DeMint Statement on Judicial Decision on California's Proposition 8



WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, U.S. Senator Jim DeMint (R-South Carolina),
chairman of the Senate Steering Committee, made the following statement:


"Today's wrongful court decision is another attempt to impose a secular
immorality on the American people who keep voting to preserve
traditional marriage," said Senator DeMint. "Traditional marriage has
been the foundation of civil society for centuries and we cannot simply
toss it aside to fit the political whims of liberal activists with
gavels. Marriage is a religious institution that was codified into law
to protect it. Now, the courts are trying to deprive the majority of
Americans who value marriage the democratic ability to protect it any
longer. If our marriage laws are valueless, they will become
meaningless. History and research have shown that strong nations depend
on strong families, and that the best chance for a child's success in
life depends on having a family with a mother and father. I hope the
Supreme Court will defend the democratic judgment of the people of
California."
