I also deplore the result. But what if the federal judge honestly feels bound by his or her careful reading of the prior rulings of the US Supreme Court to reach a different conclusion? Because we don't like the result does that authorize one to ignore the highest authority of the Supreme Court? Labels and name calling are not helpful here. I commend the thoughtful article found in the Utah Bar Journal by Justice Thomas R. Lee which can be found at: Views from the Bench Vol. 26 No. 6 Pg. 12 Utah Bar Journal December, 2013.

I stand firmly with the essence of this article about blatant abuse by federal judges of their very specific purpose and powers. I still do not understand how our country slid into the mold where a single federal judge can make a decision totally against the majority of citizens and totally unrelated to any constitutional issue. How federal judges ever usurped the power to make decisions about choice of life style is something I still don't understand. Thank you to Lynn Wardle and others who are willing to explain in clear and convincing words exactly what is happening.
