In the aftermath of some 20 court
decisions against state marriage laws and constitutional amendments, a
constitutional law expert believes judicial boundaries have been violated. The most recent action came when a Florida
federal judge struck down that state’s marriage amendment, which had been
approved by 62.5% of voters.
A stay on the court’s decision has
been issued, but Liberty Counsel Founder
Mat Staver tells OneNewsNow, “It’s
ridiculous when federal courts overturn the natural order of marriage.” He points out that these types of arbitrary
decisions from courts greatly undermine public confidence in the judiciary. “The judiciary is on trial more than
marriage,” he says. “You can’t put the
laws of gravity on trial. Such laws are
what they are. Marriage is what it is. It is part of the natural creation, male and
female, moms and dads. They form the
first foundation of government and provide the best environment in which to
raise boys and girls to be men and women.”
Attorney Staver argues that with the
judiciary wrongly overturning the natural order of marriage, the public does no
longer trust the courts. “When judges
begin to cross the line – and I think they certainly do when they have the
audacity to say that you cannot affirm the natural, created order of marriage
as between a man and a woman – that ultimately undermines confidence of the
people in the judiciary,” he explains. “When
that happens, judges and courts all across the country will lose their power. And, frankly, the time for that to happen has
been looming for a long time.” Staver
concludes that, in effect, renegade judges are usurping the authority of the
people and of the other two branches of the government.
It’s becoming a repeating
nightmare. The bureaucrats are
forgetting or ignoring the fact that our form of government is of the people, by the people, and for the
people. It is we the people of the United States who ordain this constitutional
form of government to insure “domestic tranquility” … among other things. Given this understanding and the demonstration
of our current branches of government, is there any wonder ‘why’ there is
rebellion in the air? Every one of these
officeholders took an oath to uphold the Constitution. If they no longer realize that they serve the
people, then it’s past time for them
to go!
