Supreme Court of California

I am adding new, additional information to my previous review: Supreme Court Chief Justice Tani G. Cantil-​Sakauye spent her early years as a judge in Sacramento County, and then the Third District Court of Appeal. In addition to the Sacramento Superior Court corruption problems I detailed in my previous review, at this link is a must read investigative report about corruption and cronyism problems at the 3^rd District Court, before, during and after Cantil-​Sakauye was there:
Explain to me how anyone can be immersed in that kind of corruption and (1) not be a part of it, or (2) not report it, as required by law. If she was not part of it, it is fair to assume that this is the answer: Tani Cantil-​Sakauye worked as a deputy district attorney and comes from a law enforcement background where the Blue Code of Silence dictates that you do not report the misconduct of your coworkers.
How does someone that ethically compromised become the Chief Justice of the California Supreme Court? Ask failed Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, he made the CJ appointment.
For a long, well researched review about the Supreme Court’s obligation to police attorney misconduct in California, read my previous review below. Spoiler alert: Oversight and accountability FAIL.

Went here to celebrate Justice Joyce Kennard’s retirement.
What a BEAUTIFUL building! It’s just gorgeous both inside and outside. I didn’t really know where to go, so I had to ask a few people for directions. Everyone was extremely nice and friendly, and my interactions with them were pleasant.
The event itself went well. Can’t wait to go back for other events!

Tough to find cheap parking but this place is more civilized vs Bryant. Clean, spacious, café, free wifi and comfortable seating.

Redemption is achieved in the form of revoking Proposition 8. Somehow, though, it’s a bittersweet victory. It’s sad to think that equality isn’t everyone’s first priority.
Onward, ever onward!

So what were those six justices smoking when they ruled in favor of Prop 8?
Freakin’ ninnies!
Well, at least they didn’t take away my marriage.
Still, I don’t see how it can be fair, or constitutional, for me to have gotten married last summer, and then now, somebody in the same situation cannot get married.

Well, I think these guys deserve another shout-​out today, don’t you? They did the right thing the first time around. Unfortunately, they can’t do it again.
But their counterparts on the US Supreme Court can fix this little problem, and I have little doubt that they will one day permanently make real equality the law of the land, once and for all.

Three cheers for the justice system! Now we can be married in Canada and the US where it really matters.

this was bound to happen. too much fine dining on polk street!

Thank you supreme court!!!
Now if only I could find a man…

Thanks for acting in a surprisingly non-​partisan way to protect our Constitutional rights. I hear wedding bells.

(On gay marriage)
Finally some goddam sense in this country! Now, I happen to be straight but that brought tears to my eyes when I saw all those couples hugging and cheering on the news.
Take that, neocon assholes!

Goin to the chapel
Gonna get married…
thanks to you folks.

Four stars: one for each of the justices who voted to strike down the ludicrously disciminatory, hate-​filled same-​sex marriage ban.
Thank you, Chief Justice Ronald George, Justice Carlos R. Moreno, Justice Joyce L. Kennard, and Justice Kathryn Mickle Werdegar.
It’s worth pointing out that all four are Republican appointees who clearly could not stomach the «separate but equal» situation we have going now with domestic partnership laws. I suppose all four realized that we already had this argument in the 60s, and decided in favor of civil rights for all.
Now let’s all try not to fuck it up by voting to encode discrimination into our very state constitution in November, shall we? Once the hate-​mongers pass that, the next step is a constitutional amendment making GLBTs 3/​5ths of a person, no?

Way to go for some justice in this country!

*200^th Review here goes** saved this # for a special occasion. Here goes
Darin L marry me in 29 days! I’ll be your house boy. wait I am older! (and no I don’t know him just love his reviews ahha)
Anyhow YAY WAY TO GO SUPREME COURT!!!
At first when I heard it was overruled I thought «oh that so typical conservative family right wingers» then realized over turning a ban is a GOOD THING!
Sorry I was a bit slow yesterday!
Now let us pray it gets to through the November ballot. (I think it does have to be voted on?). wait separation of church and state. oops!
KEEP IT UP!!!

here… here!!!
I think I’ve been driving everyone batty since I’ve been substituting the word: ‘marry, marries, married, wedding, wed’ with domestic partnership, domestic partnership ceremony, domestic partnership ceremonial, domestic partnership customs, and variations thereof.

Thank you!
Thank you for making me believe, (if only for a short time before more conservative groups start crying), that Human rights can exist in this country. At least here, our court understands the meaning of the word equality. I can not say enough to express my gratitude, so I will keep this review shot and sweet. Thank you for legalizing same sex marriage for all of the Lgbtqi communities and for all the lives that this affects. I am sure that not everyone is a fan of this, but I am. Five stars for defending the rights of all Californians.
CHAD

Thank you for giving me the right to a secular marriage free from the much-​maligned euphemism «domestic partner» (
). I don’t know about you, but I always fucking hated the Orwellian resonance of that term.
But I have one question:
Couldn’t you have done this a year ago — LIKE WHEN I WAS STILL IN A MOTHERFUCKING FOUR-​YEAR RELATIONSHIP?!? I mean, fuck, what now? I’ve got to stop whoring? I’ve got 30 days — no, no, 29 — to find myself a man?!? Is that it?!? FUCK YOUUUUUU!!!
AAaaaaAAAAGGggggHhhhhHH!
No, no, I’M KIDDING. Seriously, thank you. I never thought this would happen in my lifetime.
And now I’m off to celebrate by drinking until I puke up my liver and having anonymous sex! WHEEEEEEEEE!
