Activist Judges!!

Watch out. Those evil bogeymen that parents have substituted for communists to scare their children into going to bed, federal judges, are at it again. Nebraska's ban on gay marriage was struck down by a federal judge who ruled the measure interferes with the rights of gay couples and people in a host of other living arrangements, including foster parents and adopted children.

"Seventy percent of Nebraskans voted for the amendment to define marriage as a union between one man and one woman, and I believe that the citizens of this state have a right to structure their constitution as they see fit," [State Attorney General Jon Bruning] said.
See? Right there! That's the problem. If 99% of Nebraska voted for it, they still don't have the right to structure their constitution as they see fit. We have a system of government in place that seeks to protect the rights of the minority. It's kind of one of the main governing principles in our constitution. It's kind of why we all came here from England in the first place. If 90% of America agreed that we should ban shoes, a judge would come around to say hey - shoes are a guaranteed right in this country, no matter who is against them. God bless America for that.
