One again, liberal judges upsurping the will of the people by forcing their opinion onto the country. Polls routinely show that only 25-30% of America are in favor of gay marriage. That's not how a democracy works!
The highlighted quote is the source of the problem. Judges aren't evaluating the law with respect to the constitution, but inserting their own opinion. The idea of a "rational purpose" is for the elected legislature to decide....not one man!
SAN FRANCISCO - A judge ruled Monday that California can no longer justify limiting marriage to a man and a woman, a legal milestone that if upheld on appeal would pave the way for the nation's most populous state to follow Massachusetts in allowing same-sex couples to wed.
In an opinion that had been awaited because of San Francisco's historical role as a
gay rights battleground, San Francisco County Superior Court Judge Richard Kramer said that withholding marriage licenses from gays and lesbians is unconstitutional.
"It appears that no rational purpose exists for limiting marriage in this state to opposite-sex partners," Kramer wrote. AP via Yahoo
