QuoteActing on a tip from a reader, the editors at Wonkette have uncovered papers filed with the California Attorney General’s Office by a Huntington Beach attorney, calling for a proposed ballot initiative called  “The Sodomite Suppression Act,” which he hopes will save the Golden State from “God’s just wrath.”

The filing, along with a check for $200, will allow attorney Matthew McLaughlin to begin the process of collecting the approximately 365,000 signatures needed to put the measure before California  voters on an upcoming ballot.

According to McLaughlin’s filing, “The abominable crime against nature known as buggery, called also sodomy, is a monstrous evil that Almighty God, giver of freedom and liberty, commands us to suppress on pain of our utter destruction even as he overthrew Sodom and Gomorrha.”

Saying that it is better if offenders (“sodomites”) be put to death rather than “all of us should be killed by God’s just wrath against us for tolerating wickedness in our midst,” the attorney proposes that “any person who willingly touches another person of the same gender for purposes of sexual gratification be put to death by bullets to the head or by any other convenient method.”

While a federal judge struck down California’s death penalty as unconstitutional in 2014, McLaughlin has that covered.

“This law is effective immediately and shall not be rendered ineffective or invalidated by any court, state or federal, until heard by a quorum of the Supreme Court of California consisting only of judges who are neither sodomites nor subject to disqualification hereunder.”

McLaughlin’s law would also call for anyone who “distributes, performs, or transmits any sodomistic propaganda” to be fined $1 million and imprisoned for up to ten years for occurrence,” after which they would be cast from the state. Additionally, the law  ban all sodomites, and those who promote sodomy, from holding political office.

As noted at Wonkette, McLaughlin previously filed papers in 2004, seeking a ballot measure to provide public school students with a Bible as a literary text which, thus far, has failed to appear on a ballot for the voters consideration.

Boy howdy boys and girls. Looks like this dude has got buttfucking sodomy seriously stuck in his ass backside rectum craw. Can we not opine as to what California lawyer will in the near future come out as "tempted" by the pleasures of gay sex?

I propose a ballot measure where we strip this guy naked, spray him with glue, roll him in pot then turn him loose in the Utah wilderness for the rabbits to deal with.

Can we tar and feather him?

By golly I think you've got something there.

Wait! What about an Odanism law to protect California from this jerk off?

How about a law that allows public gay sex in front of this guy's house, and only his house.

QuoteAlmighty God, giver of freedom and liberty

Freedom and liberty?  Even ignoring the fact that this is manifestly not true (King of Kings ring a bell?  Yeah, God didn't show up for the Tennis Court Oath or the Philadelphia Convention) what the hell is the difference between freedom and liberty?!

liberty:  The condition of being free from control or restrictions.
    The condition of being free from imprisonment, slavery or forced labour.

freedom:  The lack of a specific constraint, or of constraints in general; a state of being free, unconstrained
The state of being free, of not being imprisoned or enslaved.

I'd do a guy right on his front lawn, in broad daylight, while his dog and children watched, then spoon cuddle and pash for another 30 minutes after orgasm! And I'm straight!

The rednecks are becoming even more desperate

So, this is being initiated by attorney Matthew McLaughlin?  I'm so glad his law school taught he so much about how the legal system works!   :wall:

California. Lots of Mormons lining up to sign up. This is a much, much dumber version of Prop 8. As asinine, backward, retarded, mentally deficient, pinheaded. That kind of dumb.

Why can't their be something design to round up all mormons into a community, and shove them in a closed of area of land, or an underground bunker, you know like amish, where they stay in there own backwards community and don't bother anyone else, and people who are born amish can even choose to leave it if they happen to be more progressive then their own lot.

Lets get all mormons and stick them in a similar situation, they're be happy, and we're be happy we don't have to listen to their crap anymore.

Yup, Matthew McLaughlin is yet another self-loathing gay dude. Seems like half of the Repube Party is made of them.

Just to let you know, Mormonism is pretty much either static or on the decline. Even Utah has less than 60% Mormons, every other state and country much less than that.

Oh, btw; gay doesn't exist with Mormons. It is now "same gender attraction".  :biggrin:

Somewhere in this world is a Mormon missionary jerking off in a bathroom because by being paired with another male he discovered he can no longer deny being gay; and hating himself the whole time. How incredibly sad.

QuoteThe abominable crime against nature known as buggery,

I  can't help everytime I see that word....buggery...LOLOLO.....er...L

This just in for Matthew McLaughlin....................

Is sodomy with someone of the opposite gender ok?

Is it ok if I do it with someone of the same gender but I'm not that into it?

