The California Supreme Court Gets it Right

It is a fabulous day to be a resident of the great state of California! Here is the headline from the Sacramento Bee:
Gay marriage legal in California, court declares
There are reports from all major media outlets, of course, including the Los Angeles Times.
I will write later in more detail about the court’s ruling. However, the Court has ruled that the statutory language “limiting the designation of marriage to a union ‘between a man and a woman’ is unconstitutional and must be stricken from the statute, and that the remaining statutory language must be understood as making the designation of marriage available both to opposite-sex and same-sex couples.”
The Court has also issued a writ of mandate “directing the appropriate state officials to take all actions necessary to effectuate our ruling in this case so as to ensure that county clerks and other local officials throughout the state, in performing their duty to enforce the marriage statutes in their
jurisdictions, apply those provisions in a manner consistent with” the Court’s decision.
I will extol the Lord at all times;
his praise will always be on my lips.My soul will boast in the Lord;
let the afflicted hear and rejoice.Glorify the Lord with me;
let us exalt his name together.Psalm 34: 1-3

Wow…
Never expected that any court will approve it..:o
cant believe that this was legalize.

I think, at best, I must not understand. You want us to glorify the Lord with you - and yet you agree with the CA Supreme Court changing the definition of marriage? This is grievous to the Lord I am sure.
