I say let this fester. The Dems have already made a very big point for W on the judicial quality not only at the federal level but at the state level also. Liberal activist judges will be liberal activist judges whether it is county, state or federal level. To have four judges shoot down any idea that this is a blatant violation of established law where the cart has been put before the horse (issue then sue) clearly shows what part of the political spectrum they are actively working for.

President Bush has no need to jump in - this is a state issue as of now but clearly after May when Mass starts issuing gay marriage licenses the federal route towards a Constitutional Amendement will pick up steam. There are already 38 states that have ammended their constitutions to mandate that marriage is between a man and a woman - the very amount of states needed. And in Congress, many Dems are going to be cornered, slaves to opinion polls as they are.

As to Governor Arnold, he knows very well that as of now, to arrest Newsom would create a martyr. Once this is resolved, one way or another, the precedent for Arnold and future Governor's will be set - blatantly ignore a ballot initiative passed by the people who give consent to the those that govern and you WILL be arrested.

Come November, I think you are going to find a lot of State reps out of a job. Oh, and by the way, this issue and home security (we need bumper stickers like "OSAMA FOR KERRY") will ensure a huge electoral sweep come November. The Dems have managed to hang themselves.

One last point: we need to take the pro-gay-marriage proponents rhetoric and start employing it to the affirmative-action battle, particuarly. Whereas the gay activist can only point to mostly percieved on-the-street discrimination coupled with their claims of institutionalized discrimination, the clear bias at both primary and higher-education institutions towards anyone that doesn't support the liberal agenda can be clearly proved due to the enormous amount of evidence reported by students over the years, not to mention guest speaker choices, text books, course choices, periodical subscriptions, speech codes, editorials, published faculty statements etc.

OK - that's enough.
