The Judicial Branch is My Favourite
I'm overjoyed that Judge Ronald Quidachay refused to block the marriages taking place downtown.
San Francisco Superior Court Judge Ronald Quidachay denied the request on the grounds that the conservative family values group, the Campaign for California Families, had not presented evidence showing that irreparable harm would be caused by allowing the weddings to continue.
And really, what is the harm? Even if the marriages are not allowed to stand, the worst thing that happens is that... well, a bunch of marriages are annulled and families torn apart, but the impact on the lives of the anti-family contingent (erm, that would be the religious groups opposing legal marriage, which sounds really odd to me) is and would be nill.
Which makes me wonder why they oppose the marriages in the first place, except that I know the answer to that: they're blinded by hate. How else could they possibly avoid seeing the irony of the message they are giving with this:
about a dozen protesters carrying signs that read "Trust Jesus" and "Prepare to meet that God" milled about outside the elegant copper-domed civic building.
I would not want to meet God with so much hatred in my heart. I certainly do not think I could look Jesus in the eye and say I had lived by his teachings if I'd done what those people are doing.
In other news, Sandoval County, New Mexico had its own little burts of civil disobedience today, before being slammed by the attorny general.
