#####the whole Amendment thing seems a bit mean spirited.#####
As opposed to arrogant, power mad judges telling the voters to go to hell. That's much nicer.
Why don't we just go ahead and scrap the Constitution, cancel future elections, and announce that from now on Margaret Marshall will rule the country as she sees fit. And don't anyone dare to disagree with her. It might appear mean spirited.

Agreed, the MA SJC has indeed gotten a lot of people upset. If there were a fair press, that might likely be an even greater number. But the whole thing is being framed by the liberal media as a civil rights issue. The people who are today's editors just salivate over a chance to be the equivalent of those who reported on black civil rights in the 60's.
I'm just trying to interpret the way the mushy middle feels about this. Right now, conservatives have enough strength to get across a "this could happen in your back yard" approach to the gay marriage issue, and elect more Republicans, but it's not enough to get a full FMA here and now. Defeat some Rats out in the South and the farm country, and maybe next year, the vote will be different.
Overreach on mean-spiritedness, and risk having a Rat Congress and Rat President dealing with the issue. The President has played this issue well, it was Senator Frist who provided today's victory headlines in the gay-sympathetic liberal media.
