"SCOURGE OF A GOVERNMENT WORKER: You work 200 hours for a $100 bonus check and happily say, 'O wow, thanks.'"




THE 9th CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS HAS SPOKEN ON THEIR VIEW OF THE DEFENSE OF MARRIAGE ACT:


Two administrative judges on the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in California have ruled that the U.S. government MUST pay health benefits to the same-sex partners of two federal lawyers -- one of whom is on the 9th Circuit's staff.

Judge Stephen Reinhardt stated that the government's refusal to grant those benefits amounts to unlawful discrimination on the basis of sex and sexual orientation. He said; "Neither a 'distaste for or disapproval of same-sex marriage' can justify denial of government benefits." Chief Judge Alex Kozinski issued the ruling in another case.

According to the Pacific Justice Instituet's Brad Dacus, There is another interesting part to the rulings. Dacus says, "The ninth circuit judges in that administrative matter ruled that the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) was unconstitutional and that it had no rational basis." That will now be Barack Obama's rational for doing away with the Act as he promised to do. "This action by these two 9th Circuit justices will only give greater momentum to efforts on Capitol Hill to reverse DOMA and to start requiring federal taxpayer dollars to subsidize homosexual relationships," Dacus stated.

According to Dacus, that is NOT the role of federal judges because it usurps the authority of another branch of government. "Unfortunately the 9th Circuit has refused to respect the legislative branch and its authority to decide how benefits are to be given and appropriated," Dacus said.

JUST ONE MORE NAIL IN THE COFFIN OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!
