How can this be, I have it on good authority, from almost every Senate Democrat, that this wasn't even close to happening.

I would like all of these people to

shut up

sit down and

leave us alone.

We do not want to know.

We don't care.

We will not respect them more, and with the grief they subject us to, we will respect them less.

We do not want to modify our laws, our school books or our legal system just so they can play "getting married".

The only usefullness homosexual couples present to us right now is the corner they put JF'nK in, on the issues.

President Bush is rather clear on where he stands...JF'nK is not.

I think the interesting problem is that the political process is not moving quickly enough to get a Constitutional Amendment in place in time to stop a likely Ct. of Appeals decision followed by a S.C.O.T.U.S. affirmation.

So we may have a period when Federal right to marry may apply, followed by the implementation of a Constitutional Amendment which prohibits gay marriage. With a prohibition on bills of attainder and ex post facto laws – presumably we would be faced with a large number of gay marriages that would be “grandfathered”. Clearly the gay and lesbian legal organizations (which are very talented and very aggressive) are speeding along this path in an effort to be able to make the argument against a proposed Constitutional Amendment that “x00,000 marriages can’t be wrong”.

Republicans and conservative Democrats need to grow some balls on this issue and get an Amendment out of the Senate.

Well this pretty well removes this issue from the old " let the states decide" arguement...So now where do people stand? That ought to be asked over and over and over again until all the dodgers are shown for the cowards they are.

"I hope that the court recognizes that and says it isn't equality if opposite sex couples can marry but same-sex couples cannot."

Let's change this statement a little and wonder how the court would deal with it:

"I hope that the court recognizes that and says it isn't equality if two people can marry but three people cannot."

They are residents of Florida, not Massachusetts.

They're judge shopping - looking for a liberal judge who will agree with them.

"No one has anything to be afraid of by recognizing our marriage," Wilson said outside the courthouse Tuesday. "

Who says anyone is afraid of it. We are downright sick of these people flaunting their unethical and sinful behaviour in our faces. These people won't be happy until their lifestyle is rated one step higher than heterosexual marriage.

Can we sue to force all states to recognize "concealed carry" laws?

That's good news. Hopefully, it will reach the Supreme Court. If they support the plaintiffs, a Constitutional amendment will follow.
