Marylee Shrider: Marriage redefinition an act of judicial tyranny
Marylee Shrider comments on Bakersfield.com. She writes:
I don’t know what was more shocking about the recent state Supreme Court decision to redefine marriage — the reasoning behind the ruling or the justices’ blatant disregard for the will of the people.
A lot of Californians are still reeling from the court’s 4-3 decision to overturn Proposition 22, the measure that defined marriage as a union between one man and one woman and was supported in 2000 by 61 percent of state voters.That definition, concluded the four, is unconstitutional.
The court’s ruling begs a host of questions, not the least of which is why Californians should even bother to vote. With activist judges waiting in the wings to override votes and fabricate new rights, what’s the point? . . .
