I would like to remind everyone that Judge Stephen Reinhardt is married to Ramona Ripston from the ACLU and was appointed by Jimmy Carter. His chambers is in Los Angeles.

Ramona Ripston is a communist. Check out her record over the decades and you will understand. Reds marry reds or liberal dupes. Some may pose as liberals but their records show who they really are.

Same for Berkeley politicos Tom Bates and Lani Hancock. She is more red than he is, maybe because he served in the military for ten years, but he still married her with her long red record.

They ain’t no Carville-Maitlin, the real political odd-couple.

As for the Ninth Circuit. How they ever passed law school is beyond me. Must have had just as radical and stupid teachers as they turned out to be.

If you had to rate to keep or destroy a court based on how many times they were bitchslapped by the Supreme Court, the Ninth would be laid up in a hospital for life.

The worst court in American jurispurdence history (there are a few sane people on it, but when you work in an insane asylum dominated by the inmates, no matter how sane you are, you are outnumbered and outvoted).

I am very aware of Ramona Ripston. I dislike her immensely. She was on TV everyday in the 1980s and 90s.

This is all just sickening, in the sense at least of disheartening. The acceptance of homosexual marriage amounts to the destruction of marriage, which survives this challenge so far only by steadfastly ignoring it. It’s downright schizophrenic.

"And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there. I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work." Ecclesiastles 3:16,17.

This corruption of marriage will also be required.

The literal meaning Ecclesiasties Greek translation, “Member of the Assembly,” approaches “Preacher,” using the root ekklesia for “assembly,” or “church,” to maintain similarity with Qoheleth. In English, the book is commonly referred to simply as Ecclesiastes.

The book of Ecclesiastes uses the expression ha Elohim, “The God”, 32 times

The name Ecclesiasties is also the standard English bible name for the book. The text quoted is an accurate translation of the Hebrew. Similar thoughts can be found in the Psalms, Malachi, and in Paul's epistles and other passages in the Bible.

Marriage is God's institution, the Bible repeatedly testifies that He judges and will judge those individuals and nations who corrupt it, both in time and eternity. He is the judge of all judges – by Him who is Lord of lords and King of kings.

Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.”

True: Ecc 12:13,14.

Not trying to hijack your thread, but this really stood out to me..

Republican Presidential Candidate Rick Santorum in response on February 12, 2012 rightly said that "I think ... uhm... what Newt said!

I wish people would start thinking about what it takes to be president instead of what it takes to be more conservative than the next guy. There's a guy 2 cubicles down from my office who is a wonderful guy, excellent conservative credentials, but I am not voting for him for president.
