And the Russian nobility owned serfs. Your point is...?

Jefferson was a great man and a pioneer of freedom.

No, it can’t be. Just a coincidence.

A spokesman for “No on 8” ... Steve Schmidt. “Every time somebody sees one of our ads, they’ve seen two of theirs.”
...
As of last week, gay marriage opponents had raised more than $19.7m, compared with $18.5m raised by gay marriage supporters, according to data compiled by the Los Angeles Times.

If the Yes on 8 runs twice as many ads as the other side for only 6% more money, that's efficient use of the money.

I've heard the Gavin Newsom "whether you like it or not" ads every day, and I've seen some TV ads supporting Prop 8. They are all very good.

That was a statute. A constitutional provision cannot be overruled by a state high court. They are obligated to uphold it and its binding on the executive and legislative branches of the government.

They'd have to find federal grounds to challenge it. Something called DOMA gets in the way of their being able to make one.

While Lawrence v Texas did not explicitly give queer marriages constitutional protection, it laid the foundation for the Supreme Court to do so.

Barry's picks and could make it so.

That could happen. So its vital to redouble our efforts to prevent an Obama victory, no matter what the polls say.
