Vague deja vu re: NC anti-gay vote and Prop. 8 vote.

plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.

Hope. Change. Yeah. Right.

1. This amendment won't stand a constitutional test, either

but DAMN, why do we have to fight tooth and toenail just to fucking exist?

[MNBrewer]

2. Here's hoping MN doesn't follow suit

May the ghost of Paul Wellstone finally find peace in our rejecting anti-gay marriage bias.

4. Ummm, it's a constitutional amendment

making it, well you know, constitutional. The reason they got it on the ballot as an amendment was so the judges couldn't strike down the law that already existed.

In order to repeal this amendment another one will have to be proposed and passed.

5. umm, well you know, it is just a STATE level constitution. Christians cannot hijack states nt

[Pab Sungenis]

6. State constitutions are subservient to the Federal Constitution.

14th Amendment. That's how the previous NC anti-marriage amendment was struck down.

7. Uh, study your civics

State laws, including their constitutions, are subordinate to the constitution of the United States. That means states cannot write laws that do not adhere to the Founding Document. Thus, a state cannot enact any legislation that does not stand a test of constitutionality.

Well, they can enact it, but they must expect for it to be struck down as either illegal or unenforceable.

3. All things pass with time...

This stain on our history will also fade in time... We will continue to fight. And, we will win!
