A Test Case for Constitutionally Protected Same-Sex "Marriage"

Well, the forces out to destroy the traditional family now have their federal test case for constitutionally protected same-sex "marriage". Regular Guy Paul has the details:

Gay Felons' Relationships Equal To Marriage, Rules Federal Judge

Let me set the scene. A pair of homosexual drug dealers, Roberts & Mangini, were convicted, jailed and then paroled.

One of the conditions of their probation was that they can't associate with other felons, including each other (this rule is known as Standard Condition No. 9). They sued, with the help of the (of course!) ACLU, on the grounds that they were spouses:

... [U.S. District Judge Marvin] Katz now swung for the fences. Citing Lawrence v. Texas, the 2003 Supreme Court decision which absurdly held that the Constitution prohibits states from banning same-sex sodomy, he declared: "The Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution protects the right to intimate association."

Because of this, he argued, probation rules must treat two unmarried men who claim an "intimate association" just as if they were a married couple or a brother and a sister. "The Probation Office has violated defendants' Fifth Amendment right to equal protection by refusing to grant defendants permission to associate with each other, while maintaining a policy of granting such permission to similarly situated individuals in other kinds of family relationships (i.e., siblings, parent and child, and spouses)," he said. [Emphasis added.]

So a pair of convicted drug dealers sodomizing each other deserve the same respect for their relationship as I and my wife raising our children to be good citizens?
