Porno Pete loves those activist judges now

Kathy @ Birmingham Blues popped me an email and said: I see Peter LaBarbera wants activist judges to help get the anti-gay marriage amendment on the ballot in Illinois, even though he and his pals didn't get enough signatures on their little petitions.

Now isn't that special?

The unrelenting mouthpiece and honcho of the Illinois Family Institute (and the Protect Marriage Illinois initiative) can't accept defeat, so now he's begging for a butt-searing spanking from those out-of-control, power-mad judges. Chaps or no chaps?

Organizers of the gay marriage referendum are claiming in federal court that getting a referendum on the Illinois ballot is both burdensome and unconstitutional because of the complicated process to gather and verify petition signatures, said Peter LaBarbera, executive director of the conservative Illinois Family Institute and Protect Marriage Illinois.

But LaBarbera and other gay marriage opponents were rebuffed earlier this month when a district court judge dismissed their claim so now they want a federal appellate court to intervene.

"It's not near over," LaBarbera said.

Damn, I thought social conservatives didn't want any part of the vile fed courts? He needs to be ratted out to Mother Schlafly.
