Yellow Dog for President!!!
Here is the absolute best take I've seen on the ruling of the Massachusetts Supreme Court regarding gay marriage:
I find it interesting that those on the Right are trying to make the case that the court is trying to legislate, when in fact: all the Court ever did was to point out that there was no law against gay marriage.
Marriage sanctioned only by God? If that's the case then why is marriage by a Justice of the Peace legal in all fifty states?
One can argue all one wants, but everyone who understands our laws knows that one person's rights end when they encroach on the rights of another. When those on the right say gay marriage is wrong, they are in-fact denying gays the right to happiness as well as lots of other legal and tax protections that marriage offers.
This is a smokescreen issue, kept in the forefront by conservative leadership for no more than control over their own supporters. "Keep 'em thinking someone is out to destroy their way of life and they keep reaching in their pocket books and running to the polls."
Yellow Dog! Yellow Dog! Yellow Dog!
