    "Now is not the time for us to be engaging in (…)

    If the radical right’s utter contempt for our nation’s courts was anything less than wholly evident prior to tonight, that blinder has been at once and permanently removed. The worst kept secret about the Republican Party in 2005 is that it does not hate the federal government in its entirety: it merely loathes—and seeks desperately to decimate—one co-equal branch of that government, the judicial branch. Editorial, The Nashua Advocate, March 23rd, 2005

    Two amendments against gays. Not one, but two amendments to the Texas constitution are being considered. I’m impressed! You guys must have some legislators really scared!
    HJR 6 would ban marriage for gay and lesbian couples. HJR 19 would not only ban marriage for gay and lesbian couples, but would also prohibit civil unions and domestic partnerships. It has the potential of nullifying legal contracts, such as a will or a power of attorney. These two idiot amendments (…)
