With the headline: “HRC Blames Prop 8 Trial Ruling, NOM for Possible Democratic Loss of Congress” the pro-homosexual marriage blog LGBT POV attacks a recent fundraising mailer sent out by the pro-gay behemoth Human Rights Campaign (HRC).  The mailer says that Judge Vaughn Walker's decision overturning Prop8 may help the National Organization for Marriage bring down pro-same sex pols at the ballot box this November!

Gee, thanks Joe Solmonese!!

And also how courts are bending over backwards to deny natural fathers rights if it interferes with lesbians moms’ wishes.

From ABC News:

Karen B., a Los Angeles writer in her 40s, found a sperm donor on Craigslist when [she] decided to have a baby that she would later raise with her lesbian partner.

"I tried every male friend, gay, straight, married and single, but it was really difficult to find somebody," said Karen. "I was running out of options and my biological clock was ticking."

After connecting on the Internet, she and the donor, Daniel C., signed a layman's agreement that the child would live with Karen and she would make all parenting decisions. He would have some visitation rights.

"I always wanted the baby to know the father," said Karen, who had originally intended to use a family friend's sperm until she discovered he was HIV positive.

But as the pregnancy progressed, Daniel interjected himself into the couple's life, telling the doctor he was Karen's husband, even though he was gay.

After the birth, Daniel insisted Karen get a passport for the boy, so he could visit his native Brazil. When she refused, Daniel sued her for joint legal and physical custody... The courts eventually ruled in favor of Karen, allowing the sperm donor to visit twice a month, but Daniel's involvement in her son's life has continued to be problematic...

A new poll shows one-time dark horse Christine O'Donnell--strongly pro-life and pro-marriage--ahead of establishment moderate GOP Rep. Mike Castle.

Will the GOP leadership get the message?

Frank Cannon, a political consultant, explains in Politico just how out of touch Republican elites are on marriage. John McCain, while running for president, sought to minimize the social issues--and lost under the guidance of pro-gay marriage Republican consultant Steve Schmidt.  Now, in a race for his life in Arizona, he ran a totally different campaign--and won.  Will the elites learn?

Not every former RNC member is like Ken Mehlman. Political strategist Drew McKissick takes on the outrage that is Judge Walker's tyranny:

Judges, Marriage and Self-Government

In referring to our form of government, Alexander Hamilton once said, “Here sir, the people govern”.  But given the actions of some of the more arrogant members of our judiciary, there seems to be room for doubt.

In 2000, the people of California approved a statewide referendum defining marriage in that state as the union of one man and one woman, but in 2008 their state supreme court threw out that law (by a four to three vote of the court). So in November, 2008 voters approved a state constitutional amendment to overturn their supreme court’s decision and again take control of the definition of marriage in their state, just as voters in over thirty states have done.

It has been a mass expression of sovereign will on a single subject unlike few (if any) others in our nation’s history – and one at which activists judges continue to thumb their noses.

A few weeks ago, federal district Judge Vaughan Walker gave us the latest example of contempt for popular sovereignty by overturning California’s state constitutional amendment.  It’s only the latest round of what has been an ongoing battle with activist judges.

The problem is that we have too few real judges in our country, and far too many would-be judicial oligarchs who see themselves as the “supreme” branch of our government, rather than just one of three.  It’s the product of a philosophy that sees our constitutional structure as an eighteenth century anachronism, rather than the law of the land.

Jefferson once noted, the Constitution “is a mere thing of wax in the hands of the judiciary which they may twist and shape into any form they please.”  And so they have.
