Looks like the judicial system in New York State is doing what it is supposed to do because…<\/p>\n
\nNew York’s highest court ruled today that homosexual “marriage” is not allowed under state law, rejecting arguments by same-sex couples who said the law violates their constitutional rights.
\nThe Court of Appeals, in a 4-2 decision, said New York’s marriage law is constitutional and clearly limits marriage to union between a man and a woman.
\nAny change in the law would have to come from the state Legislature, Judge Robert Smith said.<\/strong>
\n“We do not predict what people will think generations from now, but we believe the present generation should have a chance to decide the issue through its elected representatives,” Judge Smith wrote.\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nThis judge gets it. He knows the courts boundaries.
\nThese couples should not be allowed to circumvent the legislative process because there is” <\/p>\n… little hope of getting a same-sex “marriage” bill signed into law in Albany, advocates from the American Civil Liberties Union, Lambda Legal and other advocacy groups marshaled forces for a court fight.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The judge does not get it.<\/p>\n
In a dissent, Chief Judge Judith Kaye said the court failed to uphold its responsibility to correct inequalities when it decided to simply leave the issue to lawmakers.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Excuse me, but I thought it was<\/strong> the duty of the lawmakers, our elected representatives, to legislate not the judiciary. These people need to play by the
\nsame rules that the rest of us citizens abide by, that’s just the way it is.
\nRead the rest here<\/a>.
