"... no rational purpose..." - The Judge

Not that they won't try, but this is one they can't pin on liberals.

According to the AP, via the San Jose Mercury News:

Judge in gay marriage case is a Catholic Republican appointee

SAN FRANCISCO - Supporters of same-sex marriage found an ally Monday in San Francisco Judge Richard Kramer - a Catholic Republican appointed to the bench by a former GOP governor.

"We're certainly feeling the judge's decision is right," said San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, whose city's lawsuit prompted Kramer's ruling that gays and lesbians have the right to marry in California, despite a law and a voter-approved measure declaring marriage to be the exclusive realm of heterosexuals.

Opponents of gay marriage immediately declared that 57-year-old Kramer is a judicial activist whose decision was "ludicrous" and "nonsense."

Yep. Anybody who disagrees with them is an "activist." Why are they so predictable?
