Maybe if the GOP would have fielded a candidate against Democrat Roy Cooper in the last election, the rule of law and the people’s votes might be worth something. But then again, how did our two senators vote for this activist’s judge when your pResident nominated him:
Judge Cogburn: Not exactly an “activist” judge
Cogburn’s nomination by President Barack Obama in 2010 was enthusiastically supported by both Hagan and North Carolina’s other senator, Republican Richard Burr.
So 61% of the people voted against immoral homosexual marriage in North Carolina. And it only took one fool of a judge to override the ballot box.

Gay marriage now legal in NC
“The court determines that North Carolina’s laws prohibiting same-sex marriage are unconstitutional as a matter of law,” wrote Cogburn, who was appointed to the federal bench by President Barack Obama. “The issue before this court is neither a political issue nor a moral issue. It is a legal issue and it is clear as a matter of what is now settled law in the Fourth Circuit that North Carolina laws prohibiting same sex marriage, refusing to recognize same sex marriages originating elsewhere, and/or threatening to penalize those who would solemnize such marriages, are unconstitutional.”
Though Cogburn’s federal judicial district only covers the western third of the state, North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper said through a spokeswoman that the Asheville judge’s order applies statewide.

I can tell you the natives of Asheville don’t support this monstrosity act, just the implant
freaks. Asheville was always traditional.
