Judicial Activism Strikes Again

Judicial activism reared its ugly head again today - this time in Connecticut, as the Connecticut Supreme Court struck down the state's marriage laws as "discriminatory." Here's what the YES on Prop 102/YESforMarriage.com campaign officially has to say about it:

CONNECTICUT RULING SHOWS WHY PASSAGE OF PROP 102 CRITICAL IN ARIZONA

The Connecticut Supreme Court today overturned that state’s law defining marriage only as the union of one man and one woman. Connecticut now joins Massachusetts and California on the list of states that have had judges by a one-vote margin redefine marriage for the entire state.

Prop 102 spokesman, Kelly Molique, said the CT decision shows the importance of passing the marriage amendment in Arizona this November. “The Connecticut ruling further illustrates why Arizona needs Proposition 102’s 20 simple and clear words added to the Arizona Constitution,” Molique said. “As the Connecticut ruling shows, it’s easy for activist judges and politicians to overturn existing marriage laws. The only way to prevent that from happening is to amend the constitution by passing Prop 102.”

Prop 102 reads:

“Only a union of one man and one woman shall be valid or recognized as a marriage in this state.”

“By voting yes on Prop 102, Arizonans can decide the future of marriage rather than leave the definition vulnerable to redefinition by judges or politicians,” said Molique.
