It Was Four Renegade Judges!

According to the New York Times, the issue of gay marriage has resurfaced because Republicans have schemed it so:

G.O.P. Moves Fast to Reignite Issue of Gay Marriage
By Sheryl Gay Stolberg, The New York Times


Washington, Oct. 26 — The divisive debate over gay marriage, which played a prominent role in 2004 campaigns but this year largely faded from view, erupted anew on Thursday as President Bush and Republicans across the country tried to use a court ruling in New Jersey to rally dispirited conservatives to the polls.

Wednesday’s ruling, in which the New Jersey Supreme Court decided that gay couples are entitled to the same legal rights and financial benefits as heterosexual couples, had immediate ripple effects, especially in Senate races in some of the eight states where voters are considering constitutional amendments to ban gay marriage.

In Manhattan, where amorality reigns supreme, it's probably true that this issue wasn't on the radar screen. In the real world, however, the decay of our moral values has been uppermost on our list of concerns for many years. As is our concern that four renegade liberal judges can take it upon themselves to, willy-nilly, rewrite a constitution.

This is why we are going to say YES to Amendment 1 on the Virginia ballot next month, making it clear to liberals who think they can tamper with our most cherished documents that they'll never do it here.

Not here. Not now. Not ever.

A handful - four! - of damned Democrats will not override our God-given right to control our own destiny.
