Morons
Effort to remove pro-gay marriage judges
It amazes me how stupid and short sighted some people are. How many idiots does it take to elect a moron representative? Emile Goguen, a Representative from Massachusetts, is planning to file legislation to oust the justices who ruled in favor of making the state recognize marriage for gay couples. I guess if you don't like how they interpret the law, you now replace them.
A group that opposes gay marriage has enlisted the help of a state legislator in a long-shot attempt to remove the four justices of the state's high court who ruled that banning gay marriage is unconstitutional.
Democratic state Rep. Emile J. Goguen told The Boston Globe that he planned to file legislation to oust the justices on Tuesday, even though he is the measure's only sponsor.
He sees the bill as a way to pressure members of the Supreme Judicial Court to reconsider their 4-3 decision.
I know that our democracy isn't perfect. It's mainly because people like Rep. Goguen are trying to use their authority to change the rulings from the court. It makes me sick the way they abuse their power and nothing was a better example of this than watching the legislature of Massachusetts try to wrangle out of the decision of the court. Even now, Mass. Governor Mitt Romney is trying to use a law written in 1913 against gay marriage, knowing full well that the law was addressing a completely different issue.
Then we have our own President ("Moron High Leader") who calls the justices "activist judges" and calls for an amendment to the Constitution to stop all judges from ruling that discrimination against gays is wrong. Right now, it's not pleasant to hear and have to endure what these bigots are trying to do, but I will tell you this; history will not look favorably on these individuals. History will reflect on these people as being short sighted, putting their own wishes ahead of their elected office, and failing to represent all the people. That's the main reason that I take the time and energy to talk about these people. I want the record to be there and as long as I live, I want this information to expose them for what they are, even if I have to do it one bigot at a time.

I know what you mean about how history will judge these people. I hold that as a small comfort while living in these times. And I put them on my blog for the same reason. I want no one to forget these people on the wrong side of progress. I've even thought of putting together a page dedicated just to them just for posterity.
Yes... but this is what I'm afraid of in terms of out of staters. I know that there are efforts to abolish the 1913 law and all of this is still up in the air. It's still a political struggle.
On the other hand, Governor Romney's special legal counsel has informed the state's Justices of the Peace that they have only two choices when same sex marriage becomes legal on May 17--marry any same sex couple who comes before them or submit their resignations. His statement says specifically that, despite his own personal reservations, Romney will uphold the new law on this point. See designerblog for the whole story.
