Ignorant Judge

I reckon that ya'll heard that a federal judge just struck down Virginia's ban on same-sex marriage? Well this judge must have got her education in a government school, for she sure does not know the Constitution that she is suppose to be using to judge the constitutionality of laws passed by legislators.

Judge Allen wrote on the first page of her opinion, "Our Constitution declares that 'all men' are created equal. Surely this means all of us," The Constitution says no such thing, that phrase is found in the Decoration of Independence, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

It also says, "...Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."
