Jihading into the judiciary

Latest from the state of Washington on same-sex marriage.

Two homosexual advocacy groups -- Lambda Legal and the Northwest Women's Law Center -- believe they have a good chance of forcing the same type of social change in Washington as activists did in Massachusetts.
The "activists" are not interested in persuasion, in making their case to the vast majority of their fellow citizens about a change to a PUBLIC INSTITUTION. The lawsuit is an eff you to anyone who disagrees.
"Many of the justices clearly understand that same-sex couples are being discriminated against because they cannot marry, and that this discrimination deserves their attention," said Lambda Legal's Jennifer Pizer, one of the attorneys involved in the case.
Well, then if not qualifying under the requirements to avail themselves of PUBLIC INSTITUTION of marriage is "discrimination" then I guess the state also discriminates against wannabe polygamists, underage participants, and family-related participants.
"When judges appreciate the human dimensions of our cases, we often have good results," Pizer said on Tuesday.
That is not the role of the judiciary.

Good lord, why even have legislatures as respresentatives of The People who meet to decide the scope and qualifications of PUBLIC life? Obviously judges are much more enlightened than The People. Why not take the next step and let them officially operate just like the mullahs of Iran, where THEY and they alone with their obviously superior sensibilities will tell the rest of us what is good for us?

This is infuriating. And I say this as someone who supports the idea of same-sex marriage. You'd think the assatollahs of Same-Sex activism just might consider the years of intercine social warfare in this country post-Roe v Wade before jihading into the judiciary.
