Instigator of Intolerance Bishop Harry Jackson was dealt a fatal blow to his efforts to force a repeal referendum on the question of same gender marriage in Washington DC today when the Supreme Court refused to hear his case.
The District of Columbia back on December 15, 2009 passed same gender marriage legislation on an 11-2 vote and it was signed into law by then DC mayor Adrian Fenty.
Bigot Harry Jackson and his right wing friends have been anxiously trying to kill it ever since, especially in light of the fact the state of Maryland is prepared to take up the issue in this year's legislative session in Annapolis.
Jackson filed a lawsuit against the District's Board of Elections and Ethics after it refused to put an initiative on the ballot that would repeal the DC marriage law. The board cited the 1977 DC Human Rights Law in ruling that the ballot question would in effect authorize discrimination.
The D.C. Appeals Court, the federal court that rules on District of Columbia matters, issued a 5-4 decision in July allowing the board of elections' action to stand. But the Supreme Court, without comment, declined to take up the Jackson v. D.C. Board of Elections case.
It requires four justices to agree to hear a case before it is placed on the docket.
Now that the Supreme Court has legally pimp slapped him again, he can scurry back to his Lanham, MD megachurch and prepare to put more miles on his car running back and forth to Annapolis trying to fulfill his role as a drum major for injustice.
Christopimpin' ain't easy is it Harry?
