"Troubled" in the title is a fair word. I just heard the President's voice. His tone struck me as seriously concerned, reflective, ready to act. Almost ominous.

GOOD! I hope that you are right! I will continue praying that President will make the right decision on this and act quickly and he has to know that we are all supporting him and will continue to, my goodness he has a loyal base of voters here.

I thought I heard him say something at the end about "watch what I do," or words to that effect. That was good. What wasn't so good was that business about "marriage should be defined by the people" (I forget the exact wording, but that's the gist of it).

No, it shouldn't "be defined by the people," because if that's the case, once "the people" are convinced to accept a travesty, bye-bye Western Culture.

We don't let "the people" decide if it's OK to rape their children, or if it's OK to steal, or if it's OK to do any variety of antisocial behaviors. We live in a Constitutional Republic, not a Mobocracy. Or at least that's how it's supposed to be. "The People" don't have the right to decide that it's "OK" to own other people, or beat their tenants for being late with their rent, even if "the people" want to say that's OK. Even if most of the people want that. Even if all of the people want that.

Otherwise, the Constitution is a meaningless rag.

Ready to act? Then what the hell is he waiting for? I would have instructed Governor Schwarzenegger to arrest the mayor already.
