Judge Vaughn Walker is about as biased as you can be

By: American Decency Staff

Can an honest nation call itself free when the opinion of one man can trump those of 7,000,000 of his peers? Last week Judge Vaughn Walker announced that the wishes of the citizens of his state were to be ignored in the state’s treatment of homosexual marriage. This judge’s rejection of Proposition 8, which sought to amend the state’s constitution to define marriage as between one man and one woman, is perverted on every level. It is obviously an abomination before God’s eyes; it bastardizes the constitution; and it prostitutes society’s definition of families.Saying that homosexuality is an abomination in God’s eyes always raises the hackles of some people. But I don’t say it lightly or with my own words. You can take God’s Word for it. You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination. (Leviticus 18:22) Pretty clear. I know there are some who believe that the laws given in the Old Testament were cultural and tied to the times or the Old Covenant and they don’t need to be followed, but this time God doesn’t just say not to do it. He says it’s an abomination. Now, I believe that one of the foundational beliefs of Christianity is that God is unchanging. By my logic then, if He said its abomination back in Leviticus, He probably hasn’t turned around and said He’s changed his mind since creation and its cool now. Also, this verse is followed by a command against bestiality. I think that very few would argue with this commandment, why should we throw out the preceding verse? Moving on to the judicial flagrancy towards the Constitution. Judge Walker appealed to the Activist Judges’ favorite section of the Constitution: the 14^th Amendment, Section 1. The article reads: No state shall create or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. The answer to the Judge’s argument is simple. No one is telling these people that they can’t get married. Only that they cannot marry someone of the same sex.  We would also say they also cannot marry a horse, or a tree, or a rail road track. There are no rights being denied these people. They have the same right to a heterosexual, monogamous relationship that everyone else does. Any rights being encroached upon are those of “We the People!â€Â Think about it. How can we stand on the words of Abraham Lincoln and claim that we are a “government of the people, by the people, for the peopleâ€Â if the opinion of one man, unanswerable to his constituents, can disregard the will of the citizens to whom he owes his power and position. When the freedom of the citizens to amend the Constitution of the State of their residence can be denied by the words of one unelected official, we have ceased to be a representative republic. As unfortunate as this case is for Christians and Americans who still believe in family values, it should concern every American that wants to maintain the ability to affect the outcome of public policy. In other words, any American who opposes the concept of an oligarchy. This case may someday be a bullet point in the outline of the fall of America’s Constitutional government. The third institution that Judge Walker violated so grievously is that of the family. Literally, since the beginning of time, a family has consisted of a father, a mother, and their offspring. Vaughn Walker not only throws the voices of Californians in the garbage, he trashes the traditions and beliefs of every preceding generation. Here is a direct quote from Walker’s ruling. “Children do not need to be raised by a male parent and a female parent to be well-adjusted, and having both a male and a female parent does not increase the likelihood that a child will be well-adjusted… The sexual orientation of an individual does not determine whether that individual can be a good parent. Children raised by gay or lesbian parents are as likely as children raised by heterosexual parents to be healthy, successful and well-adjusted.â€Â What’s concerning about this ruling is that, if upheld by the courts throughout the subsequent appeals, this definition of family will dictate rulings for the whole nation for as long as she survives. As if all that is not concerning enough, here’s the kicker. It would be infuriating enough if this were just a liberal activist judge, but Vaughn Walker is about as biased as you can be in this case. He is homosexual himself! So the decision regarding homosexual marriage is not being made by an unbiased judge, but by a practicing homosexual! Wake up, America! It’s time to go to work!
