Gay Marriage Coming to New York State? Strap In. New York City's Activist Judges Are At It Again. And the democrats scratch their heads and wonder why republicans and conservatists don't trust the judiciary, particularly in New York City, where activist judges like Doris Ling-Cohan, who seems to enjoy issuing controversial decisions every few months, and is closely aligned with Dennis Rivera, unions and immigrants, have no qualms about stretching the law to reach their desired result. Here's the New York State Constitution. You tell me where there's a right to same-sex marriage in it. In fact, Article I, the NY State Constitution's Bill of Rights, in section 11 states: [Equal protection of laws; discrimination in civil rights prohibited]Notice the Constitution says nothing about sexual orientation? Funny that, eh? And accepted rules of construction would not allow a reading in of sexual orientation. We'll be very interested to fisk Judge Ling-Cohan's opinion. From today's NY1. com: State Supreme Court Judge Clears Way For Same-Sex MarriagesUPDATE: As soon as we get a copy of the decision we'll analyze it and report back UPDATE II: The New York Times reports today, here, that the city will appeal the decision.
