CWA Says California Judge Tossed Rationality Out the Window on ‘Gay Marriage’ Ruling     3/14/2005

Washington, D.C. – Concerned Women for America (CWA) called San Francisco County Superior Court Judge Richard Kramer’s ruling “nonsensical” when he concluded today that the state’s recognition of the age-old definition of marriage is unconstitutional. Californians voted in favor of the state’s Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) in 2000, a statute that limits marriage to the union of a man and a woman.

“Yet another irrational judge, like his counterparts in Massachusetts, can’t find a rational reason for defining marriage as the union of a man and a woman,” said Robert Knight, director of CWA’s Culture & Family Institute.

“That’s because these judges are no longer acting rationally, and are imposing their own radical agenda, ignoring the law and the will of the people.”

“This trial court ruling will be appealed and reversed unless the appellate courts are content to allow a rogue judge to make a mockery of the state constitution and turn rational basis into a meaningless term,” said Jan LaRue, CWA’s chief counsel. “Any judge who can’t find one rational reason for upholding marriage needs to turn in his robe.”

“Californians should remove Kramer from office because of this scandalous ruling. We also need to enact a constitutional amendment, at the state and federal levels, to protect marriage once and for all,” said Knight.
