The People's Republic of Massachusetts' highest court has ruled that the state may not deny homosexual "marriage":
The Supreme Judicial Court ruled that same-sex couples are legally entitled to wed under the state Constitution, but stopped short of immediately allowing marriage licenses to be issued to the couples who challenged the law.
Massachusetts may not "deny the protections, benefits and obligations conferred by civil marriage to two individuals of the same sex who wish to marry," the court ruled, according to a posting on its Web site.
The court then orders the legislature to address the issue. Since when can courts order an elected legislature around?
The ruling is ridiculous, of course. Unless America decides to stand up and rein in this sort of rampant judicial tyranny it's going to get much worse with perhaps no chance of getting better.
