ANTONOVICH SAYS ACTIVIST JUDGE OVERTURNING PROPOSITION 8 EVIDENCE OF JUDICIAL TYRANNY

 

LOS ANGELES COUNTY – Los Angeles County Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich issued the following statement following U.S. District Chief Judge Vaughn R. Walker’s ruling overturning California Proposition 8:

 

“To address the issues raised by the courts, Proposition 8 was placed on the ballot after Proposition 22 was deemed unconstitutional by the courts.  It is clear that the Judge’s political correctness agenda prevailed at the expense of the will of the people.  Ultimately, it will be up to the United States Supreme Court to uphold the constitutionality of Proposition 8.”      

 

Thomas Jefferson warned that radical judicial activism would undermine the will of the people.  He said, ‘When the people fear their government, there is tyranny.’  Today’s ruling was a direct assault to the over 4.5 million voters in 2000, and the over 7 million who turned out in 2008 to vote on this vital issue.”
