It Takes the Mind of a Liberal

The Massachusetts Supreme Court ruled it constitutional for citizens to vote on an amendment which would overturn the ruling allowing gay marriage. What I have trouble with is the basis of the lawsuit opposing the right to vote on the amendment. Read this paragraph from the AP Article carefully with emphasis mine:

The ruling came on a lawsuit brought by gay-rights supporters who argued that Attorney General Tom Reilly was wrong to certify the question because the state's constitution bars any citizen-initiated amendment that seeks to reverse a judicial ruling.

I'm not making a statement on the issue at hand and I'm not making a legal judgment, but is there something wrong with this rationale? If a judge makes a ruling, which may overturn a legislative act, then no one should have the right to vote on overturning the judges later on--ever?! Why don't we just get rid of governors and legislators and even the voters?

It takes the mind of a liberal to come up with such a twisted scheme for governing. This time the justices ruled on the law rather than their preferences. But, if it were not for activist judges in most cases, the left wouldn't have much say so in government.

Your added emphasis catches exactly the point that has been frustrating and thwarting the left for too long: those rascally voters! Everything would be well in hand if it wasn't for them.

Actually, the imposition of law by judicial fiat is a subject that has concerned me now for some time. When I was more naive, I didn't really understand the legal sanctity of precedent, nor did I understand how decisions made about certain cases can not only alter certain laws or regulations, but overturn them, subjecting the citizenry to many unpredictable long-term ramifications.

As my understanding has increased, and I've started to realize how many appointed, activist (read left-wing) judges there are, I've been able to see how their rulings have already started to erode not only the letter, but also the intent of many state and national laws as well.

To think that anyone would support the idea that the people should not be allowed to vote to change or alter a law if they feel it is necessary is so wrong words can't begin to describe it. And they keep accusing the right of being totalitarian...
