It's the norm out here in Granola Land's 9th Circuit Court, the Home Of Activist Judges, save for a precious few.

The founders did intend for the American democratic republic to have a reset button. Here's one of the tools for pushing it.

I'm coaching T-ball this year. If the kids actually get an out - which is nearly unthinkable (I've seen eight outs all season) - we call it an out. But we let the entire lineup bat before the opposing team bats, and the last batter is always allowed to just run around the bases as if he/she got a home run. The funniest thing was watching one little boy chasing a girl from base to base, tagging her with the ball each time. She was told to keep running, and he just ran with her, tagging her out.

As for the EU ... the socialist euro weenies have gotten the mess they asked for.

In the liberal mind, the only fair election is the one they win.

Just the sight of this would scare the snot out of any Granola Land Democrat.

Yet a majority of Kerry voters opposed gay marriage as well...

It should. When the government fears its citizens it's liberty. When the citizens fear the government it's tyranny.

"In early May, U.S. District Judge Joseph Bataillon struck down the Nebraska defense of marriage amendment because. well because he did not like it, and effectively voided the votes of 70% of Nebraskans who voted in favor of the amendment in 2000."

This would not be a problem in Nebraska (or any state) if the State Assembly would just tell the judge to go 'punt'.

The State Assembly (along with the Governor) are they ones that are in control. That is, if they would just stop pandering to the courts everytime someone sneezes the wrong way and sues that whatever it is they don't like is 'Unconstitutional'.

The Judge has the right to declare whatever he likes, but he has no power to enforce his opinion (which is all it is) on the Legislature.

He can only refer it back for regress and It's up to the Legislature to decide whether they want to rewrite it or not.

But, sadly, we aren't talking about 'constitutionalists' here, but politicians that always have an eye on that 'next election'.

Where are the fathers, who should be insisting that their children play baseball as it had been played for a hundred years before the current lib version? I guess they are hiding in the same place as state and federal legislators, who let a state or federal judge negate the results of an election because the judge didn't like the outcome. What a nation of wusses we have become!

You could have fooled me. Where is the source for that? Do you have a link?

There are several links, including Free Republic, that state that at least half (if not a majority) of Kerry supporters oppose Gay Marriage.

But Kerry himself supported Gay marriage, and by association, so did whomever voted for him.

That's why I take most polls with a grain of salt.

Even before the referendum, EU rotating President Jean-Claude Juncker, of Luxembourg, stated that France should re-run their referendum in order to achieve the "right answer" if the voters reject it.

Maybe he'll make France stand in a corner until they learn how to behave.

If they don't teach American kids how to play real baseball, it won't be long until our Major Leagues teams are full of Japanese, Caribbean Islanders and South and Central Americans.
