I appreciate your kind words William. We will need your help going forward. Until we unburden ourselves from this strain of Fundamentalism in our courts, we have to act as one. There are meany straight men who are horrified by this decision in part because either they are threatened with an actual "Shotgun wedding" or their sons may be. Whether or not the young men fathering unwanted babies will be responsible to that child is a wide open question. I wouldn't trust the Supreme Court to tackle that oncoming issue.
Not to mention the fact that real national security issues are taking a very distant back seat to these nuts because they've taken the Republican Party hostage.
