Noah spreads it thick. I think I need a pair of hip-boots.

How do the gays , once married, get a divorce?
In Nevada?

Leave it to liberals to reverse all values. A constitutional amendment is the exact opposite of "Judicial Activism."

George W., Judicial Activist...Bush is a fair-weather federalist.

I'm curious how supporting the process of amending the Constitution (a process in which Bush actually plays no role) to take a state issue and follow the rules to make it a federal one makes Bush a "fair-weather" federalists (it was the federalists, after all, who crafted the process to amend the Constitution), or how it makes him a judicial activist (given that the change would be done without input from the courts as well).

The left is quite fond of calling up down and wrong right, but this is whacked even by their standards.

More typical "liberal" misdirection - the STATE of California voted 61% - 39% AGAINST gay marriage. The President is advocating that when the people of the state have their wishes overridden by activist minorities, it is time for the Feds to step in. Otherwise, the only recourse of the people to exert their will would be by violence.

I don't know what is worse: that this guy actually believes what he writes, or that he is taken seriously enough to justify his employment. Judicial activism, by definition, is impossible for a sitting President. For President Bush to even approach the same level of tyranny as judicial activism, he would have to ban gay marriage by executive order. He is instead pursuing a constitutional amendment, largely because those states that are pursuing gay marriage are doing so without the consent of the people. These facts throw the idea of "fair-weather federalism" out the window.

Tim Noah is either ignorant of the plain truth or deliberately spreading lies. Either way, he is a perfect candidate for Orwell's Ministry of Truth.
