Activist Dallas Judge Ignores Constitution; Allows Gay Couple To Divorce

A gay couple is attempting to subvert the will of 76 % of Texans and the Texas Constitution to force and impose thier morality on Texas.  Knowing that the Texas Constitution only allows marriage between one man and one woman, this gay couple has now filed for divorce in Texas as way to subvert the Texas Constitution and try to push the issue of gay marriage into the courtroom.

STATEMENT FROM FREE MARKET FOUNDATION PRESIDENT, KELLY SHACKELFORD: “This decision is a shameful display of judicial activism.  The people of texas voted by 75% that marriage was a man and a woman and other attempts to pervert the definition of marriage would not be accepted.  The will of the people of texas should not be disregarded.  We feel confident this will be overturned on appeal.”

State District Judge Tena Callahan, went even further and ruled that the Texas Constitution is unconstitutional.

    Let us note that in 2006, the Democrats swept the Dallas county courthouse races. Democrat Judges are supported by liberal special-interest groups and those groups demand gay marriage as their issue.
    A vote for a Democrat Judge is a vote for gay marriage.

    This Judge’s bad ruling will almost certainly be overturned as contrary to the Texas constitution (no Federal court has ever asserted her unsupported claim that traidtional marriage violates the 14th amendment), but this judge is engaging in judicial harrassment in making it in the first place. This is ‘pushing the envelope’ to see what you can do without getting slapped down.

    PS. Thanks to Atty General Greg Abbott for saying he WILL slap this bad ruling down.

    […] an act of Judicial Activism gone bonkers, Democrat Dallas Judge Tena Callahan issued a ruling that allows gay couple to divorce, despite there being no Texas law to support such a ruling and a Texas Constitutional provision […]

    Marriage is a human right.
