In 2005, when Black was serving in the Virginia House of Delegates, he made a speech in which he said he "did not know how on earth you could validly get a conviction of a husband-wife rape, when they're living together, sleeping in the same bed, she's in a nightie, and so forth, there's no injury, there's no separation or anything."

Where the hell do they get these guys?
A prayer
For those who suffer for the sake of Conscience O God our Father, whose Son forgave his enemies while hewas suffering shame and death: Strengthen those who suffer for the sake of conscience; when they are accused, save them from speaking in hate; when they are rejected, save them from bitterness; when they are imprisoned, save them from despair; and to us your servants, give grace to respect their witness and to discern the truth, that our society may be cleansed and strengthened. This we ask for the sake of Jesus Christ, our merciful and righteous Judge. Amen.

same sex marriage question for lawyers
Or at least someone with more legal training than my one year of law school ten years ago. Are those arguing in favor of marriage equality (by challenging state bans on 14th amendment grounds) using Scalia's dissent in recent cases to make their case?

a family member has offered to pay for me to get a concealed carry license
I am no gun nut but used to hunt quail a lot when my dad was alive so I am not unfamiliar with firearms and safety. I am going to take him up on it though I will never actually walk around town with a gun. But the class should be fun. Should I wear my Obama 08 shirt or my Gay Right are Human Rights shirt for the first class? Justice for Trayvon maybe?
Obamacare enrollment exploded in December to 2.2 million
Thhttp://talkingpointsmemo.com/dc/obamacare-december-enrollment-numberse
December enrollment surge for the Affordable Care Act that the Obama administration long predicted -- and desperately needed -- has come to fruition.As of Dec. 28, 2.2 million Americans have enrolled in private health coverage, according to new data released Monday by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. More than 1.8 million of them signed up in December alone, a huge spike that has gotten the law closer to its original goals than most would have thought possible after HealthCare.gov's disastrous rollout in October.The administration's original projection was 3.3 million enrollments in private health insurance by the end of 2013, so Obamacare isn't quite back on track yet. But considering the combined total in October and November was less than the administration
So the goal was 3.3 by now but given the initial website fuck up this is awesome news!

Fox: Where The Chris Christie Scandal Is Really Just About Benghazi
January 10, 2014 2:38 PM EST ››› EMILY ARROWOODFox News can't seem to talk about the Chris Christie bridge closure scandal without invoking Benghazi.Fox & Friends devoted five segments during its January 10 broadcast to the growing scandalsurrounding Republican Gov. Chris Christie and his administration's involvement in deliberate traffic gridlock across the George Washington Bridge as political retribution against the mayor of Fort Lee, NJ.But in every segment purporting to discuss Christie, the hosts and guests used the story to attack President Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton by bringing up the September 2012 attacks on U.S. facilities in Benghazi, Libya.

Question for UK DUers. Regarding Scottish independence referendum in Sept.
What is the conventional wisdom over there on how it will go? I have looked at the available polling results and it looks tilted against independence but with a large enough undecided sampling to indicate it could go either way.
