This, imho, is abridging the will of the electorate.<BR/><BR/>If the opinion of the majority of the court is that the minority will should prevail, then I suppose every proposition or candidate receiving the least amount of votes should be declared victorious in any election, somewhat similar to a golf game. If this is the logic the court employed, the minority opinion of the court should have prevailed.<BR/><BR/>The clerks refusing to marry gays are employing a strategy with historical precedent - that of Andrew Jackson. When he learned that the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against his invasion of Florida, he remarked, "Let the Court try to enforce their ruling."<BR/><BR/>Michael Finnegan<BR/>CD-5Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826939.post-40781995934408598942008-05-29T09:41:00.000-07:002008-05-29T09:41:00.000-07:00Tom LeBongTom LeBongAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826939.post-39634384726086977442008-05-29T06:49:00.000-07:002008-05-29T06:49:00.000-07:00"government employees are duty bound to follow the..."government employees are duty bound to follow the law"<BR/><BR/>Tell that to:<BR/><BR/>Tony Villar<BR/>Willian BrattonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826939.post-14656679314293059282008-05-28T23:31:00.000-07:002008-05-28T23:31:00.000-07:00Wait a sec....didn't Villar say he was going to pe...Wait a sec....didn't Villar say he was going to perform as many gay marriages as possible????
