proposition 8 Options

[*Janette*]

By a vote of 6-1 (with Justice Carlos Moreno dissenting), the California Supreme Court has upheld Proposition 8 -- while preserving the marriage licenses of 18,000 same-sex couples who wed in the months prior to the November election. Paul Hogarth is reading the 185-page Court decision as we speak, and will be reporting later today with his legal analysis of the Court's reasoning.

No, that's not what I'm saying at all. I'm acknowledging that Baker is valid precedent ("I'm not denying Baker as precedent, since it's fairly obvious that it is"), but that with the trend leaning towards a legalization of gay marriage, I don't think it'll be precedent for much longer. Like how Plessy was precedent before Brown ruled it unconstitutional.

OK, so if you acknowledge the current precedent, do you admit your previous argument is null and void?

Besides, I'm not quite sure there is a trend, given that for every state that votes to allow gay marriage, there are just as many that vote to ban it. Not counting the ones that keep the status quo where gays aren't allowed to marry.

But hey, I hope you're right about this trend thing when it comes to Roe v. Wade.

Democratic states tend to lean more towards pro-gay / pro-choice. So ya, some states will legalize gay marriage while the republican or at least conservative states will not. Which isn't good because this gay marriage thing is part of the states splitting up. Conservatives do not want to be part of a nation that accepts homosexuality, but not just that of course. So because of these types of things pile up, they're in process of breaking away. Look up Montana and Texas... they're filing for sovereignty and have already started state industries for their states only.

Buuuullllllsshhiiittttt. The governor of Texas half-seriously suggested that Texas should secede, but it's not actually doing it (and I doubt Montana is, either). States can't "file for sovereignty" because states can't secede. We fought a war over this. Look it up, I think it's referred to in the US as the "Civil War".

Bullshit?

States can't secede? HA! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!


Bullshit my dick, you ho ass trick:

haha I'm moving to Montana while you suffer Obama's **** ****.

Over 20 states have already started their state industries which will be sovereign from the "Union". Even oil the industries that our Government has refused to reopen like a bunch of a flaming f****ts that they are, with their green this and green that . So let Obama damage the Constitution some more.. he's going to have a revolutionary war at the front step of the White House

Oh, they can secede -- until the government, you know, sends the military to force them back into the Union.

At any rate, you don't "file for sovereignty".

It doesn't matter because the Military is backing up America's citizens, not the Government. There's so many things not being reported (duh... the revolution will not be televised) that many Americans aren't even aware as to what's coming.
