Califonia Decision Denying a Stay of Marriage Ruling Called a "Crime against Democracy"
- Jun 4, 2008
Vision America President Dr. Rick Scarborough called today’s decision of the California Supreme Court – denying a motion for a stay of its infamous May 15 gay marriage decision – “a affront to democracy.” Said Scarborough, “I don’t know why they don’t just hang a sign outside the California Supreme Court building that says: “Until further notice, representative government hereby suspended by court order.”
Scarborough added: “Two weeks ago, the California high court created a ‘right’ to homosexual marriage out of thin air. In so doing, the majority declared unconstitutional a 2000 referendum for a statue providing that marriage in California consists only of the union of a man and a woman.”
Scarborough continued: “Alliance Defense Fund filed a motion for a stay, which should have been granted as a matter of course – especially in light of the fact that the California Secretary of State just certified that a marriage-protection amendment will appear on the November ballot. Family activists collected 1.1 million signatures for the amendment.”
“Not only is the court saying that homosexuals must have a right they’ve never had before in California, but that enforcement of its edict can’t wait 5 months for the people to be heard. Never in the annals of judicial tyranny has an activist court made such a brazen move.”
“I would not be surprised if pro-family forces launched a drive to recall the four justices who committed this crime against democracy.”
Vision America has been a leader in the battle to defend marriage nationwide. Dr. Scarborough is the author of the forthcoming book, “Enough Is Enough: A Practical Guide to Political Action Plus Why Christians Must Engage.”
