Unaccountable Judges
Posted By Jason on 7/30/2004 @ 11:03 pm
"The Founders never intended for a handful of unelected, unaccountable federal judges to decide social policy for the entire nation. Just as Texas is not required to recognize medical licenses, law licenses, or driving licenses from other states, it ought not be forced to recognize gay marriage licenses granted elsewhere. ... Federal judges have flouted the will of the American people for too long, acting as imperial legislators instead of jurists. The Marriage Protection Act represents a long-overdue exercise of the congressional power to limit and define federal court jurisdiction. The definition of marriage -- a union between a man and a woman -- can be found in any dictionary. It's sad that we need government to define an institution that has existed for centuries." —Rep. Ron Paul, the only libertarian in Congress
Not much I can add to that. Hat tip to The Federalist.
