Jonathan Chait: “In 2004, the Republican Party was united in anger at the idea that judges would seize the issue of gay marriage from its rightful place in the legislative arena.”

Said President George W. Bush: “We will not stand for judges who undermine democracy by legislating from the bench and try to remake America by court order.”

Said the Alliance for Marriage: “The only question is whether the constitutional status of marriage will be determined by unelected judges or the American people.”

“Conservatives may finally get their wish. The matter of gay marriage is finally coming for a vote before what they have always insisted is its rightful venue: Congress. And yet, far from expressing gratitude that Congress is finally exerting its sacred Article III powers, conservatives are angry that elected officials are now meddling in business properly settled by the courts.”

Politico: Republicans freeze up on same-sex marriage.

1. Republicans are Exhausting...

Their house rules are always changing to fit their ugly narrative.

2. My Dad's friend, a WWII Spitfire pilot, had a story. He was in a line at the mall with his little

granddaughter. I think it was for ice cream. A woman in from of them was my size, obese. The woman's pager went off. The little girl screamed "Look out grandpa - she's backing up!"

That is what the GOP is struggling with. Do they anger the center or do they anger their base. Look out. They may be backing up!!!

3. To be fair,

Republicans are incoherent in all that they say.

4. "Republicans in Disarray"

That would be the headline if we had an impartial media.
