A Democratic State Should Have A Democratic Attorney General II

View the original

I found in my inbox this morning a blast e-mail from the irreplaceable Bill Siroty. In it, he mentioned an example of Attorney General Kelly Ayotte's right-wing activism that I had forgotten and I think merits recounting.

In the summer of 2008, the California Supreme Court declared "that California's ban on same-sex marriage violates the 'fundamental constitutional right to form a family relationship,'" and made same-sex marriage legal in the nation's largest state. This ruling was met with tooth-gnashing outrage by right-wingers and homophobes throughout our great land.

Throughout the country, politicians of the right searched for ways to make political hay out of the Court's decision.
