It would be uncivil to refer to Judge Arenda Wright Allen as an ignoramus, but there is something notable about her opinion striking down Virginia’s Amendment defining marriage as between one man and one woman.
“Our Constitution declares that ‘all men’ are created equal. Surely this means all of us,” Judge Allen wrote on the first page of her opinion. That line opens the second paragraph of the Declaration of Independence and appears nowhere in the Constitution…
Naturally, she is an Obama appointee.

Which is why it has become perfectly acceptable to say simply, the Court was wrong.
Ignoramus is a perfectly acceptable term to use for this judge. It did originally mean a lawyer that did not know the law.
Truly an ignoramus. However, I did a little research on Wikipedia. The Senate confirmed her nomination in 2011 with a vote of 96 to 0. Republicans mounted no opposition to her appointment.
Just based upon this error of law itself, her ruling should be overturned. Period.

Well, when educated in public schools, this is what you get, a retard.
Why is that I am always reading comments here slamming public school education? Did anyone here besides me get a decent public school education? I sure as hell did. I had excellent, dedicated, tenured teachers, and parents who cared and demanded much of both me and the school. I chose a private catholic university for undergrad, but a public university for law school.
I know it’s off topic by being a bit defensive on that point, but I’ve read similar themed comments several times here lately and I guess it just makes me a bit frustrated because I, and most of my peers, received an excellent public school education. Don’t mean to offend anyone. I suppose I would just suggest that we not paint every public school outcome as less than the not-always-as-good alternatives.
Commie core? (Since Common Core didn’t exist when she went to school).
Neptune : when did u graduate from high school?
1991. LONG before this Common Core and NCLB crap.
