A judge ruled

Stunning that one judge can overrule the people of California.

judge ruled Monday that California can no longer justify limiting marriage to a man and a woman, a legal milestone that if upheld on appeal would pave the way for the nation's most populous state to follow Massachusetts in allowing same-sex couples to wed.

If the gender of the couple doesn't matter, should the number? What about polygamists?

"It appears that no rational purpose exists for limiting marriage in this state to opposite-sex partners," Kramer wrote.




Also no rational reason why mother-daughter, father-son, brother-brother, sister-sister can't marry. In the case of mother-daughter or father-son, it would be quite practical for children taking care of elderly parents and needing the SS survivor benefits, and no inhertance tax.

No, it will go to the CA Supreme Court, which is surprisingly conservative.

Yes, the SCOCA is conservative, but it shouldn't be surprising. The SCOCA Justices are appointed by the Governer... and since 1967, a Republican has sat in the Governor's office for 26 of the 38 years (with only the 8 years of Governor Moonbeam Brown, and the 4+ years of Governor Gray-out Davis breaking the string.)

Right!!!

The way we are going, there will be no need for the likes of the Michael Jackson trial. Under equal protection, if he likes young boys, well then he should be allowed to have them.

Our government is run by the Constitution. The constitution is how the people tell the governmen how to run it and the parameters of the laws it can pass with the peoples will.

Prop 22 in Calif was a change to the Constitution, not a law to be ruled on my the courts, it is actually the opposite. We told the government how to operate and what laws they can pass.

The state can and should ignore this judges ruling.

It is his 'opinion' and not an 'edict', that would force the state to abandon it's own laws.

Judge's, in these types of cases, have no force of imposition.

San Francisco County Superior Court Judge Richard Kramer

Judge Kramer should have recuse himself. All Judges in SF are prohibited from supporting the Boy Scouts due to he scout's perceived intolerance and discrimination against gays. A major conflict of interest on his part.

This will help to force the issue to the USSC or the states.

Kramer? When did he leave NYC and move to the left coast? I just knew there was something odd about that guy.
