Remember after Bush v. Gore, when all the Republicans told us we were duty-bound to accept the Supreme Court’s ruling?

What about all those widowers and widows created by their wars and crazy police attacks? What about those children whose mother or father dies because of substandard health care? If they were really concerned about children…
Far from a victory for anyone, this is instead a dilution of marriage as a societal institution…
Well, tell that to Hastert. I don’t think he got the memo.

Couples who enter into a same sex marriage in Texas would do best not to announce it too far and wide. The open carry laws are in place, and a gun nut will be happy to stand his ground in the face of an imminent threat of a loving couple.

The definition of marriage has already been changing, at least since slavery was abolished. Slave owners claiming sexual benefits were not limited within a traditional two-person marriage.

It is as strange as it gets that the party on the decline would hold fast to beliefs which are becoming unpopular, fly in the face of common sense, and only because so much of it stems from their hatred of The Black Man. The leadership of the party will happily denounce and threaten even as its members flee. At the same time Texas is a special case for reasons passing understanding.
It’s time everyone who works in a marriage licensing-office across Texas, and indeed across America, asks themselves: who do you think you should follow, the Supreme Court or some local yahoo using his office to move up the political ladder? Consider your answer carefully.

Texas no place for Bristol Palin.

Sometimes I wonder if we could give certain states back to Mexico. Then I think to myself, “Why? Hasn’t Mexico suffered enough with what’s going right now?”

Even deep red states have a portion of non-insane population. I live in a blue dot in red Missouri; neither I nor any of my neighbors are looking to become part of a new Confederacy.

If Texas does defy SCOTUS, then I desperately hope they are promptly sued by someone seeking both (1) a same-sex marriage license and (2) attorneys’ fees sanctions against the attorney general for taking a frivolous position against a clearly settled rule of law.

Importance.
And nothing will change our collective resolve that all Americans should be able to exercise their faith in their daily lives without infringement and harassment," he continued.

Was that ever in play, or is it just a red herring?
Mr. Paxton, this decision and the decision in Marbury vs. Madison says otherwise.
