This decision signals the death of freedom because in this case Oregon’s constitutional amendment which was passed by the voters in an initiative petition was struck down by a judge in a non-adversarial lawsuit. What happened is that the Democrat Governor and Attorney General of Oregon colluded with the gay activists and refused to defend the Marriage Amendment which was passed by the voters of Oregon. Then the corrupt judge refused to allow the National Organization for Marriage to defend the law. At this point this was no longer an adversarial proceeding and the judges ruling should thus have no weight.

Then the corrupt judge refused to allow the National Organization for Marriage to defend the law.

The judge's hands were tied on this issue by what the Supreme Court did last summer. Roberts (along with Scalia, Ginsburg, Breyer, and Kagan) decided that third parties cannot step in to defend a voter-passed law when a governor or state attorney general refuse to do so.
