Is the first time an initiative was started by a state that is specifically for recognizing/having “gay marriage” as opposed to a popular vote process that would bar ‘gay marriage’? I wonder if that won’t be harder to pass by popular vote.
Yeah, Maine is in the low-mid 50% range hopefully, at least for a little bit longer.

The lies and outrageous harassment by the homo-mafia will be fierce in Maine - AND Washington. Let them be; it will reveal what barbarians they are.
I suppose the question of authority in international relations is a matter of power.
The Confederates had the legal authority to secede, merely by revoking the ratification of the Constitution, which is what they did, but, as history proved, they lacked the power, and therefore their legal authority was revoked de facto and ex post facto de jure.
Similarly, the question of Texas' secession--or Hawaii's--is a matter not of law but of power.
I seem to have answered my own question.
