Just when we thought that liberalism had moved us away from Bible-based constitutionalism and law making, suddenly we have an imitation of Biblical creation. For those who have read that still-influential book, they will note that God creates the universe but permits man to name what is in it, beginning with the living things. Likewise, the New Jersey Supreme Court has created a right to a same-sex union and ordered its subordinate, the state legislature, to give it the name of its choice.As others have noted, at least their timing was impeccable. Campaigning for Mike Bouchard in MI last night, the Prez said this:
I'm looking forward to having this good senator vote to confirm the judges I nominate to the federal bench. (Applause.) Make no mistake about it, one of the key issues in this campaign is the type of judiciary we end up having in America. My job is to appoint judges who will strictly interpret the Constitution and not use the bench from which to legislate. (Applause.) And it would be -- if you believe in that philosophy, it's important that you have at least one United States senator from Michigan who will support a conservative judiciary, and that's Senator Mike Bouchard. (Applause.)
I mentioned his love for family. He understands what I know, that marriage is a fundamental institution of our civilization. Yesterday in New Jersey, we had another activist court issue a ruling that raises doubts about the institution of marriage. I believe that marriage is a union between a man and a woman.(Applause.) Mike and I believe that marriage is a sacred institution, that it is critical to the health of our society and the well-being of families, and marriage must be defended. (Applause.)
