be disparaging to people of Mexican descent," Bataillon told the newspaper. "I apologize. It just wasn't very smart."
Assistant City Attorney Tom Mumgaard said the remark was innocuous and drew laughs in the courtroom.
A new trial date has not been set.

Surprise, surprise - - this liberal activist judge is a Clinton appointee.
This scumbag Bataillon is corrupt to the core.
Ping to self for later pingout.
So much for Roe v Wade.
Since when is a vote of the people not considered the "ordinary political process?"
This guy is only making matters worse for the gays. It's going to throw kerosene on the fire. Those floozies are in trouble!!!
Someone 'splain it to me--it was a constitutional provision that he then called unconstitutional... how does that work?
But of course we shouldn't amend the US constitution to prevent judges from doing this...
Does anyone know which Constitution this judge said was violated -- Nebraska's or the US Constitution? Either way, I'd expect him to be overruled by a higher federal court.
