"In a stunning display of judicial arrogance, U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker overturned California’s Prop 8—California’s Amendment defining marriage as between one man and one woman. This is the first case in U.S. history where “thoughts, motivations, and personal beliefs” of seven million voters were put on trial.
Daniel Blomerg, attorney with the Alliance Defense Fund, characterized it this way: 'It’s not just marriage that was put on trial, but the fundamental freedom of having your vote count and having the liberty to express and live by your beliefs. It’s pretty shocking.'...It is important to realize that this decision makes this case no longer just a “California issue.” This has ramifications that will impact every state. Appeals will go to the 9th Circuit and then potentially on to the U.S. Supreme Court where the entire nation’s definition of marriage hangs in the balance."

It is very sad when in The United States of America, the voice of the majority is overturned by one judge. It will be even sadder as this trend spreads and the opinion of the majority is silenced by the very loud minority.
