Fiery dissent from Supreme decision in same-sex case from a Louisiana supreme

Speaking for herself and two others, Justice Knoll tore into the nationals:

Justice Jeannette Knoll led the charge [fr dissent from what’s usually the routine incorporation of a decision], with a blistering criticism of “five lawyers” playing the “super-legislators” who imposed their “will over the solemn expression of the people.”

“Unilaterally,” she wrote, “these five lawyers took for themselves a question the Constitution expressly leaves to the people and about which the people have been in open debate — the true democratic process.”

Calling it a “mockery of rights” and an “utter travesty,” Knoll warns of the “horrific impact these five lawyers have made on the democratic rights of the American people to define marriage.”

It reminds me of Pope John Paul II telling theologians to stop discussing a woman priesthood.

The Supremes are too easily mocked as divines, telling the plebs what’s good for them. Adapting Pogo, we have seen the plebs and it is us.
