Laigle’s Forum

Every time I write or publish an article on same-sex marriage or the “gay” agenda, I feel a sense of urgency, knowing that soon the right to free debate on this subject (as well as others, like Islam) may be lost forever in the United States of America, just as it has been lost in parts of Europe and all of Canada.

In the early 80s, University of Michigan legal “expert” and radical feminist Catharine MacKinnon called for censorship of “hate speech.” Gay activism is just an extension of radical feminism, which, is now in disrepute, and like that movement, gay activism pretends to want to “protect” a group of helpless victims but its real agenda is to destroy our traditions and silence dissenters. Thus the new censors (the real haters) needed to find a new “victim” group to “protect.” We will come very close to reaching the Canadian level of censorship in the US, but Lord willing, an intelligent, informed public, starting with Laigle’s Forum readers, will avert that catastrophe.

Below is an eye-opening letter forwarded to Laigle’s Forum friend Laurie Higgins and written by her friend Gregg Jackson to the L.A. Times. It exposes a monumental fraud that has been perpetrated in MA and now in CA, namely, the dissemination of the myth that same-sex marriage is legal in those states. Read it while there is time.

Speaking of censorship, those who saw Ben Stein’s Expelled have seen how that works on campus. That was the tip of the iceberg. Click here to see how it works in other areas of life in your once-free country.

Gregg’s letter:

Your above-the-fold headline in today’s LA Times, “Massachusetts lives happily with same-sex marriage law,” by Elizabeth Mehren is totally inaccurate and misleading, and it is vital that you clarify this error for your readers.The truth is that “same sex marriage” is not legal in Massachusetts which is why only about a month ago legislation was introduced to amend the current Massachusetts marriage statute (chapter 207) to legalize “same sex marriage” (H1710 and S918), which were both defeated. This alone disproves your inaccurate headline!Under the Massachusetts Constitution, the oldest functioning constitution in the world, authored by John Adams, which served as the model for our Federal Constitution:“[T]he people of this commonwealth are not controllable by any other laws than those to which their constitutional representative body have given their consent.” (PART THE FIRST, Article X.) And “the people” via their elected representatives never “consented” to “same sex marriage.” The current marriage statute was never amended or suspended and to this day doesn’t include a provision for “same sex marriages.”Many, including former Governor Romney, have claimed that the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, “legalized same sex marriage” in issuing their Goodridge opinion in 2003, and that he was “ordered to enforce the law.” Both assertions are totally false.

Even the Goodridge Court admitted that their opinion in no way “legalized” same sex “marriage”:

“Here, no one argues that striking down the marriage laws is an appropriate form of relief.”  

In fact, they admitted that under the statute, Chapter 207 of the Massachusetts General Laws, homosexual marriage is illegal:

“We conclude, as did the judge, that M.G.L. c. 207 may not be construed to permit same-sex couples to marry.” 

The truth is that the Goodridge declaratory opinion should have been declared null and void since the court lacked the subject matter jurisdiction under Article V to even hear the case:

“All causes of marriage.shall be heard and determined by the governor and council, until the legislature shall, by law, make other provision.” (PART THE SECOND, Ch. III, Article V.)

Although many “conservative” lawyers and pundits have claimed that the ”activist MSJC Court” legalized “same sex marriage,” it was the acting governor Mitt Romney, a “conservative” Republican who illegally ordered the Department of Public Health to change the marriage certificates from “husband” and “wife” to “partner A” and “partner B” and ordered Justices of the Peace and Town Clerks to solemnize and perform same sex marriage ceremonies or resign (which one did). Romney did this without an accompanying legal statute and in doing so violated his sworn oath to uphold and enforce the Constitution and the laws and statutes of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

That being said, while it was Romney, not the court, who was solely responsible for installing “same sex marriage,” the certificates that Romney issued (over 150 of them he personally issued) are not worth the paper they are written on because they lack an accompanying enabling statute that recognizes “same sex marriage” and are therefore, according to the Massachusetts Constitution, null and void.

The truth is that according to the highest law of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the Massachusetts Constitution, “same sex marriage” is not “legal.”

Nor is “same sex marriage” “legal” in California. The citizens in California approved a voter initiative to define marriage as between one man and one woman in 2000. The judiciary lacks the requisite constitutional authority to overturn any statute passed by the voters. Only the voters themselves can reverse a statute they themselves voted in. While the court is free to interpret the constitution of California and issue opinions, they are not authorized to “strike down” any specific statutes. It is vital that you acknowledge that “same sex marriage” is not legal in California either or prove that it is. Neither the people nor their elected representatives voted to amend or suspend the current marriage statute that doesn’t allow for “same sex marriage.” Until they do, it remains illegal.

You have an solemn obligation to acknowledge these facts and run a retraction for your readers. Anything less is journalistic and legal malpractice.

Looking forward to seeing if you choose to run this letter.

Sincerely,

Gregg Jackson

The Laigle’s Forum mailbag is bursting today with news of how the freedom haters are trying to slam through legislation to inhibit our Constitution.

Check this out:
William Campenni — Human Events   
Will congress outlaw local laws?  
One has to admire the Sisyphean tenacity of the Congress as it starts to roll another boulder up the mountain of public opposition to the federal encouragement of illegal immigration. The latest attempt, HR 5515, masquerading under the euphemistic label “New Employee Verification Act” (NEVA) is another unworthy successor…
 
As always when dealing with the political class growing ever more distant from the populace it rules, the NEVA devil is in the details.  For all of its noble goals, hidden in the voluminous wording of this legislation is the true agenda of its sponsors, to wit, the section on preemption, Section 101(b)(2)(A), which reduced to simple language* would preempt and ban any and all state or local law for immigration-related issues enacted to impose employer fines or sanctions, or would forbid any laws requiring employers to verify work status or identity for work authorization.  It would also prevent any unit of government from verifying status of renters, determining eligibility for receipt of benefits, enrollment in school, obtaining a business or other license, or conducting a background check.
