While the measure didn't pass, the 48 votes it did receive vs 50 do not ring like a true 'victory' to my ears.

Why is gay marriage even a question? You don't like gay marriage? Well then don't marry a gay guy / girl! Duh?

Oh yeah - and there was something I linked ages ago about a fellow who was trying to pass an ammendment to allow congress to overrule supreme court decisions - again focussing on perceived judicial activism as it relates to gay issues.

I'm pretty pissed off for a guy that never seems to fuck a guy, huh?

This whole distrust of the court system because it didn't agree with you trend is really rediculous. We NEED the checks and balances of all three parts of our government. I mean that's actually one of the biggest reason I vote for presidents instead of just congress. Because they have the power to appoint judges for the supreme court.

Sigh I could actually rant about this for hours, but I'll spare you.
