Judge Lifts Stay of Prop. 8 Ruling, but Gay Marriages Still on Hold

Libertarian Judge Vaughn Walker has found a new civil right buried in the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution. This new civil right is the creation of gays as a protected class status and now owed more protection under the law than other citizens.

The federal judge who ruled against California's constitutional amendment in favor of gay marriage has turned the case over to the Ninth US Circuit Court of Appeals to decide whether California gays can get married. The Circuit Court has less than a week to decide whether to stay the decision or not.

Judge Walker, besides creating a civil right out of thin air, like some political stage magician, has now, in effect, washed his hands of the problem of paying the political consequences of his decision against Proposition 8. If the Circuit Court stays his decision, then he can shrug his shoulders at the gay community and say, "It's not my fault."

If the Circuit Court doesn't respond or does't stay the decision, Walker will have gotten what he wanted out of his decision, to create a federal ruling that substantively changes the interpretation and intent of the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution, in favor of creating a protected class status for a small minority of people who self identify according to sexual preference. The subsequent California gay marriages will, of course, create a huge political problem down the road when the case is tried on appeal and then sent to the US Supreme Court.

What gay activists hope for is a de facto right to protected class status which will eventually overthrow the institution of marriage and allow greater legal recourse to go after anyone who disagrees with their ideology. Not satisfied with approval, gay activist want legal sanctions in place in order to sustain their ideology and force all Americans to sustain their identity politics.

Yet, if the US Supreme Court rules against Walker's decision, the social and political fallout will succeed in defaming the majority of Americans in the eyes of gay supporters.

Gay activists and Judge Walker push along, full steam ahead with no regard to the social, constitutional or legal consequences to their actions.

Today, Walker lifted a temporary stay he had placed on those nuptials, but simultaneously ruled that his order not take effect until 5 p.m. Wednesday.

That gives proponents of Prop. 8 time to ask a three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit court for another stay, preventing same-sex marriages while that court - and perhaps the U.S. Supreme Court - reviews Walker's invalidation of the ban.
