Thanks for your rationality on this issue. Part of me understands the emotional overreaction of many when it comes to these matters but it certainly isn't anymore becoming.

Do you see me overreacting emotionally? I replied with facts, logic and good datum. Of course there's also an element of righteous anger. If you were one of the 70% in Nebraska, how does it feel to have ONE judge tell you that your views are outdated, reactionary, and unenlightened? I don't hate gays and lesbians; I just happen to think their lifestyle is NOT good public policy for the survival of our nation.

While we hate these rulings as much as the more emotional we understand that the Founders had good reason to form the Constitution as they did. Fortunately they did such a good job that the nation has survived horrible court rulings in the past and will in the future.

It is disturbing to watch "conservatives" prepare to throw out the baby with the bath water after rulings they don't like. This tendency was given great impetus by the reaction to the Schiavo rulings and its danger becomes more obvious.
