Sarah Palin Turkey Carnage!

Unbelievable - Pardon a Turkey, then give an interview while they're being slaughtered and blood-drained right behind you? Sheer genius! (of the idiot-savant category), you're a maverick alright - you refuse to conform to the basic tenets of human intelligence!

Not Changey Enough For Ya?

Get a grip! After 8 years of baffling incompetency, ignorance, demagoguery, and constitutional obliteration, all the change that was talked about for so long is now becoming manifest in cabinet and advisor picks that are the best of the best, based on intelligence, competence, and experience. That's the the change we need, and the change we deserve. Obama is selecting the best people for the job, based on his criteria for getting the job done. Whether or not they served in the current, Clinton or Bush-senior administrations is irrelevant - as long as they're smart, qualified, and not ideologues or "graduates" of Bob Jones or Liberty university...we'll be just fine.

California Supreme Court to Hear Arguments Against Prop 8

San Francisco—The California Supreme Court today denied requests to stay
the enforcement or implementation of Proposition 8, and at the same time
agreed to decide several issues arising out of the passage of Proposition 8.

The court’s order, issued in the first three cases that had been filed directly in
the state’s highest court challenging the validity of Proposition 8, directed the
parties to brief and argue three issues:

  1. Is Proposition 8 invalid because it constitutes a revision of, rather than
    an amendment to, the California Constitution?
  2. Does Proposition 8 violate the separation-of-powers doctrine under
    the California Constitution?
  3. If Proposition 8 is not unconstitutional, what is its effect, if any, on
    the marriages of same-sex couples performed before the adoption of
    Proposition 8?

In its order, the court established an expedited briefing schedule, under
which briefing will be completed in January 2009 and oral argument potentially
could be held as early as March 2009.

The court battle against prop 8 solidifies

From the Lambda Legal website:

  • "The California Constitution makes clear that a major change in the roles played by the different branches of government cannot be made by a simple majority vote through the initiative process, but at the very least must first go through the state legislature. Changes to the underlying principles of the constitution must be approved by two-thirds of both houses of the legislature before going to voters. That didn't happen with Proposition 8, and that's why it's invalid."

    It's a question of love...Thanks Keith, we love you - you're the hero of the 4th estate.

    Map of Prop 8 Results by County

    The coastal counties from Santa Barbara north, with the exception of San Luis Obispo, and Del Norte at the top of the state held the line against discrimination and propagation of hate, along with Mono, and Alpine along the eastern center of the Sierra. While abysmal Tulare county had the most haters with 75.4% voting yes on hate.

    Words of wisdom, from a forgotten age...

    In 1948, the California Supreme Court recognized marriage as a fundamental right when it became the first state court in the country to strike down a law prohibiting interracial marriage. The California Supreme Court held that:

    Marriage is thus something more than a civil contract subject to regulation by the state; it is a fundamental right of free men. There can be no prohibition of marriage except for an important social objective and by reasonable means. No law within the broad areas of state interest may be unreasonably discriminatory or arbitrary.... The right to marry is as fundamental as the right to send one’s child to a particular school or the right to have offspring. Indeed, “We are dealing here with legislation which involves one of the basic civil rights of man. Marriage and procreation are fundamental to the very existence and survival of the race.” (Skinner v. Oklahoma, supra, at p. 541.) Legislation infringing such rights must be based upon more than prejudice and must be free from oppressive discrimination to comply with the constitutional requirements of due process and equal protection of the laws.
