Flake is such a disappointment. He will NOT be reelected as McCain managed. He is likely assuming that we will not have long memories. The one thing I NEVER forget is TREASON. And I despise traitors such as Flake.
To: GIdget2004
Sen. Flake would do well to remember that if a certain Justice Department would have defended the Defense Of Marriage Act which I'm sure he voted for, then states would not be forced into the position of passing this kind of legislation in reply to the wanton attack on normalcy by militant activist queers.
Actions beget reactions. Attack begets defense.

While I hope Jan does the right thing, we are in times of widespread evil; therefore, she will not veto it.

When I was seriously considering moving to AZ in the 1950s it was one of the most, probably THE most, conservative states in the US. But in more recent years AZ, along with several other western states such as NV, CO, and NM, have become favorite havens for liberal Democrat retirees from CA and many liberal eastern and upper midwestern states. At the rate this migration to the formerly conservative southwest states and south FL has grown in recent years those areas will soon be as dominated by liberals as are the states that the retirees are abandoning in favor of a warmer climate and less crowded and less polluted towns and cities.
17 years ago I left my once conservative but now liberal south FL birthplace and moved to the very conservative (for now at least) north GA mountains. My current congress critter has proven to be very conservative so far, but both of GA's current psuedo-conservative Senators need to be replaced by the real thing.

Flake lied to get his job. He claimed to be a conservative, but all the time he was an establishment Republican.
So, fool us once, shame on you. Only if you get reelected after showing your true colors are Arizonans to blame.

Is it not clear that those who call respect for other people's freedom to associate or not associate, "anti" anything, display a clear totalitarian bias?
We need to stop catering to the Collectivist "newspeak," that has enabled our American totalitarians to increasingly suppress freedom in the name of "social justice," "fairness" or "equality."

It is not discriminatory, it is designed to prevent forced participation.
A baker will sell a generic cake no problem. Demandint the baker create a “two groom” wedding cake, that is forced participation.
What if the baker does not believe in marriage?
What if the baker does not want to make a “Congrats on your Divorce” cake?
What if the baker does not want to make an xrated cake?
What if the baker does not want to make a satanist themed cake?
Objection is nonsense.

Imagine if state legislatures still appointed senators.
First, we wouldn't be reading about a senator publicly opposing his state's law.
Second, anti-9th and 10th Amendment judges wouldn't infest federal courts.

It’s one thing if all it did was protect people from having to violate their conscience by catering to a gay wedding, but the law is so broadly written that just about any sect could use it to deny service to anyone they want. Muslims could refuse to serve blind people with dogs, Scientologists could use it to refuse to serve whatever the heck it is that violates their religion, where does it end?

Imagine if state legislatures still appointed senators. David Dewhurst would be the junior Senator from Texas and Mike Lee would be a Salt Lake City attorney.

The Founders knew what they were doing.
Those that tinkered with it after that? Not so much.
The Constitution was like a new born baby - purest at its birth.

Good analogy. Perhaps the bill of rights was a baptism.
