People should also know that the Kentucky Revised Statutes forbid the poor and the rich alike from panhandling or sleeping under the bridges on I-75.

This is true.

But there are loopholes. Remember the KY ban on humans fucking animals? Many Kentuckians have gotten around that by allowing animals to fuck them. Let the animals ride you.

“such a ban would promote procreation by heterosexual couples”

On the right side, down the page, of the front of the SCOTUS website:

you can access all the briefs, including amicus, on these cases.

rotflmao…Well that puts the brakes on all those heterosexual dudes and dudettes who are trying to gay marry another dude or dudette in Kentucky, huh?

BTW…It’s just about time for total clarification of “traditional marriage” in general. And for that, I’m going to turn it over to Betty Bowers:

Why “REPUBLICAN FOOLS DAY”? Beshear is a Democrat. An old-school Southern, crypto-Jim Crow, Democrat, but a Democrat nonetheless.

“our new law forbidding circumcision applies equally to men and women, Jews and gentiles, and thus in no way discriminates against any group . . .”

Kentucky (the personal lubricant state: KY) ! Heh!!! ___Using the gov’s logic, guess those anti-abortion laws the Righties keep pursuing are all fair too…because they keep men from having abortions!

Attorneys actually wrote that for the governor?? My gawwd…the stupid burns! Wait …maybe it was that Matt McLaughlin and the hole he ran into in CA came out in KY!!!

The Civil War never ended, indeed it continues in many painful and divisive ways.

Every married couple, gay or straight, is a different relationship, and unless it’s your own marriage, it’s hard to know what their individual deals are.
But a statement like this–indicating not only complete obliviousness to the importance of sexuality in a marriage, but an assumption that everyone else is the same–is a horrifying clue.

36

This brings to mind something along the line of “all Republicans might be idiots, but not all idiots are Republicans.”

But Gays can and do marry the opposite sex.

And we all know how well that works out in the end.

Thank you, Anatole. :wink:

Given the quality of the argument in that brief he doesn’t sound likes he trying very hard to win.

And yes, he is unquestionably one of the heroes of the ACA-era. A Democratic governor of a red state who demonstrated that the only reason red states cant have extremely well functioning state exchanges and medicaid expansion is because Republican governors are lazy and shiftless.
