LAT eulogizes George

Well, maybe not eulogize but the LAT today definitely tries to humanize. The "George" under discussion is Ronald George, Chief Justice of the California Supreme Court, who wrote the opinion and supplied the fourth vote in the same-sex marriage decree. George says he was only trying to do the right thing. What he actually was doing was substituting his judgment for the judgment of a majority of Californians, who voted in 2000 to outlaw gay marriage.

George is the kind of judge or justice that drives conservatives up the wall. Like the justices in Roe v Wade, he found something in the California constitution (they found it in the federal constitution) that wasn't there. George ought to be recalled.
