Harris County Republican Party to rally against “sodomite” marriage, “dictator” judge on Monday
Calling gay people sodomites and U.S. District Judge Orlando Garcia a would-be dictator, the Harris County Republican Party announced it will host a news conference Monday morning in response to Garcias ruling Wednesday striking down Texas bans on same-sex marriage.
The event at county GOP headquarters seems like a pretty obvious ploy to energize the conservative base in advance of Tuesdays primary when, among others, Chair Jared Woodfill faces a challenger from within the party.
According to a release sent out Friday afternoon, party workers and eleted officials will stand shoulder to shoulder with people of faith to denounce the lawless ruling of a federal court seeking to impose the whims of unelected judges on the people of Texas.
President Obama set a precedent of lawlessness by intimating that he would now use his pen and phone to circumvent the will of the people and their elected representatives. Now every petty would-be dictator this side of the Rio Grande is advancing personal agendas by decree, said Woodfill, who is referred to as a staunch advocate of family values.
