Instead, Ling-Cohan essentially asserted that the constitutional right to same-sex "marriage," though mentioned nowhere in that document, is nonetheless "beyond question," and proceeded to establish "law" on that basis alone.

The overwhelming majority of New Yorkers believe, like people across America, that marriage can only be defined as being between one man and one woman. But despite this, a liberal judge has simply taken it upon herself to declare otherwise, and to institute her beliefs in place of former laws that had been firmly established on time-honored truths.

It is often asserted that morality cannot be legislated. But clearly a society's government can either encourage or undermine morality by those causes that it embraces. Increasingly, an alternative "morality" that undermines the traditional fabric of American society is indeed being implemented from the nation's courts.

America faces hostile encroachments on many fronts. Its borders no longer protect it from incursion by outsiders, whether they be immigrants from the south, or BSE infected cattle from the north. And the "Law Of the Sea Treaty," which would subjugate America's maritime industry to international tribunals on the order of the United Nations, verges on ratification by the Congress.

But these burgeoning threats, regardless of their origin, can only become fully malignant once they are given legal standing within the nation. Far too many members of America's judiciary seem eager to make that happen.
