Agape Press reports on uncertainty as to whether California Attorney General Bill Lockyer will defend California law:
Liberty Counsel and CCF [the Campaign for California Families] point out that the state's top law enforcement official was virtually silent for an entire week while the San Francisco County Clerk issued illegal marriage licenses to same-sex couples. And it was only after California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger asked Lockyer to intervene that the AG's office posted a message on its website.According to Liberty Counsel, that message stated the AG would defend the law -- but then added that Lockyer himself is opposed to any law that "discriminates" and personally favors domestic partnerships and civil unions.
"Having remained silent when he should have acted and having publicly stated his personal opinions, Mr. Thomasson and CCF question whether the AG's office will adequately and vigorously defend California's law that state marriage is between one man and one woman," a Liberty press release says.
If you live in California, use this page to contact Lockyer and remind him of his obligation to vigorously represent his client, California's voters, who spoke clearly on this issue by overwhelmingly approving California's Defense of Marriage Act in March 2000.
This week Dennis Prager, Thomas Sowell and Charles Krauthammer each offered interesting (and in one case quite provocative) analyses on the same-sex marriage issue.