Everyone needs to calm down and really listen to what this guy is trying to do. The killing of gays is for us people. He said so. I mean, gays have the option to move instead of being killed. Look at the Native Americans now. Casinos.... um, they're in history books. Imagine gay people owning casinos and being in history books. Win-win. Freedom. Apple Pie, Auntie Em hiding from tornados, and houses being dropped on witches. There's no place like home.

And somewhere over the rainbow is the reality this man ascribes to.

This bugs me, is that buggery?  :wall:  :fU: Solitary

Isn't he aware that straight couples can engage in buggery, too?

Um... why aren't politicians penalized for hate speech when the rest of us are?

Wait, he's the lawyer, and I'm the one who can think of at least four Supreme Court decisions this runs foul of?

Obviously, he's not a very good lawyer -- if Prop 8 didn't pass Constitutional muster, and he genuinely believes this will, he needs to either halve, or double, whatever meds he's on, because whatever he's currently taking ain't doing the job.

Any idiot with $200 can file anything as a ballot initiative.  From this point he has the impossible task of gathering enough signatures to try to get his initiative onto the ballot.

What makes this idiot unusual is that he actually had $200.

We tend to think that lawyers as a group are a bunch of smart fuckers. When I went through bankruptcy, my only real time with lawyers, the one thing I learned, fortunately, was get a successful one. That is how you tell they are smart. One of the lawyers against us was so dense the judge had to correct him like four times. Later, my own lawyer commented that you can basically take the bar until you pass it, so by trial and error you can eventually get it.

My lawyer never even had to speak. The brief he wrote was so good they couldn't really contest it. That's the kind of lawyer you want.

Impossible? Unlikely maybe but not impossible. The 365,000 signatures required to get this shit on the ballot are less than 1% of the population of California. It's also only about 5% of the people that voted for proposition 8 when it passed. No. Not impossible.

His law might just get might just get some traction with politicians regarding that million dollar fine - no more budget cuts!
This really cracked me up - effective immediately, and cannot be struck down by any court, state or federal. He's assigning his law superhero powers that don't exist for any other law. Wanker!

My first thought on hearing the word lawyer is usually "blood sucking parasite".

Lol. There are good lawyers. the ones that win our cases.  :biggrin:

Remember, these jackoffs will turn around and in the same sentence talk about how liberals like big government and conservatives don't.

"God's just wrath."

Meh.

It's just god's wrath.

Small children throw temper tantrums all the time.

I just read about this today, and I only want to say that I absolutely abhor what this man is trying to do, how could he do that? I mean, a lawyer! You would think that with all the education they receive about the history classes and subjects about the Human Rights, the Constitution, etc., at least he would be realistic, but it seems that this religious zealot is so brainwashed that he can’t even conceive that this absurd law would not pass, even if he gets the signatures.  :eek: :sad2:

I think that is amazing that people like that can exist in a country as developed as the United States.   :sad2:

Hey Matthew McLaughlin......

(http://i60.tinypic.com/2h6ss55.jpg)

I hope that this case serves as evidence of the sheer folly of allowing state constitutions to be passed by simple-majority referendum. Amending a constitution should be hard, and should be impossible when the proposed amendment curtails rights. But California makes tyranny of the majority easy.

They are fucked. SCOTUS has already ruled on non vaginal sex acts. But if these idiots want to go there do they men only gay sex because I bet these same GOP morons have gotten blowjobs and done anal themselves.

The only thing about sex is age and consent.

Aside from the fact that this won't actually make it to the ballot ...

Is there any evidence that this wasn't filed specifically to discredit the initiative process?

No. Buggery is the act of having sexual relations with bugs.. KILL THE BUG FUCKERS!

Thank you! Ole one of infinite knowledge and wisdom like a god.  :pidu: :kidra:

Wonder how long before he pulls a "Ted Haggart"?

Yeah like this doesn't break that separation of church and state. Or freedom of speech. Sure this bill will get passed.

But in the weird reality where it does get passed I say the peasants revolt! Oh lets revolt any way.

And now, the totally predictable disbarment action begins (http://www.ebar.com/news/article.php?sec=news&article=70439):

Quote(California State Senator Ricardo) Lara said that McLaughlin's measure isn't just offensive, but an actual violation of the California bar's code of conduct for attorneys. "Qualification to become a licensed attorney not only includes educational requirements and an examination, but also requires demonstrated 'good moral character,'" Lara said. "The state bar's admissions rules on good moral character include that those seeking admission to the bar demonstrate respect and obedience for the law, and respect for the rights of others and the judicial process." Rule 2-400 of the California Bar Association Code prohibits licensed practitioners from discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation when rendering legal services, Lara pointed out. The senator also said that he would look into passing legislation barring discriminatory or hate speech-oriented measures from being allowed on future state ballots.

Hell of a way to resign from being a lawyer... maybe he can go practice in Uganda (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uganda_Anti-Homosexuality_Act,_2014).
