The Ninth Circuit rules in favor of gay "marriage". Also, water is wet, the sky is blue.

I suppose I have to say something, seeing as how the Ninth Circuit came down from On High this morning to proclaim a Constitutional Right to gay "marriage."

As if anyone expected them to find otherwise?

C'mon, these Ninth Circuit guys are more liberal than the Number One Activist Court In The Nation — my state's very own New Jersey State Supreme Court.

So it's not exactly a surprise they'd discover some magical incantation which leads to striking down the certified determination of seven million California voters.

Two activist judges > an infinite number of pesky voters. Every time.

And yet my Liberal friends keep trying to tell me we live in a Democracy.

Professor Jacobson, who's probably forgotten more about Constitutional Law than those knuckleheads on the Ninth Circuit ever pretended to know, says the court did not take into account the circular nature of its argument.

Prop. 8 was directed at the very judicial decision which gave rise to the right which the Court now finds cannot be taken away.

Seen elsewhere on Twitter today: Given the chance the Ninth Circuit would find the Constitution unconstitutional.

Well yeah. Certainly the Declaration of Independence. They'd obviously say it violated precedent established by King George. Unless, of course, someone told them that Old George wasn't a fan of buggery.

Onward then to SCOTUS, where everyone agrees Anthony Kennedy will be the deciding vote. Ain't Democracy grand?
