At least two counties in California have begun reviewing a plan to uphold the state's laws regarding marriage as being between one man and one woman and disregard a state Supreme Court opinion that has yet to be implemented by the Legislature.
In the next step in the state's war over marriage – defined by voters as involving only one man and one woman and by the Supreme Court as two people of either gender – traditional marriage supporters will be attending the Kern County board of supervisors meeting tomorrow when the issue will be discussed.
In an alert from the Bakersfield Republican Assembly, officials suggested people "respectfully call the county supervisors and remind them that 80 percent of the voters in Kern County voted for Prop. 22 that defined marriage as between a man and a woman."
On the agenda at the meeting will be a proposed ordinance and exhaustive legal brief in its support that would have the county continue to uphold California laws and regulations – which have not been changed – providing for marriage only between one man and one woman.
That's despite the May 15 ruling from a sharply divided state Supreme Court that opined under the developing social agenda in the state, the state Constitution could not be interpreted as to deprive same-sex duos of the title of "married."
"Our republican government is wary of judicial tyranny," the memo about Kern County's meeting said. "Abraham Lincoln was severely critical of a United States Supreme Court decision which held that Congress had no power to restrict slavery in federal territories and that black persons had no rights which white persons were bound to respect."

The Courts have so badly abused their power that I am not surprised that other political authorities are starting to disregard their opinions. Expect more of it.
No, but Gay Arnold will use his executive power to do it. Despite his protestations in the past, he is a staunch pro-homosexual advocate.
If the people of Kern County choose to spend their tax dollars on law suits, so be it. I hope my board of supervisors prefers roads and deputy sheriffs to law suits they just won’t win.

County? State? You don’t claim any on your homepage and I’m supposed to take your word for what? I live in Kern County and am glad that my elected officials have decided to take a STAND against all of this PC, to hell with the voters BS. Once the tide starts to turn, it will be hell trying to stop it.
That’s what I’m counting on. That this will turn into a larger battle in reversing the liberal path this state has taken.
BTW, We have good roads, excellent deputies and a new Sheriff who has a conservative approach to LE.
Besides, if you “hope” your board of supervisors will do what you “wish” you may be a tad disappointed.
