Ted, A constitutional democracy doesn't have a lot of room for personal biases.

Except when those personal biases are yours, and you happen to find judges that share your personal biases.


Rarely, do I ever disagree with a judge's ruling and when I do, its usually overturned in appeal. Its not because I have their bias, but because I think constitutionally......you might want to do the same.

The bottom line is that most Californians voted for a proposition that prohibited gay marriage. I think most of them don't think "equal protection" applies to gay marriage, but the judge just told the majority to go pound sand. That's not a democracy, that's an oligarchy.

Most good southerner Christians voted to maintain slavery. They said the bible supported their position.......and they referenced specific verses. That didn't may slavery constitutional. Sometimes, the courts are ahead of the people.......it happens.
